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.

220 miles offshore south of the tip of South America.

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

5.6 Venezuela Earthquake — I don’t even remember hearing about that one.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

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?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

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.

Comrade Glover proves the old axiom "leftism rots the brain"

This one happened way south, below the ocean between Cape Horn and Antarctica.
