My God: they are estimating the death toll at (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34928950/ns/world_news-haiti_earthquake/) 200,000.

In other news, Rush Limbaugh has taken being a fat stupid fuck to levels modern science had no idea existed. Google for his comments about the White House's Haitian relief effort.

On the other hand, George W. Bush has stepped up to help with nothing but class.

Hmmm, I'm in two minds about this.

Last time I was guilt-tripped into donating money after a natural disaster, rumour has it that it didn't exactly get used as I had imagined.

I'm looking at you, (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/srilankatsunamieconomygraft5years;_ylt=AlyP7bdTRBqJyk8B_.Q9MlN0fNdF) Sri Lanka.

If you like Rush's fantastically horrible comments check out Pat Robertson's, holy shit.

It's pretty hilarious how he so casually talks about the Haitians selling their souls to the devil, and then punctuates it with "true story." :laff:

That's why giving to highly rated relief organisations such as the Red Cross comes with less risk than sending those funds to a potentially corrupt government.

[edit]I am morbidly curious what Fred Phelphs and his followers are saying on this, but for some reason, the WBC website doesn't load for me. Divine involvement?[/edit]

I'm surprised he hasn't registered godhateshaiti.com yet.

As to his main website, it seems to be down for me, too- DOS attack? DNS server shitting the bed? God hates Fred Phelps?

No wait, it works now, sorta. God I hate looking at this site, it's so professionally designed and yet the little GOD HATES YOU signs really make the site. :|

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand (http://www.godhatesfags.com/written/fliers/20100113_Haitian-Earthquake-Jan-12.pdf) here's the Haiti flier. Bit light on the vitriol compared to some of the others I've seen.
