One country’s human devastation is another country’s economic boon. And Larry Kudlow isn’t reluctant to say so (emphasis in the quote within the quote is Booman’s; emphasis in Booman’s ending commentary is mine):

This is Michelle Malkin writing on her website; I am going to quote it in full:

Philippa Thomas is a reporter for BBC:

After my first initial reaction of pure horror, this was one of my first thoughts after hearing about the earthquake in Japan:

Raw footage — photographs and video — of the tsunami and its aftermath, and an extensive list of online resources for those who want to follow earthquake-related news and information.

Rep. Peter King’s congressional investigation into “[t]he extent of radicalization in the American Muslim community and that community’s response” began today with an opening statement by Rep. Keith Ellison (D=MN) the first Muslim American to serve in Congress. His statement speaks for itself.
