I'm aware of Hurricane Ike death toll coverup allegations floating around the Net, but they are mostly on crazy conspiracy sites right now, but hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Nevertheless, something strange does seem to be going on right now.Let me say right now that I would put virtually nothing beyond this diabolical Administration, the utterly depraved and wicked political party, and the Stepford Wives followers. Seriously, Bush could do just about anything (and he pretty much has) and the dittoheads just jump right in line and defend it or ignore it.Same thing they were bashing Dems for the other day?

Deny, project, get angry, end conversation, divert to something irrelevant and begin logical fallacies [insert].I don't know who is s...
