Haiti

Horrible, horrible devastation of one of the poorest countries in the world, and I'm surrounded by wingnuts who are bitching about sending aid. "Did any countries come to OUR aid after 9/11?" one asked. Well, as a matter of fact, yes. And yes, I sent her the link and she shut up. Meanwhile, for those who do not think of "compassion" as a dirty word, Feministe has a good compendium.

I just can't imagine what is wrong with people who react to this disaster in such a gawdawful way!
Then there is Pat Robertson saying it is God's judgement on Haiti because they made a deal with the devil!
