In this case, the douchebag troll would be a certain journalist with a penchant for snarkiness.

But I digress.

eldondre is right. Aid has a tendency to get misdirected by corrupt governments. It is no secret that so much aid to Africa gets misdirected.

In this case, I think aid to non-governmental groups, like the Red Cross, will help best. I'm having a hard time, however, finding an actual donation link on their website so I guess I'll have to call it in.

Red Cross Pledges Initial $1 Million to Haiti Relief

The way I see it, I don't need to donate any of my money. Obama has decided to give millions of my (tax) money to Haiti without my consent. No need for me (or anyone) to give any more.

No one answered my question: When Italy had their earthquake not long ago, Obama was only able to give a paltry 50K (not even enough to buy a house.) Why does Haiti get so much more? Anyone know?
