Today, eight days after Haiti broke, a baby Earthquake bigger than any I've experienced (6.5) took another shot at Haiti. I am now convinced that Haiti is the worst place to be ever. It's one thing to have a giant Earthquake kick your ass, two of its babies come to tug at your hair, and a lot of your people dead, but then the wimpy uncle of the earthquake comes to punch you in the face. Haiti, you must be pretty miserable.
There was, however, a faint glimmer of hope today, as a 15 day old baby was found under the rubble, unharmed. So, I guess he was just hanging out. So, I'm glad for you, parentless, nameless, lost, Haitian child. You are a lucky (?) one.
A pair of innocent tots were pulled out of the mass of stone we call Haiti. One was named Tiki but I didn't catch the name of the other one, a shame really. They're safe and sound, with minor injuries. Which is good, but it's still two more children that have been misplaced.
The last of a group of 50 something orphans made it to the U.S. today. The last one would've been there sooner, but rather than get on the plane, she decided to wander off and play. What a rebellious young scamp. Although, you can't really blame her, she is a kid and kids like to play.
So, Haiti, in a last ditch effort, is starting to recover and looks like everything will be A-Ok.
Oh wait.
What about the Aid that some of the victims are supposed to be getting? Well, the group of victims camped right near Port-Au-Prince Airport (the place where the aid is landing from its aid airplane) is still waiting for help, but it's alright, according to an interview I saw on the T.V. (The most trusted source of information!) the Navy troops deployed to give aid have plenty of food and water for themselves.
Wait...

My Views can beat up your Views.
Recently, a Republican oozed himself into Ted Kennedy's seat. Which is just how it happened. I have no problem with Democrats or Republicans, they are just people with different views. Acceptable.
Or it should be.
But now, it seems, that because a Democrat held the seat for 47 years, now that a Republican has it, IT'S AN OUTRAGE.
What? Why? Now I am a Democrat, so don't get the wrong impression.
When I look up Ted Kennedy on Google, and see Twitter entries like this one:
"So, uh, did Massachusetts just take a giant crap on top of Ted Kennedy's grave? 'Cause that's what I heard..."
Which brings me to my point, whenever something that doesn't match our particular views happens, we have to find a scapegoat. Amusing that something can't happen without it being the States fault, or maybe the peoples fault, or maybe The governments fault.
Or maybe a guy got elected and you can just deal.
I am as disappointed as the next guy that it was a republican, but it isn't like any one is at fault.
This isn't the first time someone needed to blame something on someone. Remember Haiti? Back when it was still here, just after the Earthquake than destroyed it, someone on Fox Noose blamed the Haitians for making god angry with them a long time ago and so he blew the shit out of Haiti. Why blame the Haitians? Why do it with god?
A. Because the Haitians are bad?
B. Because if something goes wrong, it means the Deity forces are pissed at you.
What about Katrina? You know, the one hurricane that New Orleans took the brunt of in the face. That had something that could be blamed, an earthquake that made big wave.
No wait, it's F.E.M.A's fault for not helping.
F.E.M.A should have sent aid, yes, but they didn't cause the quake.
So, next time you think of the Ted Kenneseat, think of those damned Republicans that caused this mess (?)

Wallets (And the things that go into them.)
It seems as though, in the world to day, whatever it is that anything has to do with, requires you to pour your green slips of paper into. Even Haiti, in an effort to not suck, needs you to give the support group money. Yes, it seems as though everything needs money.
Which is a problem as most of us don't have any.
No one has any and we want to get the economy going again?
Divide by zero error.

Oh hey, remember this?
Hey, hey, guys.
Long time no see.
Yeah, decided I might as well do this now. So this time, I swear I'll update.
Okay well, watch for that.
