Haiti's mass graves swell
~The death toll is estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian government figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80,000 buried in mass graves. The commission now estimates 2 million homeless, up from 1.5 million, and says 250,000 are in need of urgent aid.
An Associated Press reporter counted 15 burial mounds at Clerzier's site, each covering a wide trench cut into the ground some 25 feet (8 meters) deep, and rising 15 feet (4.5 meters) into the air. At the larger mass grave, where Foultone Fequiert, 38, toiled, three earth-moving machines cut long trenches into the earth, readying them for more cadavers.
"I have seen so many children, so many children. I cannot sleep at night and, if I do, it is a constant nightmare," said Fequiert, his face covered with a T-shirt against the overwhelming stench.
The dead stick out at all angles from the mass graves — tall mounds of chalky dirt, the limbs of men, women and children frozen together in death. "I received 10,000 bodies yesterday alone," said Fequiert. Workers say they have no time to give the dead proper religious burials or follow pleas from the international community that bodies be buried in shallow graves from which loved ones might eventually retrieve them.

~Leslie Jacobs, a former member of the New Orleans school board and the state education board who, like Murray, recently dropped out of the race, said polling data show New Orleans voters want someone with government experience. When they dropped out of the race, Jacobs and Murray each cited polls indicating a strong position in the race for Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, a 49-year-old member of a prominent and popular political family who has held elective office for most of his adult life -- a career politician.
~Editilla Crowtellas~ I can't speak of Mr. Murray due to the Racial 3 Card Monte involved with a couple of the other black candidates and Murray's citing Race as his reason for quitting --not polls. I am disgusted by Poll Dancing campaigns.
Mrs. Jacobs offered so much in the initial "Idea" of her candidacy, yet to me she never actually Ran A Campaign.
Rather, Leslie Jacobs ran a Website, a Facebook page, slick Ads, Twits and Polls... but she never actually even attempted to get out there on the street and do Actual Campaigning.
That bothers me because I did like her most because of her relation to the founder of levees.org and y'all know where I come from wit'dat. She had brains, money, connections and personnel yet chose to keep it all up to her "Advisers" and "Manages", many of whom were simply to young to understand mayoral politics in this city. They had her folding before Mrs. Jacobs ever even played a single card, so much so you would think Landrieu was Dealing the Deck already. I do hope that should Mrs Jacobs make a Run for Council sometime, she will Actually Run the Gauntlet.

And because this is not just a story about dollars and cents, I asked Locke if he had lost staff in the earthquake. This is how he responded. (Soundbite of labored breathing)

I have moved into a bad, yet familiar place emotionally as the situation in Haiti grows ever more vicious with every passing hour. Haiti is no longer a "nation" but millions of severely injured, dying and dead human beings.
Haiti will remain a Culture Enduring.

Yéle, Wth Fear? ~Citizen K
~Wyclef Jean's Haitian Charity Comes Under Scrutiny~NPR~Neda Ulaby: Yele Haiti has also been criticized because its Web site claims 100 percent of donations now are going to earthquake relief. That's true, says Locke; overhead costs are paid from its base budget.
And because this is not just a story about dollars and cents, I asked Locke if he had lost staff in the earthquake. This is how he responded. (Soundbite of labored breathing)
~Video of Wycleff Jean discusses this smear campaign.
~Editilla notellas~Also please catch Citizen K's Sunday Funnies. It has become a regular thing for us to hang here on your New Orleans Ladder, but he did this post on Haiti Philanthropy that we felt compelled to go with first as we were so busy last night watching Our Boys march to Glory!
I have moved into a bad, yet familiar place emotionally as the situation in Haiti grows ever more vicious with every passing hour. Haiti is no longer a "nation" but millions of severely injured, dying and dead human beings.
Haiti will remain a Culture Enduring.
But, there is no Nation of Haiti this sixth day after the earthquake, only a shifting number of survivors, just people in crisis Sinn Féin. Om Mani Padme Hum
