Instapundit linked up this "de-urban-legend-ization" (hey, one of the advantages of English is its flexibility) of hurricane Katrina. Might provide a counterpoint to the more vapid watercooler assertions you encounter. Then again, considering the intelligence of those who believe such idle chatter, maybe not.
Well, if Fark is any guide to that, probably not. In fact, I seem to remember a gentleman posting something to the effect that nothing could be done to convince a 'bushco supporter' that he's ever made a mistake. When I turned the arguement around to say that nothing that I can say could convince him that Bush hadn't, he got all miffed. After another civil response from me, he disappeared. I seem to have that affect on folks...
Hell, I even saw people pointing out that this is nothing but a media cover-up engineered by Bush to protect his ass.
