So, the guy on the cruise is 'sickened' by the thought of biting into a big ol' hamburger, or having a cocktail, when anchored next to disaster stricken Haiti.

So... how far away does the ship have to sail, before he can enjoy the burger and drink?

Meanwhile, the massive cluster of aid sits at the airport, as the various relief factions 'assess the situation' and bicker over 'the right way to administer relief.'

early on, some group with a helicopter flew low -very low- and dropped bottles of water, and supplies at intervals. Other relief workers pointedly said how that was bad form. ...what; because they were effective first?
