Just some quick thoughts for this evening.
Please keep the people in Haiti in your thoughts tonight. Reports indicate that a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck just outside of the nations capital. As you know, the country has been suffering for years due to a poor economy, high unemployment, and needing constant international aid. I haven’t heard any reports on injuries and deaths, but you can imagine the numbers are high. After all, the quake that created so much damage in California in 1989 was also a 7.0 Mag and killed over 60 people. When you consider that California code requires earthquake-resistant construction, that 60+ death figure could have been much higher … which I fear for Haiti. I’m certain that the Red Cross will have a special donation link on their website soon if you wish to donate.
On a semi-lighter note, I decided to tune in to the O’Reilly Factor on FOX News to see how Sarah Palin did on her first night as a political commentator. She spoke in a manner as if she was still campaigning rather than discussing issues, but since much of the questions were about her, it made sense. I don’t think I learned a lot from her 10 minutes on the program, but she didn’t do too bad on her first night. If anyone else saw it, let me know what you thought. I’m still standing by my thought that she’s going to settle in at the network and not run for office in 2012.

I'm not sure. Resigning as Governor of Alaska, publishing an autobiography… it all seems like careful steps toward building a presidential campaign. I must admit, I, too, am rather puzzled by her decision to join the very “mainstream” media she always complained about, but don't write her off just yet, I say.
