1. What is the point of

keeping the fatalities secret.
Is it just an extension of business as usual or something deeper?

2. Neil "I'm a fucktard" Cavuto said, "A rough day that turned out okay."

on Monday. Thousands possibly dead? Bah! My shares of Exxon and Chevron were up 3% so I don't care.
What an asshole.

3. And they'll be thousands more after you stop rescue operations

That's why it's so important for the press to keep calling them "looters"--the "good" poor residents went straight to the Superdome and are now on their way to Houston!
