Like millions of people around the world I've been shocked by the terrible events in Haiti.

Only now is the true scale of the disaster emerging. Reports now suggest as many as 50,000 people may have died, with hundreds of thousands made homeless.

The work ahead to recover from this tragedy is immense. So here's our goal: $890 million for Haiti. That's how much Haiti owes to the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, and a handful of others.

Sign the petition below to ask Haiti's creditors to act quickly and cancel Haiti's debts:

As Haiti begins to rebuild we can help by lifting this debt.

Together as ONE we can make a difference!

Thanks!

Two Texas buddies, Ralph and Rob, are getting very drunk at a bar when suddenly Rob throws up all over himself. "Oh, no. Now Jane will kill me!"
Ralph says, "Don't worry, pal, Just tuck a twenty in your breast pocket, tell Jane that someone threw up on you and gave you $20 for the dry cleaning bill." So they stay for another couple of hours and got even drunker.
Eventually Rob rolls home, and his wife Jane starts to give him a bad time. "You reek of alcohol, and you've puked all over yourself! My God, you're disgusting!"
Speaking very carefully so as not to slur, Rob says, "Now wainaminit, I can e'splain everything! Itsh not what you think.. I only had a couple drinks. But this other guy got sick on me ... he'd had one too many and he just couldn't hold his liquor. He said he was very sorry an' gave me $20 for the cleaning bill!"
Jane looks in the breast pocket and says, "But this is $40."
"Oh, yeah. I almos' forgot, he craped in my pants, too."

Comment by Aggie on January 14, 2010 at 10:50pm: The Power Of A Badge
This is an old one I'm sure you've all seen, but I laugh every time I see it & decided to share it with you so maybe you'll have a chuckle out of it too.

A DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says, "Okay, but do not go in that field over there," as he points out the location.

The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me." Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish....on any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?" The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......with every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs.....

"Your badge. Show him your BADGE!!!"
