Haiti gets hit by a new 6.1-magnitude earthquake

Wyclef Jean Calls for Evacuating Haiti Capital~Samantha Gross
~"Port-au-Prince is a morgue," Jean said at a Manhattan press conference, recounting how he collected the corpses of small children and adults from the festering streets on his recent trip. Tears streamed down his face as he looked into the camera, speaking to his countrymen.

This is what happens after Bararck Obama became more interested in the brand than sticking with the message. ~slabbed~Yep, we supported you but dude you lost us. Ed Liddy, AIG Bonuses, that lying sack of shit Tim Geithner and the retreads like Laurence Summers guaranteed it.
How ironic that it is Ted Kennedy’s old senate seat that will derail health care reform. Meantime if Mr Prez wants to find out what he can do to get things back on track he need look no further than the bluedogs in his own party.
