Tru,
Sounds as if you had quite a weekend too. It wasn't to bad here but is supposed to rain today and tomorrow. I have to go to the dentist in the morning. Yay!!!
I don't know if this is true or not as I received it in an e-mail but if it is, it really backs up som,e of what has leaked out of the news about Haiti.
Some news and truth back from Haiti from Nic Brockhausen and Dennis Hebler, who was there recently trying to help. They made it back somewhat safe and sound.
Haiti Diary...

To All,
I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday (24 January 2010) to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.
Port-au-Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact. Our team was a rescue team. We carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead; the city smells like a charnel (bone yard or burial ground) house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers' money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti-American. Most are French or French speakers, worthless every damn one of them. While 1,800 rescuers were ready willing and able to leave the airport and go do our jobs, the UN and USAID (another organization full of little Obamites and communists that openly speak against America) was present. These two organizations showed their parochialism by:
USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.
Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.
Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn't release a drop of it to the rescuers.
No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decontamination equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.
No latrine facilities, less digging a hole. If you set up a ****ter everyone was trying to use it.
I watched a 25 year old Obamite with the USAID shrieking hysterically, berate a full bird colonel in the air force, because he countermanded her orders, while trying to unscrew the air pattern. "You don't know what your President wants! The military isn't in charge here; we are!"
If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN don't waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left.
If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans? Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society?
Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn't need democracy, what Haiti needs is Papa Doc.
That's not just my opinion. That is what virtually every Haitian we talked with said. The French run, the UN treat us... the same as when we were a colony, at least Papa Doc ran the country.
Oh, and as a last slap in the face the last four of us had to take US Airways home from Phoenix. They slapped me with a $590 baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn't give us a discount or she would lose her job. Pass that on to the flying public.
