It may be a play on words - the response was BARE .. or missing.

Well .. where is the Admin MOD - we are supposed to use the original title ONLY and then a statement can be made in parenthesis (to explain what the article is about).

Also .. it's forbidden to have a link that does not work!

These liberals have spent years calling Bush a moron, a dunce, etc. .. if that's true .. then how could he be responsible for EVERYTHING THAT GOES WRONG IN AMERICA.

No doubt, the federal response to this crisis was far from flawless, but at the end of the day, it was federal troops that restored order, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that plugged breaches in the levees, and federal forces that ultimately evacuated thousands of those trapped. Instead of blaming federal authorities, the country ought to be giving thanks.

Two out of three ain't bad. It was National Guard that facilitated erstoration of order. The only activity federal troops participated in was search, rescue, evacuation, and delivery of supplies.

Hi Newbie. Allow me to recommend that instead of using the Post Chronicle as your source, use Townhall.com. They have all the best conservative columnists, but they don't make up their own titles for the columns like the Post Chronicle apparently does. Furthermore, if they DID make up their own titles, at least they would be smart enough over at Townhall to know the difference between "bare" and "bear". The actual title for this column was "The trouble at the local level" and the column is available here.

Welcome to FR. I hope you enjoy your stay, and I hope you will check out Townhall.com

The link goes to the Post Chronicle, where they used the title that the poster used. I was going to chastize the newbie for making up a title and using "bare" rather than "bear", but when I went to the source I found that it was the idiots at Post Chronicle that made up the title (misspelling and all).

I wonder if we'll see a correction anytime soon?

Linda Chavez' original column is at Townhall with a different title altogether, See my post #11

This thread needs music.

Frankly, I think THIS ONE is purty appropriate!

As of 3:45 PM EDT it hasn't been corrected.

I am willing to cut the Post-Chronicle some slack, though.
They haven't messed up nearly as bad as the New York Times did on August 23, 2003:

Fellow Freepers:

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in Lubbock and Austin tonight. My wife was down at Reunion Arena in Dallas yesterday handing out care packages and spiritually ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer. She says that the situation is tragic and that there's a lot of work to be done. There are so many children who don't know where their parents are or even if their parents are still alive.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would appreciate it if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough
