Laughing at the End of Times

Q: What's Bush's opinion of Roe v. Wade?
A: Bush doesn't care how people got out of New Orleans.

Yes, there are some particularly awful stories coming of the NOLA right now, the death toll keeps rising even though it will likely not come anywhere near close to the estimates. But the effort is still incredibly hard, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to enter a nursing home to find 34 dead bodies.

And it will get worse before it gets better. I've been reading some theories that the levees were allowed to break so that the crappier parts of New Orleans could be bulldozed and rebuilt. I'm skeptical of someone being that disgusting that they'd kill a great number of people for development profits, but I'm cynical enough to believe that there were people who were not displeased in the least that the levees breached.
