Cooking the Katrina Body Count

Try as I did last night, I could not get this one posted, but Mr. Natural at Left Edge North apparently abuses Blogger less than I do, meaning: he posted here.

Basically, one of Bush's cronies is now in charge of keeping official count of Katrina deaths. Guess who has such a vested interest in keeping the number of dead beneath certain levels (I mean, you don't want 3,000 because it takes emphasis from 9/11).

This is like a really black comedy except for all those poor creatures and people dead.

But Mr. Natural also points us to this Flash animation on Katrina and The Onion's Halliburton Gets Contract to Pry Gold Fillings from Mouths of Katrina Victims.
