Baton Rouge population expected to DOUBLE by Monday

Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the flooding -- 250,000 have been absorbed by Texas alone, and local radio reported that Baton Rouge will have doubled in population by Monday. Federal officials said they have begun to collect corpses but could not guess the total toll.

The U.S. took a big hit. Probaly many more than W hit us in Iraq. Again, he shows the dead no honor.
