[nadinbrzezinski]

and why blogging may be important, as well as some choice calls. Yes crosposted from GD since this is an important issue

ok, ok I don't know how many of you have caught the conversations on how you hide casualties. Today I was watching CNN and apparently trick number two will not be used....

Per CNN they will actually link all deaths at the storm to the storm regardless of cause of death.

Now they were not going to do it, and the fact they went public means that we may have very well made a difference by basically blogging about it.

I know this is not something many of you pay that close attention, but I am... others do pay way too much attention (guilty as charged) but I think the media in has prevented some of the old tricks, as well as media awaremenss...

1. The numbers will come out. This is not 9/11 where agencies under

the secrets act are being investigated. These are public numbers. Bush WH cannot hide them.

Relax.

2. I'll leave you with this

behind every great reporter are people feeding information... chew on this

3. Relax. You know you want it...stay at your desks...only a shower...FEMA

will be there soon.

You are sitting on my last nerve.

Until and unless there are civiliians following the body recovery teams, following the semis and watching the morgue we really cannot let them be. They let people drown and die. Hiding bodies is nothing.

4. Not a big topic today. People more worried about the living and

the ones who could be saved and were not.

RW talking points want ghouls.

5. and we want the truth

if the truth translates to ghouls and the race war mister Limbaugh wants and desirse... well so be it
