Default 100K+ dead in Haiti?

How horrible... perhaps those of you on the east coast/south can organize
some sort of flotilla and help these poor people?

The American Red Cross is involved now. They always need help with
contributions when they help out in these large disasters. Your heart
has to go out to Haitians; one damned disaster after another.

How ironic, though, that the other side of the Island has all the nice
things, and the money.

That could be dangerous. Better to support govt or Red Cross agencies who
have the knowhow & contacts to do what's needed.

Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida, just announced his state has an
emergency relief site up for Haiti, and that search teams from south
Florida have been "federalized" to aid in the rescue effort.

Of course, he's a smart conservative who understands what needs to be
done when it counts. Mayor Nagin and ex-Governor Blanco could learn a
lot from this guy.

Unbelievable that the citizens of NO put Nagin back into office. NO,
corrupt to the end. At least the state threw Blanco out and put
Jindal, a conservative, in as Governor. Unlike Blanco I'll bet he'll
be able to ask for federal assistance in a proper, timely manner. Can
probably slap some sense into Nagin as well. Use those damn buses!

Well, isn't that interesting. Thanks for your absolutely useless
comment, jackieboy.

You are an incredible ass to talk about politics, when there's such a
tragedy unfolding.

You're probably right... I was thinking about the people on sailboats who
helped after the tsunami... probably took lots of risks.
