Liars have to have good memories.

No wonder the Republicans chose the elephant.

LOL! Do they not have access to Lexis Nexis?

I believe it was Ann Coulter who once pointed out that democrats and the MSM assume that conservatives don't have access to Lexis Nexus. (How is that spelled, anyway?)

[dennisw]

The NYTimes was always liberal but it actually was well balanced 20-30 years ago. Now the news articles have that annoying leftist slant. I stopped reading it years ago. The Washington Post is a much better liberal rag

(P.S. - I know it was 'officially' a Cat 4, but I'll bet a gallon of gas that it will eventually be reviewed and upgraded -- maybe in a few years).

It was a Cat 5, but storms always slow down when they hit land, and Katrina started hitting land a full day before the eye passed over. It's a matter of interpretation, but it was a Cat 4 when the eye made landfall.

It wasn't wind, however, that did in NOLA.

BTTT

[benjibrowder]

very few people actually do. Lexis-Nexis is like, incredibly expensive, isn't it?

[alancarp]

Reason for that declaration: the central pressure at landfall was lower than Andrew's, which was upgraded after-the-fact. Both that and the damage profile fit a '5' storm... It's very difficult to capture the sustained wind speeds. But that's simply a side issue ennyhow.

Of course NY times is being consistent: Protecting folks in americas heartland from flooding in 1993 and 1997 was a waste of money but it is not a awast of money for Jesse jacksons proletariat

So the NY Times editorial board voted against flood control before they voted for it...

[eyespysomething]

The New York Times I'm sure has access. At least to their own archives.

[moog]

This is a funny title.

[American in Israel]

Everybody at the Times seems to be a politically motivated huckster. They should have learned journalism.

Why? Journalism went out of fashion a long time ago, you want a job, you train for the job market.

Brit Hume just mentioned this on Fox News!

[foofoopowder]

It was highlighted on Fox news tonight. They quoted Pravda (I mean the NY Times) opposing spending for flood control.

Hey Pinch, we're not reading your newspaper, we're monitoring it.

[Toadman]

ping!

[OESY]

Typical for the Times: They have no decency, no principles and no integrity.

[moose2004]

Gail Collins, editorial page editor for the NYT, is a radical left-wing extremist Bush hater second to none. DO NOT TAKE HER OPINIONS SERIOUSLY.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Classic!
