Sorry. I live in NJ. Crisco is a RINO. He’s fine for this retarded state, but for prez? N.O., as in NEVER. (Let Bridgegate rein!!)

Umm, nobody on a newspaper (unless it’s the NY Times or Washington Post) really looks at letters to the editor, even more so nowadays with overworked skeleton staffs. Unless it’s their job, like an op-ed editor or a clerk.

Are you serious??

It's not so odd that so many papers published the letter (you have no idea how many more were sent out to papers that didn't publish it.)

Ellie Light sent the same letter with different cities that corresponded to the coverage area of the target newspaper. Usually the op-ed editor or a clerk will call the person to make sure they did indeed send the letter before they publish it.

That's what's so odd about this email - what phone number did Ellie Light use? Or did the papers even bother to verify that Ellie Light sent the email?

I can see some papers with the lack of staff just skipping over the verification and printing it. But all those papers?

And of course we'll never know how many papers didn't print it because they couldn't confirm that Ellie Light even existed.

Well, of COURSE. Who wouldn’t want to invade the black hole of charitable donations and take it over? I can’t imagine any country in the whole world who wouldn’t want to invade Haiti and make it theirs! (I mean, in case there’s a country with too much money and not enough problems.)

The Hotel Montana is on a hill, surrounded by a fence and accessible only via a gated entrance. For Haiti, it IS safe(r).

What gets me about the girls on that trip was that they come from an expensive private college in Boca Raton. This trip was a five day wintersession program to "help po' folks."

That's it. FIVE DAYS to be humanitarians! They went to Haiti for FIVE DAYS, and they stayed at an expensive, secluded hotel!

I've nothing against missionairies and the like who want to devote themselves to working with the congenitally poor. But why even bother going at all if it's only for five freaking days??

The school's website says that they were going to pick up trash on the beach, help feed "po' chillrin," and help build a house. Uh huh.

All those able-bodied Haitian men who sit on their butts all day can't go down and pick up trash on the beach? How about hammering a nail into a piece of wood?

What is this for the Lynn University kids, Dilettante Philanthropy 101?

How much did it cost Mums and Daddums to send their earnest college kids to "help" in Haiti for five breathtaking days (vacation included, since the kids who did survive did so because they weren't in their rooms but were lounging at the hotel's POOL!)

Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense to just SEND a charitable organization the money they wasted on their Haitian adventure? They know what to do with it much better than drive-by collegians looking to tell everyone about their adventure among the po' folk in exotic locales!

If these kids were that devoted, why didn't they take a train to Newark, NJ or Detroit, MI? there are lots of poor black babies in those cities, and a host of others, right HERE who could've used the help (or at the least, it would've been cheaper and the Lynn collegians would be alive.)

That being said...Obama is a monster to not help the well meaning but dimwitted parents get their kids OUT. The surviving kids knew where the rooms were where the missing Lynn kids were staying, at the back left of the hotel. The parents had gotten together a rescue team, as did Lynn University, to go to the Hotel Montana and work on getting the kids out. They were NOT allowed into the country, which is beyond bizarre. i mean, what would they do? Kill somebody?? Why not let them TRY? It wasn't on Obama's dime (i.e., our dime), or the Haitians' dime (i.e., our dime.)

Haiti was and is a soup sandwich. A complete and total insoluble disaster. The well meaning but hopeless naive parents risked their kids' lives by sending them to one of the worst third world hellholes on earth for a five day "feel good about yourself" trip.

All you can do is hope that other parents with too much awe of their kids' "brilliance" and way too much money on their hands will think twice before they give their kids the money to slum and play philanthropist for five days during college break!

What a freaking WASTE all around.

lizzie’s a lightweight. that’s why most of the time El Roho is able to twist her sideways.

And Rosie’s a complete tinhat kook.

She’d be easy to knock out, and this could’ve been done with dispatch a long time ago - cept that lizzie’s a lightweight.

No offense to her, btw. It’s just that Baba wouldn’t hire any conservative female who WASN’T a lightweight.

What’s funny is that Ruh-Ro is such a loudmouth bully, that she’s constantly got Lame-o Liz on the verge of tears, but the ONE TIME Elisabeth gets the cajones to even moderately fight back (and that girl is still a lightweight at best), why, Big Bad Lesbo is blubbering (so to speak) cause Liz was mean to her!

You gotta laugh, cept for one thing; i really do think Rozzie is nuts, i mean, really like ‘elephant gun in the mouth’ nuts.

Sooner or later, this freak is gonna off herself (wishful thinking.)

And how would YOU know that for CERTAIN? Is this ROP Watch? Or are you just a dabbler?

Ya think? roflol!

No, actually I just thought you were looking in your family album.

LGive it a rest. haven’t you had enough? Save your chauvinistic personal insults for the real enemy.

Oh Gawd. "Chauvinistic"? I'm a woman, you moron. And you're precisely why wimmin aren't taken seriously.

Like this?

Yesh, I know. He's just shaving.

Btw, go back and LOOK at what I posted. I don't assert ANYTHING for CERTAIN. My position is that I don't KNOW.

The only thing I'm absolutely certain of is that you don't have two brain cells to rub together. Oh, and that you repeating you're CERTAIN doesn't make it TRUE (apparently a concept you're still having difficulty with.)

Yes, but you must be used to it. Everyone who has bothered with you has ripped your idiocies to pieces.

I guess that's why you empathize so much with the shooter. All you antisocial psycho outcasts are all alike (cept he could SPELL, and you still can't.)

Oh, "facts" like THIS?

The return address was A ISMAIL. What was written on his arm was ISMAIL AX.

Give it up. You're a maroon.

When more facts come out, and they will, the reference is probably going to mean something nobody here has even thought of. :-)

Why don't you just cut to the chase and TELL us? You sure seem to know an awful lot about this for someone who wasn't there.

Your conclusions are as much leaps of faith as anyone else's.

You are absolutely correct.

I've no idea which part of all this is true, and which isn't. All I know is that when folks like nopardon go to such lengths to debunk what they cannot rationally disprove, it just makes me all the more curious why there's such a rush to discount what we simply do not know yet for certain.

LOL! You really didn't film Cho?

As for being "snarky," nothing could help you!

No contest there in the brains dept. ;)

Of course. After all, YOU post.

How's this work for you?

Oh, yeah, there's NO Islamic connection! And you know this how? Did you film this guy? No? Then you have NO IDEA what NBC cut out of this video and what they didn't!
