#2 At times like this, I'm wondering if Royal Caribbean cruises are still stopping at Labadee. Of course, they always tried to gloss over the fact that it was in Haiti. But you knew, if only because there weren't any fish in the water (it'd been all fished out). Nothing spookier than a pretty coral reef with *no* fish around...

#3 Shipman -- have you ever been to Haiti? The ones who made it out of Haiti are the ones with drive and ambition. The ones ruining Haiti are the ones that have no ambition beyond running the protection racket they call government.

#5 Canada said a team of soldiers flew into Port-au-Prince on Tuesday to aid a possible evacuation of some 1,000 Canadians.

...and are their arms tired.
I'm here all week.
