So I'm posting about Haiti. I feel bad for the country, I really do, because that many deaths is an absolute tragedy. And, yes, Pat Roberts can go suck it (I think the guy's secretly craving a gang-rape-style anal pounding or he wouldn't be always making antagonistic comments) for what he said. While the earthquake is shocking, the results from the earthquake are less so. The quality of the majority of the buildings on the half of the island that Haiti is on leaves something to be desired. It's a third-world country, so thy don't have the money to make buildings secure against natural disasters (the US does, hence the US Embassy is still standing). Because it is a third-world country, there's a number of people inside of most dwellings at any given time that would make a fire marshal have a heart-attack. The more crowded a building is, the fewer secure spots (like under a table or in a doorway) there are available for a person to go to that are not occupied. Now, admittedly, the Dominican Republic is on the other side of the quake, so Haiti did have to bear the brunt of it, but there are no horror stories coming out of that country. It has the second largest economy of the region and therefore is more developed than Haiti. Moral of the story: if you have a choice, don't live in a third-world country with a corrupt government when there's a more developed country right next door.
Quick note about NBC: Will somebody please get the animatronic of Jay Leno off the stage? Get rid of him (the fact that he made such a spectacular fail of himself shows that people don't want to watch him for the sake of him) and keep Conan at his spot. These late night shows are interchangeable and Conan is more likely to kiss NBC's ass instead of Jay, who enjoys having NBC give him metaphorical bjs. Oh, and I really really really hope that they keep Trauma, or at least turn it into the Taylor Kinney Half-Naked Variety Hour (he's a real man's man without being a frat boy *coughMatthewMcConaugheycough*).
