I agree to some extent, snaps. But the idea of people suffering so unbelievably and the US not helping just boggles my mind. Whether or not we like it, we’re part of the human community and the global community. Everything we do- or don’t- has worldwide repercussions. that said, I hope we give Haiti some real help. It’s a terrible tragedy and what kind of country would we be if we stood on the sidelines and looked away?
“I also feel that international aid is nothing more than a p.r. stunt on the part of our govt. We just want to look good in the eyes of the world. That turns me off.”
I agree with this in almost all cases. I’m cynical enough to think that makes sense to bribe other countries a lot of the time though! Probably more productive than threatening them.
“Go to the antiques site dave posted- there are a few things I’ve put on the shopping list. And I hired a contractor to build a fancy extension so MM won’t have to live in the garage.”
bxgrl, I’ll look, but I make no promises. I am simply NOT buying you anything that you can throw at me when we’re fighting. And nice how you’re suddenly letting MM move out of the garage in the midst of a custody fight over her!!
Sure.
While I was watching ‘Jersey Shore’ with my ‘Cats’, ‘Cats’ and ‘cats’. I had to pause it and go to the bathroom from eating too many ‘Meatball’ ‘Truffles’. They didn’t agree with me cause the ‘Poo Mist’ in the air was affecting ‘Over there>>>>>>>>>’. I should have stuck to the I-talian recipe recommending by ‘Benson’. I wonder what ‘Benson’ is doing now?

Gem, I totally agree that we are likely more able to supply the aid they need, especially with something like this. But, I still have to stick to my dirty kitchen thing. I think Obama will treat Haiti differently than past leaders. He’s got to in order to help differentiate himself in that arena.
So, Legion, are you changing your name to “Knight of Faith” or “Leap”?

Arkady,
lol…you mean you didn’t catch me in the Park Slope Community Theatre production of The Seventh Seal? I was playing the
crusader with the Cross Cape and the chess board.
LOL Etson! Yes, I suppose it’s how we curry favor that we can collect on at a later date.
Legion – sorry I missed it. Who played Max (be still my heart) von Sydow?
truffles are too expensive. Can we use mushrooms?
