In Passing

In Passing
 I found people in lots of trouble

The Underlying Tragedy
The first of those truths is that we don’t know how to use aid to reduce poverty. Over the past few decades, the world has spent trillions of dollars to generate growth in the developing world. The countries that have not received much aid, like China, have seen tremendous growth and tremendous poverty reductions. The countries that have received aid, like Haiti, have not.

Home Stretch
We’re in the home stretch, but this race is far from over. Two full days for dirty tricks ahead, on top of the president’s last-minute Hail Mary pass.

Massachusetts a Game Changer
On Democratic donors — it would discourage them from opening their checkbooks. On Republican donors — the impact would be electric in kindling their interest and generosity. On Democratic incumbents seeking re-election — But Wait! -read the comments and see what's worrying people raht now!

The Cook Report -- Colossal Miscalculation On Health Care-
It's the economy stupid. Could joblessness still be above 9 percent when the 2012 presidential election year begins?

Obama Stumbles at Coakley Event

Broken teleprompter?

After Obama Rally, Dems Pin Blame On Bush
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), speaking with a gaggle of reporters after the event, said that while state Sen. Scott Brown (R) offers voters a quick fix, in reality, the problems created by "George Bush and his cronies" are not so easily solved.

Scott Brown: Obama Is A Bastard
Well - Where is the Marriage Certificate?


POTUS issues reserve order -the military’s reserve , to be called up in support of relief operations in Haiti.
This is what Dems think the military is there for ... Didn't take him three months to think about either.

The Bush-Blamers remind me of a joke going around during the Watergate era. A woman walks out of a beauty parlor, only to encounter a cloudburst. Her new hairdo is ruined before she can get her umbrella opened.

Her reaction was to shake her fist at the sky and scream "that named Nixon!"

You look at all these concrete buildings and think, If they
are so poor, how can they afford
all these armored cement houses???

Thing is, and it's true of all these Mediterranean types of buildings,
even in China, all South America, Italy,
North Africa, that so-called "concrete" is little more than
dried mud...that's why they can afford it!
The construct only hold by the steel re-bar within!
Shake only a bit and the immense weight turn everything to dust
and suddenly pancake to the ground.

In 87, a 7.3 richter scale in Chicoutimi, quebec, zero damage.
In Algeria ten years before, 60,000
deaths but not one colonial building damaged...
all socialist appartments collapsed, ALL OF THEM!!!
Everything built by Mussolini in Naple collapsed,
Same with Mao's garbage in China
and Aristide and Duvalier's crap in Haiti...

There's building codes for a reason!

Poverty, disaster, famine ...

Point the finger at the local government.

Countries with functional governments recover quickly. Areas with even no government recover faster than countries with bad governments.

Teach the Haitians how to keep a Republic, and the disaster cycles will end.

Obama is a bastard whether or not his mother was married. He's a son of a bitch, too.

Ask the Rockefeller family if they gave any money to China. (at least millions)
