Conan did give us Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and for that I'll always be grateful. Triumph is an American treasure.

Haiti is the one that fell through the cracks that I just couldn't understand. Their neighbors are fine.

Just a few facts about Haiti from the CIA World Factbook
quote:
Population:
10,646,714
quote:
Electricity access:
population without electricity: 7,400,000
quote:
Major infectious diseases:
degree of risk: very high
food or waterborne diseases: bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A and E, and typhoid fever
vectorborne diseases: dengue fever and malaria
quote:
Currently the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with close to 60% of the population living under the national poverty line, Haiti’s GDP growth rose to 5.5% in 2011 as the Haitian economy began recovering from the devastating January 2010 earthquake that destroyed much of its capital city, Port-au-Prince, and neighboring areas. However, growth slowed to below 2% in 2015 and 2016 as political uncertainty, drought conditions, decreasing foreign aid, and the depreciation of the national currency took a toll on investment and economic growth.

Looks like Conan did get out to mingle with the locals.

There's a video on youtube where they are literally making mud cookies.

It was beautiful all the way until the 1950's or so.

They've probably been fricked over more than any other country in the Western hemisphere. I don't like to play the racial games stuff, but if you don't know much about Haiti's history, take a look into it. It is not pretty what the powers of the day have done to them (including us, multiple times).

I’m sure the Clinton Foundation will fix everything.

A typical misunderstanding of the left is that getting a degree is the same thing as having knowledge, wisdom, or sense.
