"But you know what? Next time there’s an earthquake in Russia or Georgia, I’m probably going to wait at least until they’re finished pulling the bodies of dead children out of the rubble before I start writing articles blasting a foreign people for being corrupt, lazy drunks with an unsatisfactorily pervasive achievement culture whose child-rearing responsibilities might have to be yanked from them by with-it Whitey for their own good."

Matt Taibbi is real good. Molly Ivens squared.This article may contain language you find offensive...but it's a good one.

What a horrendous reminder of the strength of Mother Nature.
