Wouldn't they "Bear" the responsibility?
They're getting naked? Say it ain't so!
You would think that a newspaper could employ someone who knew the difference between "bare" and "bear".
You might be wrong.
Bare?
State and Local Officials GONE WILD!
SHOW US YOUR CHAOS!
No you're homophones!
Did someone give them beads?
"Louisiana State And Local Officials Bare The Responsibility For Chaos"
Perhaps it should have read:
"Lack of Responsibility on part of some Louisiana State And Local Officials Laid Bare Amid the Chaos"
Here it is:

The real title is: "Trouble at the local level"
The BIG LIE just keep rolling along.
Journalism school must be a lot like public school.

"Kathleen Blanco held a press briefing in which she answered a question about what could be done to avert disaster: "We can pray very hard that the intensity will weaken...""
Well, prayer is good, but executing an evacuation plan would be a good supplement.
"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."
Says it all.
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.
Welcome to FR. I hope you enjoy your stay, and I hope you will check out Townhall.com
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,
