| #16 347 so far, compared to over 6,000 at Galveston in 1900. Apparently global warming and George Bush were bigger problems in 1900. |

| #15 The reported 10K death toll figure was always speculation. Not based on official estimates but mostly on NO Mayor Nagin's predictions. Rather then admit their rush to sensationalism, the WaPo, CNN, etc. is attempting to save credibility by framing this as a "glimmer of hope" story. Even when the MSM is exposed for creating news instead of reporting it they try to divert attention away. The next spin is already how the Bush Administration is blocking the Free Press from ghoulishly filming the body recovery. |

| #7 First-I don't intend any disrespect or lack of empathy for any of the victims. God give them comfort. The following thought occurred to me... Wouldn't it be ironic if more people died in areas of extreme eastern LA and southwestern MS than in New Orleans? The racial implications of that come from a completely different angle, don't they? I don't believe I have ever seen an MSM anchor button his lip, but this might do it. The current ratio is about 300 outside New Orleans to 100 inside New Orleans. Just curious... |

| #5 Lol - very good! And, given the last Jackson interview I saw, an infuriating mind-numbing pointless exchange which simply stupefied me, I'd wager they're flirting with such fantastical fantasies already, at least within the professional racist "community"... |

#4 Any time now, I'm looking for some prominant "black leader" to come out with a great tale, like: "Legions of alligators, (*) with apologies to Vachel Lindsay |

| #3 Well, if you can vote multiple times in LA, you can surely die multiple times - it only takes a little bureaucratic sleight of hand - child's play in a place as corrupt as NO. Bad's certainly right: once a meme is established, due to the aid of the MSM, it's there to stay and will be repeated ad nauseum. I figure: 1) about 25% will swear by it - just as they do that 9/11 was a hoax or a Jewish plot or a Neocon plot or IllumiNazi plot or... [insert anything you like here, anything at all - someone will believe it, or see profit in peddling it] 2) about 25% will say it's false, but accurate, somehow, though they won't be able to explain how 3) about 25% will wonder (given all the conflicting numbers) and nod politely since they don't feel like arguing with demented raving moonbats 4) and about 25% will sigh deeply, shake their heads, and keep slogging thru the lies. |

| #2 Badanov - What's going to happen is this: people like the Reverend Jackson and Rep. Pelosi will say, "Oh, the 1K (or whatever) is the official figure, but when you take into account the people who died from Bushitler's incompetence, the total is at LEAST 10K..." And sadly, many people will believe it. Mike |

| #1 But now the Internet seach engines have the 10,000 number embedded in their dbs. Whatta a buncha wankers. Hopefully by 2006, the word will get out that the 10,000 number was an egregious lie. |
