Like Rip VanWinkel, I've arisen from my bed after a month of coma-ic rest and relaxation. My sincerest apologies to all who rely on this blog for their news, not only because I've disappointed you with no posts, but because if you really get all your news info from me, then you need to read a paper. Seriously, have you seen my articles?
Speaking of Republicans, Pat Robertson, the nations beacon of virtue and truth, claims that the Haiti earthquake befell those good people because they made a pact with the devil in Napoleonic times. Thanks to John B for the article.
Two things: First, Mr. Robertson, well-known televangelist and host of the 700 club, has proven himself a welcome addition to Howard Stern's radio program with his record of attention mongering and blatantly disrespectful comments. Second, kicking a country that's been brought to its knees is not only not-Christian, it's in human. The plight faced by millions of people in that country is not a victory for any member of humankind, though some would like to spin it as a demonstration of God's divine and compassionate vengeance. Well done Pat.
For information about how you can help with the relief effort, see the button in the right column under "Help in Haiti." Please, keep these people in your thoughts and remember for at least one day how good it is to live in a home with loved ones and food in the pantry.
