“When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”–actor Danny Glover on why the earthquake in Haiti occurred

“They were under the heel of the French, you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said ‘We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.’ True story. And so the devil said, ‘Ok it’s a deal.’ And they kicked the French out. The Haitians revolted and got something themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another.”–Christian Evangelist Pat Robertson on why the earthquake in Haiti occurred

Wow. Who knew an earthquake in Haiti could produce such monumental callousness and stupidity so far away from its epicenter? Who knew this disaster could have been easily prevented by a Third World shakedown in Copenhagen–or a contractual re-negotiation with Satan?

Perhaps Forrest Gump said it best: “stupid is as stupid does.”
