Disappointed in Dean
August 20, 2007
For days the media have screamed about the “Hellstorm Dean,” the “Killer Hurricane” bearing down on Jamaica, and sure to wreack havoc and mass death, film at 11 (actually, film continuously).

Of course, politicians love hurricanes too. In Jamaica they were busy suspending elections, declaring states of emergency, and warning against free-market prices
