Just two questions about the Times Picayune: Have their reporters and editors ever been on the streets of New Orleans with their eyes open? If so, they might have noticed that NEW ORLEANS USES MORE BUSES FOR TRANSPORT OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS (proportionally) THAN ANY OTHER MAJOR AMERICAN CITY.

Okay, hold that thought. If research at the Time Picayune goes back more than Tuesday a week ago, they might have noticed that New Orleans had an evacuation plan, which called for using buses to get the people who don't have/can't afford cars out of the City. But that requires the Mayor to have the brains to speak the three-word title of a Spike Lee movie, "GET ON THE BUS."

Okay, hold that thought. Now if any reporter for the Times Picayune would get off his/her butt and toddle down to the parking lots where the school and municipal buses are parked, they might discover that the BUSES ARE STILL THERE.

Now, as long as that reporter has the capacity to type, he/she has a story. Was that so difficult? Or is the entire staff of that newspaper "A Confederacy of Dunces"?
