HAITI EARTHQUAKE
Friend --
On Tuesday, a
catastrophic earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince,
Haiti.
The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but the death toll
-- already in the thousands -- is climbing fast.
This is the
worst earthquake to hit the area in more than 200 years. Entire
communities have been ripped apart and as many as 3 million people have
been directly affected, including tens of thousands of American citizens
who are in Haiti.
Our neighbors
in Haiti
are racing to confront the enormous devastation -- and this community can
help.

today. <http://my.democrats.org/page/m/4052b01f/5e7cf4e/6270e77a/74b97c38/4221401939/VEsH/>
Footage is
pouring in of homes collapsing, Haitians carrying injured family members,
and hospitals being overrun in what was already the poorest nation in the
Western Hemisphere.
I have
directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive
effort to save lives. Personnel from the United States and our
partners in the international community are on the ground in damaged
areas right now, working side by side with the Haitian people. They're
providing much-needed food, water, and sanitation supplies, saving lives
and helping local communities start to rebuild.
Despite the
fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home, I encourage those
who can to reach out and help. It's in times like these that we must show
the kind of compassion and humanity that has defined the best of our
national character for generations.

As this story
continues to unfold, I hope you will continue to keep the people of Haiti
in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the many Haitian-Americans who
have done so much to enrich our country and who are worried about friends
and loved ones in this time of need.
Thank you,
President
Barack Obama

The news coming out of Haiti
is almost too terrible to imagine.
Three million
people have been affected by Tuesday's earthquake, and the Red Cross
estimates as many as 50,000 may be dead. Survivors are digging through
the rubble with their hands in a desperate attempt to rescue those who
are trapped.
With water
and medical supplies in short supply, and the Haitian government
paralyzed, international aid efforts in the next few days will be
critical to prevent more human suffering.
These three
charities, and many others, are providing care. If you can contribute to
help fund their emergency efforts, please do.

Washington - Evidence now available
from various sources, including recently declassified U.S. State
Department documents, shows that the Taliban regime led by Mullah
Mohammad Omar imposed strict isolation on Osama bin Laden after 1998 to
prevent him from carrying out any plots against the United States.

If we add in the Citi
bailout, the total cost now exceeds $4.6165 trillion dollars.
People have a hard time conceptualizing very large
numbers, so let’s give this some context. The current Credit Crisis
bailout is now the largest outlay In American history.
Crunching the inflation adjusted numbers, we find
the bailout has cost more than all of these big budget government
expenditures – combined:
• Marshall Plan: Cost: $12.7 billion, Inflation
Adjusted Cost: $115.3 billion
• Louisiana Purchase: Cost: $15 million, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $217
billion
• Race to the Moon: Cost: $36.4 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $237
billion
• S&L Crisis: Cost: $153 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $256
billion
• Korean War: Cost: $54 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $454 billion
• The New Deal: Cost: $32 billion (Est), Inflation Adjusted Cost: $500
billion (Est)
• Invasion of Iraq: Cost: $551b, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $597 billion
• Vietnam War: Cost: $111 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $698
billion
• NASA: Cost: $416.7 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $851.2 billion
TOTAL: $3.92 trillion

GETTING FUCKED BY POLITICIANS
I don’t know about you, but I am sick to death
with politics, politicians and all those who work for local government
screwing us every single time we turn around.
Now – there was a time when I loved to get
fucked, to open the cheeks of my
ass and let just about any man with a decent dick roger me rotten, face down in the pillow, and I didn’t
even need to know who he was or what he looked like as long as he shoved
that big fat piece of man meat into me, and yet, with my maturing years
and my change in political, sexual likes and dislikes, I prefer to know exactly who is going
to fuck me over these days and look them in the face, and find out as much as I can about
whether what they are doing will be safe sex or is he going to be telling me he loves me, that he cares
for me and that he will look after me and everything I want from our
‘relationship, while giving me one
bare back – ( or is it bare faced ), and reaching into my wallet and
stealing my money while holding me down whispering sweet nothings into my
ear.
It seems that all politicians and local
government care less about you and me and more about their career. They care less about world peace and
stability as long as they are in power and screwing anyone and everyone
they can in order to stay in power, and I am sick of it all.
Oh I shall vote in the next general election, I
always have and I always will and I shall weigh up which is the less of
the evils and I shall read and listen and find out which one practises
safe sex and who might seem to honestly in love with me – or at
least has some semblance of
affection for the person he is fucking at the time, and I shall endeavour
to look him in the eyes and see if he can keep my eye contact when I ask
him – ‘Can I trust you – is what you say true.’ And if he glances away,
smirk’s, tells me something about the previous person who fucked me and
how awful they were, claim it will be a better fuck than I have been
offered for the last few years, or
that he is going to fuck me because it is good for peace and harmony,
then I will dismiss him as nothing more than a spinned out, lying, fucked up, money robbing son of a bitch that has
screwed me before and left me empty of anything decent while smiling for
the cameras as he left and pocketed the money to live happily ever after.
If I am going to be fucked and stolen from and
lied to, I can find a boyfriend for that who I have some
control over as I can end the affair any time I feel I have lost control
of the situation. Politicians, it seems,
continue to screw you, lie to you and steal from you long after
the relationship has turned sour and you have voiced your discontent and
they do so bare faced, staring you in the eyes, claiming the exact
opposite to what has been said and done previously and assume you will ‘
buy it’ if they repeat it often enough.
The lying bastards – the thieving assholes, the murderous uncaring
selfish people we vote into power who then take us into an illegal war
and lie lie lie about it for ever more – the money they steal for
mortgages that do not exist on second homes they rent out to other people
and the duck houses that we pay for – the constant fuck up with the
economy where fat cat bankers are given billions in bonuses while
destroying our lifestyle, high street and world economy ( it angers me to
see how local small business’ are closing all over the place while the
bakers make millions on the backs of so much suffering 0 and the manner in which we are STILL
lied to.
Do they honestly think we are stupid.
