The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea—Or—New Orleans And The New York Times
It's possible that This article at Times Watch is the most important bit of prose Americans could read at this time. Yet it's likely that few persons will read it -- including few among those who could best use the data it provides.
Please, just this once, do as your Curmudgeon recommends. Read it all. Follow the links.
(Father, forgive them. They know exactly what they do, and they do it anyway.)

Here’s the key points for the column I’ll never write. Anyone, please, may flesh it out and call it your own.
Run two columns using the NYTimes own words where the Times is blasting the Army Corps of Engineers alongside its current lionizing of the Corp.
Include their complaints about the Corp spending too much alongside their complaining of the Prez not spending enough.
Be sure to juxtapose their concerns about the environment against their complaints about people living where the Corps work creates a people friendly habitat.
Be sure to note the article wherein they praise the increased costs of buidling levees and dams and run it opposite their complaints about running a deficit.
And please be sure to note how the Left has been the primary blocker of dam and levee construction—and run that alongside how, today, the Left claims it is the Right won’t build them because poor people (who the Left allegedly cares about) live near them.
The only conclusion is that the Left will fight tooth and nail to obstruct safety measures in order to protect an obscure fish, but will blame the Right when people die because the Left blocked the safety measures in the first place. Based on their own “reasoning,” it proves the Left are the in fact the racists because it’s their obstruction which resulted in the death of so many minorities in NOLA.
The Left claims to care more for the poor people today, but their actions of the past, and those they’ll try to continue tomorrow, will lead to more deaths next year.
This is yet another example of the culture of death that the Left has embraced. How can it be a wonder any longer that they back the radical insurgents against our own armed forces?
