I heard that on the Best of Rhandi show that was on today and I was shocked. I tried to Google it, but the most recent articles I found were from November. That is about twice the number of people who died from 9/11 and the country is just ignoring it? How can that be? This really freaked me out.

3. move along, nothing to see here.
The "out of sight, out of mind" way of dealing in Washington really is frightening particularly when dealing with human beings.

4. I read in the paper a few days ago
that they just found the body of the lead singer of the Cowsills (60s group who Partridge Family was based on) who apparently died during Katrina. Cannot remember his name.

6. warning- EXTREME sarcasm alert
6,600? No, silly, they are just poor black folk. And as we all know, pasty white men count blacks as only 1/5 of a person.

So, in Republican Reality, there are only 1,320 people missing. Far less than the large and tragic number of white dead on 9/11

nothing to be worried about

/sarcasm off

8. I keep hearing this and I keep waiting for any media to bring
this up. But Katrina is old news in Bushworld. After all, he visited 5 times.

12. Yeah, the miner's deaths were tragic, but there wereTWELVE of them
This is just so surreal to me. I am going to write every network I can think of to tell them that it is CRIMINAL that they are not covering this. I know that none of my immediate 'real life' friends knew about this either and we SHOULD.

17. Yes, and apparently they are just going to bulldoze houses, bodies and all

to build the new yuppie New Orleans. I heard there are more than 2,000 kids still missing.
