You'd not expect a natural disaster of the magnitude of Haiti's earthquake would incite much other than a unanimous sense of horror and sympathy on the part of Americans. But how far from the truth this expectation is in the case of Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh. I expect that you've all heard their remarks by now: the former blamed the earthquake on the Haitians' "pact with the devil" to overthrow the French, which God has avenged in the form of a curse of natural disasters such as hurricanes and, now, a massive earthquake. Limbaugh blasted Obama for exploiting the opportunity to curry favor with the American black community by extending aid to the victims of the quake. Fortunately, these kinds of comments were few and far between, and vast numbers of Americans have chipped in private donations to help deal with a devastating situation.
How goes the Ricci reading? Any questions to address in this forum?
Enjoy the warmer weather. It won't last forever!
