Really? Don't think I didn't notice you moving the goalposts.

Flame » in reply to Doing an end-zone dancd at the 50th yard line on a 4th down looks just as stupid here as it would in an actual game. Nor will it put any points on the board.

The original subject of that thread was a widespread media and political attack declaring that FEMA officials didn't know what was going on at the Convention Center despite it being "all over" the TV news and newspapers. I blew the TV news meme out of the water and pointed out that the Center was not a pre-planned shelter anyway, and you switched to newspapers. You managed to dig up two references, neither of which discussed the convention center as anything other than an evacuation transfer point, and one reference where the center was mentioned in the same line as a hospital and an arena.

The latest line now? That the existence of the news stories doesn't matter, since FEMA shouldn't HAVE to find out from the media.
