Typical article from the BBC News:

It was announced at a news conference by the Mayor Ray Nagin on Sunday
28 August, less than 24 hours before the hurricane struck early the
next morning.

The question has to be asked: Why was it not ordered earlier?

The Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said at the same news
conference that President Bush had called and personally appealed for
a mandatory evacuation.

The night before, National Hurricane Director Max Mayfield had called
Mayor Nagin to tell him that an evacuation was needed. Why were these
calls necessary?

Whoa.  Of course I have an agenda.  Everybody has an
agenda.  My comment about Shemp's agenda was that he
posts material from right-wing sources because he has
a right-wing agenda.  You appeared to be suggesting he
didn't know FrontPage was a right-wing source.

I'm honestly not sure what your beef is with me here.

If any of the articles I've put up have been dishonest,
I would like to know about it.  I don't want to promote
misinformation.

However, most of what I've posted has been from the
mainstream media, not from fringe left-wing sources.

Not that being mainstream guarantees accuracy, of
course, but in general the mainstream media avoid the
kind of excesses, in either direction, that FrontPage
wallows in.  The fringe left can be guilty of similar
excesses, which is why I don't rely on those sources.

If you want to explain further how I've managed to
piss you off, I'm willing to listen.  But at this
point I'm afraid I don't quite get it.

And the ones you put up here are "believably honest", Judy?

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, to me.

And, yes, I'm sure you'll now try to engage me in a point-by-
point "proof" of how absolutely right every word you've ever
put on the board is.  You and I both know how pointless that
discussion would be, but for some reason you seem determined
to engage perpetually.

You have as much of an agenda as anyone, Judy.  Admitting that
would be "believable honesty".

Sure he does.  That's why he reads it.
That's *his* political agenda.

Unbelievably dishonest article, but entirely
typical of FrontPage.
