Devastation in Haiti – Pt 2
  • The news continues to go from bad to worse in Haiti.  I am reading death toll estimates into the hundreds of thousands.  I hope/pray that those are not accurate, but given the video that is coming off the island, it appears that even those estimates might be low. The videos that are appearing on Youtube by the minute are giving a frighteningly clear image of what is going on there.  [...]
    • HAITI – Assistance Organizations
  • As I’ve been reading about Haiti, the earthquake and the aftermath, I am struck by the number of organizations that are mobilizing to help and that already have a presence there, less than 72 hours later.  Building on the initial list that John put up in the first post about the earthquake, here is a more comprehensive list with links: CHARITY NAVIGATOR:  This is site that screens and rates charities.  [...]
    • Nuking the World
  • A group called Carlos Labs wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of Google Earth, so they came up with a unique little applet. Their script allows you to search any city, then choose a nuclear weapon with which to bomb it. An overlay then appears showing the extent of the devastation, ranging from “conflagration” at the center to “1st degree burns” at the edges. Morbid? Yes. But surprisingly interesting. I’m relieved [...]
    • Is This Islam?
  • If this is Islam, then Islam must die: Samaira Nazir was murdered by her brother and his cousin. Her father, allegedly involved in the attack, is in hiding Miss Nazir, 25, had rejected suitors lined up to meet her in Pakistan and had been summoned to the family home in Southall, Middlesex.The father, also called Azhar, Nazir and the youth launched the attack and at one point dragged her by [...]
    • Talking to Your Mom Can Get You Suspended
  • Stories like this drive me NUTS! Being a teacher, I agree that there is vast room for improvement in the educational system,…but I don’t believe that the system is as broken or twisted as many pundits and politicos do. That being said, you read a story like this and it is hard NOT to believe that the adults involved are lacking in intelligence and/or common sense! The short version of [...]
    • Trailers for Invention of Lying Lied to Moviegoers
  • Here’s the trailer for Ricky Gervais, The Invention of Lying: Makes it look like Liar, Liar in reverse. A romantic comedy with an edge. Only that’s not what the film is about. Here’s how a few reviewers described it: MARKETED as a romantic comedy, “The Invention of Lying” turns out to be a dour, shouty atheist manifesto. With a change of scenery it could have been called “Godless in Seattle.” [...]
    • Iran Hostage Crisis Day 13 – Conspiracy Day (Update – They’re FREE!)
  • iran-hostages.jpgUpdate 10:30AM: All 15 soldiers are being freed today: Iran has freed the 15 sailors and Royal Marines captured in the Persian Gulf as a “gift” to the British people to mark the Easter season. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the surprise announcement in the closing minutes of a press conference in Teheran today.

    • Just Had a Small Earthquake Here in Huntington Beach
  • Didn’t last long. Just one good shake here. I’ll post a link as soon as someone gets the story up. KCAL9 is reporting a 5.0 quake West of LA. They interviewed someone closer to the epicenter who said it lasted nearly a minute. Here’s the story: A magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck one mile south of San Bernardino at 7:49 p.m. Thursday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
    • Sen. Feingold Defends Public Plan, Admits Ultimate Goal is Single-Payer
  • Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) spoke from the Senate floor today, in strong support of the public plan. According to Sen. Feingold, the public plan is the “most important element” of any reform legislation. Watch: In case there remains any doubt as to why the public plan is so critically important to the liberal Democrats driving the health reform agenda, let’s wind the clock back to May 12 of this year [...]

    • Haiti: The Tiniest Survivor

    John on January 22, 2010 at 7:43 am

    From the Daily Mail:

    No one believed that Elisabeth Joassaint could have lived as the family home was crushed by the weight of its upper storey.

    It was a full seven days later that a French rescue team returned to the ruins to search for the baby’s body – and heard faint cries.

      Wow! It’s really a miracle that the baby’s life is spared from the tragedy that has killed so many. I believe, there is a greater purpose and reason why the child has lived. Only God knows.
