Oh my.

My heart belongs to Satan.

“And anger is sometimes a more manageable emotion than the helplessness and grief I feel about this catastrophe.” Right on, sister!

I keep on going back to “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater” by Vonnegut, I don’t know why…

Yup. But to Chris’ point, his foot is in his mouth the way WE look at it. He was telling the truth that nobody dared to tell to his followers… *shudder*

I’m with you. I admit: I didn’t give Haiti any special thought before. Remember the TV special on the MUD PIES that many people over there eat as the only food every single meal? That’s dirt. And that WAS before the earthquake. And there was outcry then. But of course, soon, they like everybody else was forgotten. If you look at the map, there is NO reason why Haiti should suffer 80% of poverty rate, especially compared to its neighbors.

Chris, thanks for visiting and commenting. You made a great point. Sometimes I feel I am sheltered in the fact that I have never been to the South, South, and probably never will. I understand that her letter is not going to do any material good, but it is extremely cathartic when I read it because I was made speechless by Pat Robertson’s statement, and you could probably tell how much I enjoy a good come back. This is just my very small contribution in the loud cacophony. I love you Lily Coyle. And I’ll say it again and again. No matter how few people hear it.

p.s. You can probably tell also that I am a bit Narcissistic. LOL.

Thanks. Will hop over and play when off work. Am out of town right now.

Lily Coyle has a nice ring to it. I wonder how she feels about her sudden fame…

Agreed. I had the crazy wolf popped-out eyes too.

That is a fantastic letter! Thanks for sharing it.

You know, I was just saying that I’m actually a little glad that Pat Robertson said the dumb shit that he said. Because he makes it easy for me to get mad. And anger is sometimes a more manageable emotion than the helplessness and grief I feel about this catastrophe.

Botox definitely reminds me of Hollywood. But all these “Real Housewives” shows make me suspect that it could be anywhere…
