So sit back and listen to Charles Mingus and his "Haitian Fight Song." Then go out and donate to the cause. It is the least you can do.

Think of Haiti
I had just heard an old friend on WWOZ play the Charles Mingus tune "Haitian Fight Song." Then I watched the news showing more of the destruction, the problems with the recovery (New Orleanians understand that issue), and the utter human suffering--it makes me wanna holler. I read that the IMF ("International Mother F---ers" Fela called them in a concert I saw him perform in New Orleans) gave Haiti a shady loan to "help," but due to watchdog outcry niced up the terms. Although things seem impossible there, we can make a difference.
