Just heard on MSNBC....the mayor of Orleans said there were hundreds of deaths in New Orleans...maybe thousands.

Just New Orleans....

..so I think this affirms MyFavorite Headache, ....sadly.

I get a bit of the Cassandra thing on this forum and elsewhere. I generally win at poker not because I play all the time but because I have a head for numbers and keep my cool. In this case, it is easy to see that the numbers are going to be in the high thousands to low tens of thousands, and I said that much earlier in the thread.

I also take the position that we don't have a "free press" in this country, and that disaster management has a lot to do with managing information the public is to be allowed to know. On top of that, I delight in the humiliation of our information gatekeepers. I loved reading the Dan Rather threads here, and I was disgusted at the so-called conservatives that pooh-poohed the chances of taking him down.
