Sara Palin in Haiti?

I don't know about anyone else, but I feel like there is something fishy going on in Haiti. Is it all a political scam?

From the media hype that went about when the Haiti Earthquake first broke out, how much of that promised money made its way to Haiti? Not only half. The countries that promised to send money bailed, and unfortunately, the United States must wear that cap of shame as well.

But today, we see renewed government activity in Haiti. Sara Palin making her way for a humanitarian mission to Haiti. Yet she couldn't have picked a more chaotic time.

She stepped in, attempting to show her concern for the Haiti children and the situation, but everything she does has such a minute affect - a drop in an ocean of water. Not only is the cholera break out [which killed 2,000 people and affected 90,000 more] but also the government elections are extremely tainted. The riots and political turmoil, exacerbated with the economic and social disorder, makes political order very difficult.

And among all this Sara Palin tries to create a humanitarian facade. Maybe she is trying to help these people, but whatever she does is not having a profound affect. And that is not Sara Palin's fault. Nothing she individually does can dramatically change Haiti's situation. Nothing any one person does will make a difference. Haiti is the perfect example where one person CANNOT make a difference. It is only in the masses, we need the get the entire government, everyone, riled up for Haiti. And right now, where the media hype has died, nothing will get done. The people in Haiti will suffer unknown, unwatched, uncared for from the rest of the world.

Bipolar Weather?

Is it summer? Is it winter? Are we in fall? Winter shopping becomes a summer manifest. Christmas shopping becomes a trip to the beach. What is up with this weather?

Never before has the thermometer been so unpredictable. One day a sizzling 80 degrees, the next down to 60. There is no prediction, no reliability. The forecast doesn't come until the week of the day.

Last week, it seemed like an actual winter with chilly air biting at a lovely Christmas temperature of 50 degrees. However, then comes the weekend and expected temperatures rise of 80 degrees setting the records of mid-December temperatures in Southern California.

Burbank felt a consistent 10 days of warm temperatures before diving into 12 days of abnormally cold weather, including two days of all time lows in the 35 degrees which came three weeks after Los Angeles set a record of 97 degrees on November 3rd.

In the end, us Californians just live not knowing which season to expect each week. Some say its a type of adventure and mystery, others yearn for the typical seasons. Either way, I suppose we get both warm and cold in one month. At least we don't have to wait long to receive the next extreme weather type. Here, we just keep flipping every two weeks.
