From missionary Ed, via reader DeLynn, some remarks from the children around him, in Petit Goave, which is away from Port au Prince, and has also been reduced to rubble: Mon 8:34 AM The weather is quite pleasant though the atmosphere remains very tense and on edge. We’re going to start bringing more families in out at the school. Still no sign here in Petit Goave, of all the aid coming in. The tremors continue. LOTS of good outdoor church... Read more
Another report -with pictures – from Ed, the missionary who is in Haiti, sharing in the suffering (thanks to his friend DeLynn, who passes it on to us…). Offered without comment: Saturday 11:56 AM Back on line. I can’t believe it’s Saturday. This has all been one long day. We are getting more news now as the phone lines are opening up, some good news, some bad news. Some folks are still alive, some are not. Daphne just found out... Read more
Lumping the wrong things together as evil blurs the lines between right and wrong and leads to chaos. — G. K. Chesterton As I mentioned here, I am against a hard deadline, and my obsession, since Tuesday, with Haiti (there is no word, today, from Ed) has really put me up against a wall.

Upon this also depends whether he will paint a sad picture or merely jump over London Bridge. — G.K. Chesterton I got a sweet email last week from one of the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, wondering if, in honor of Vocation Awareness Week, I could give a... Read more

Immediately below is Ed’s note for today, which I will keep on top, in italics. For the latest updates throughout the day, scroll below the italics. Please keep all of these people, and these trying to help them, and to bring medical care and relief, in... Read more
Source Go here for my latest updates on Haiti Updated from last night: The horror Difficulty in Mobilizing. Yes, it’s difficult; many roadblocks. The stunned peace begins to break down. Blogs for Victory notes: Looks like Haiti will become a de-facto American protectorate over the next few days as Haiti’s government is essentially collapsed and non-functional. If we’re going to do it, might as well be in for a dime, in for a dollar…get a UN resolution putting Haiti into... Read more

I’m sorry, I’m just in no mood for foolishness today, and it’s made me a tad less diplomatic than I like to try to be. But I must direct your attention to two stupid, nasty women. And, perhaps, one deluded man. No, two deluded men! Martha Coakley: Evidence of Stupid: Coakley bristles at the suggestion that, with so little time left, in an election with such high stakes, she is being too passive. “As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park?...

:::This post will be continuously updated throughout the day, (Instapundit-style, bottom to top), so please check back!::: More rolling updates on Haiti here and here They are still having tremors: From reader DeLynn’s missionary friend’s facebook: 3:24 PM It’s a nightmare here. They are starting to dig mass graves for the many unclaimed bodies. Some areas,the smell is unbearable. We still are having tremors. Just now in fact. I feel that these little snippets I’m writing don’t begin to convey... Read more
