There Won’t Be Hollywood Telethons and Concerts for Chile

An earthquake even more powerful than the one that hit Haiti struck in Chile. As the death toll continues to climb and damage estimates soaring into figures that will dwarf the value of the entire Haitian island, will Hollywood band together to put on a telethon like they did for Haiti? Will Sting sing for the homeless Chileans?

No, they won’t. I think it might be because the sight of masses of homeless white people doesn’t tug at the heartstrings of our liberal elites like masses of homeless black Haitians do.

Will the Chileans be able to make a comeback from this devastating disaster? How can they rebuild without the millions raised by U2’s music and a ribbon on the lapels of our brightest stars at the Oscars next week? Oh, they will survive. And those Haitians with all of the millions in donations? They will somehow end up with a slightly larger shack than the one they had before their earthquake. If they are lucky.
