Several reports I've heard say they won't even find everyone that is missing because victims are buried under so much debris. or washed away. That number is likely not "thousands", of course, but this may be why they are reluctant to say much until they are able to reconcile the difference between the number of "missing" versus "found".

I've never said that MS won't have a death toll in thousands. I did express strong doubts about the reliability or a report of thousands dead so very quickly after the storm. And my doubts may (or may not) have been misplaced.

At any rate, I expect neither to receive or to give apologies and never have seen much point in such things. I still think MS deserves a lot more attention and that the media is very silent and the federal effort may be even more lacking there than it is in NOLA.

Don't lose those tweezers, Bush. You might need them to pull the splinters out if you ever get off the fence.

(Or did you not notice your responses tend to cover both bases ambiguously, like, "I said X I didn't say Y, I never meant A but I meant B, maybe C, maybe not D".)

Maybe you should consider changing your name to Mayor Nagin! Or maybe not! :)

At any rate, I expect neither to receive or to give apologies and never have seen much point in such things.

Color me shocked!

First, that in your wildest imagination you would even entertain the misguided notion you might merit any manner of apology by anyone on this thread. And second, that you would dismiss your debt to make apologies with such easy hauteur.

The "point" is probably something you will never understand...suffice to say it is a contributer to why My Favorite Headache will continue to enjoy credibility on this forum while you will treated with contempt.
