Why do I get the feeling that Zero won’t care about this quake?

So will the CNN team now split up and do 24 hours a day from Argentina, Haiti and Venezuela? Frankly, I’m just about Haiti’ed out on earthquake news. There’s only about a thousand ways to tell the message, and I think they are up to five thousand now.

Is San Fran getting nervous? I hear Danny Glover won’t go near there and is planning a vacation in Cuba.

Glover loves Cuba. I bet they treat him like a king with their slaves down there.

Will Obama give aid to all 3 nations? Make the trip himself to show solidarity? Or will he be hiding in the White House after Coakley loses?

Any celeb who loves being pampered in Cuba secretly wants to run his own plantation.

I sure hope this activity isn’t hopscotching around a Main Event on the New Madrid Fault.

That would make Katrina look like a picnic.

Zero either gets obsessed or completely ignores it. Note his brother in Hut-Sweet-Hut.
