Government's role regulating free speech needs to be as limited as possible. The freedom allowed under the 1st Amendment isn't always attractive, yet to limit free expression is always the worst possible option.

Palmateer the media blew that WAY out of proportion.
Basically everyone who wanted a ride out of NO could have gotten one. I blogged the NYT piece if you search for it.

So Paul, Wouldn't it be way out of proportion to pick this as picture of the year?

Mark I thought about that as I posted my comment...
I decided it made my brain hurt... At the time it was a BIG news event but wit the benefit of hindsight it was not that big a deal.....
Well it was not as big a deal BEFORE the storm. Having access to them AFTER the storm however would have been important.
I dunno, like I said, it makes my brian hurt.
In the end I don;t think one blogger naming it pic of the year means much.

Hmmm.
Sorry folks but all I got from that gallery is an incredible urge to travel to Germany, drink some beer and ogle some barmaids.
No idea why.

Michael Yon's photo of the soldier cradling a dying girl ought to be in any collection of "photos of the year."

Didn't the Panthers' cheerleaders cause the biggest spike in traffic to Wizbang? Shouldn't that be the story of the year?

I liked the photo-shoped version of the buses parked into letters that spell "WTF"
this photo makes me think of that everytime.

I can only second Russ' comment above. I have looked for Michael Yon's breathtakingly poignant photo at each such collection, and I am disappointed not to find it here. I would not quibble with the "Buses" photo, except for my fervant belief that anything that focuses attention on the nobility and honor displayed by our military men and women serving in Iraq must, perforce, take precedent.
They're story is far, far more important than some big-ass thunderstorm.

Oh, and Brian is Capitalized :)
