2 million people living 20 miles from the epicenter of a 7.0 earthquake, largely in shantytowns. I'd set the over under on fatalities at around 120,000,

I was just reading about that. At least one hospital collapsed, "houses" tumbled into ravines... it sounds horrendous.

On land or sea? If there's any tsunami activity I'd add another 5k to that figure.

I wish it were a tsunami, the exciting video of people dying we're all dying to see is so much better when there's giant water involved.

It was a shallow, rolling type. There won't be a tsunami but it's hell on unsupported brick buildings.

For those so inclined, you can kick down a few bucks here.

Wolf Blitzer tells me "all we know now is that people are screaming in the streets of Port au Prince."

I'm hoping he meant "streaming into".

I would imagine both. I've been through a 7.0. Screaming is a natural response under the best circumstances.

So is streaming, in an entirely personal sense.

Aren't people are pretty much always screaming in the streets of Port au Prince?

Goddamn it, that poor country can't catch a break. Haitians are some of the nicest, happiest people on Earth living in one of the biggest holes. I hosted some for the Folklife Festival once. Jesus. I hope they're okay.

We needed Rush Limbaugh to show us the truth behind this Smiley: oyvey

The "Christian Right" are neither.

I don't know any Haitians but I'm pretty sure Haiti wins the "Biggest Shithole in the Western Hemisphere" award. When I took a History of Latin America course, we'd look at various charts of quality of life conditions and Haiti was always dead last, notably behind even various impoverished Latin American countries.

And, yes, I know Haiti isn't "Latin America" but it was lumped into charts of LA & the Caribbean.

And here comes Pat Robertson, always ready to ***** himself out for attention in the face of tragedy.

I can't believe it is 2010 and people are still using natural disasters as proof of some religious ideal. Then again, considering the mouthpiece, it is somewhat less hard to believe.

I hear that many countries are sending food clothes and medical specialists.

USA is sending orange jump-suits.

It counts as the Caribbean, and it's one-half of Hispaniola, so it's culturally similar to the Dominican Republic.

1 million seems to be the magic number for donation pledges form corporations/organizations/celebrities. Red cross: 1 mil. Brangelina: 1 mil. Bank of America: 1 mil. The number keeps popping up over and over again.

So Bill Clinton's the UN special envoy for Haiti, and Dubya was tapped to go along. I see that sending two presidents lends everything a certain weight, but I wish one of them wasn't such a ****-poor administrator. This is going to take a lot of organization.

I'm very broke but I gave blood today. If nothing else, that's $30 to the red cross.

But I've heard he is an expert at clearing brush. Maybe that will translate into clearing rubble, too.

Olbermann responds to Ol' Pat and cohorts. It's awesome. (Youtube)

Here is an alternate link for people that can't see YouTube.

Part of what was said...

Olbermann, in part wrote:

Even the worst of us in this political mosh pit of the early 21st century can stop on occasion in grief and human sympathy and mourning, or just in self-preservation. Not Rush Limbaugh, and not Pat Robertson.

Sir, because of your tone-deafness and your delight in human misery and your dripping, self-satisfied, holier-than-thou senile crap, I'm likelier to believe now that you are the devil.

Mr. Robertson, Mr. Limbaugh, your lives are not worth those of the lowest, meanest, poorest of those victims still lying under that rubble in Haiti tonight. You serve no good, you serve no God. You inspire only stupidity and hatred, and I would wish you to hell. But knowing how empty your souls must be for you to be able to say such things in a time of such pain, I suspect the vacant, purposeless lives you both live now are hell enough already.

John Edwards is also going to attempt to rebuild the decimated pimping infrastructure. Honestly, though, when did you become this politically naive?? Do you really think Bubba's going to be mapping out the course of action for the UN in Haiti????
