Wretchard #78: “Culture counts, even within a single country.”

Your story of the air crashes brings to mind one told by a member of USAF. Back in the 90’s he was on a humanitarian mission to Africa and an aircraft crashed just after takeoff. He and others ran to help and while trying to rescue the survivors he felt something odd. An African was trying to pick his pocket.

Habu #114:

Obama will no doubt soon announce that all 9 million Haitians will be employed as administrative staff for the new Universal Health Care he wishes to impose on us. Unfortunately disadvantaged minorities gravitate toward those kinds of jobs like flies to honey or substances even more aromatic.

And they won’t even have to move here because it can all be handled by phone. Which is another advantage, because the Friends of Bill ended up in control of Haiti’s phone system after our invasion in 1994.
