James Wolcott, a man who once openly confessed to rooting for hurricanes,

now seems pleased with

the Katrina death toll, as it suits his political agenda. Opines he:

“For Hurricane Katrina has broken the post 9/11 spell that held

everyone in thrall to terrorism and terrorism alone as the paramount

menace on the horizon…[snip] Whatever the final numbers are from

Hurricane Katrina, it will be harder for the WOT propagandists to

ritualistically invoke the “3000 dead” to the same sonorous effect.”

Wow, if only a comet would hit! Millions would die and then those

idiots at The Corner would really look silly! James should spend more

in time in search of another “divine truffle omelette appetizer.”
