Don't Haiti The Player

I am thinking that Jamaica advertising on CNN during the Haitian earthquake aftermath is either pure folly, or pure genius. Either way, they seem to be running a lot of commercials. I think that the Jamaicans are advertising to get vacationers who are afraid to go to the Dominican Republic. I feel really bad for the people of Haiti, but other than donating to the Red Cross I’m really not sure what to do. I could take on a Haitian housekeeper while I’m down here in Florida, but I’ll probably have to send her back when I head back up north after winter is over. I would like it if she had some good conch recipes (especially fritters) and I can promise her a safe dwelling (built in the 60s) that has withstood many tropical storms. Janet is not going to let me have a Haitian housekeeper up north even if she’s not attractive. Ultimately, there is no good outcome for my Haitian housekeeper, just as I fear that ultimately, there is no good outcome for the good people of Haiti. Especially after Anderson Cooper leaves the country, and our attention is drawn elsewhere.
