I’m enjoying the outpouring of sympathy for the natural disaster in Haiti, from the entire Western world. It’s like, sure, your country was famous for its underdeveloped infrastructure and poverty and disease, but that was your fault. An earthquake that destroys hospitals full of those HIV-riddled children we didn’t give a crap about yesterday? GET THE AID OUT!

But seriously, if you find yourself giving a shit (because our empathy extends to natural disasters, since we can relate: any day now, the entire Pacific Rim is about to slide into the sea), you can help. Just try to keep giving a shit after the aid-dollars trickle out, OK? (Oh yeah, and how’s that rebuilding of New Orleans going?)
