I'll be honest...I posted the story mostly for this tidbit about the Substitute Teacher of the Year:

"Evacuee Peggy Hill told a local television station she had been on the road 20 hours, departing from League City 10 miles southeast of Houston and had not yet gotten across the nation's fourth largest city."

Apparently Hank had nothing to say.

It's bush's fault that there was traffic. I think it would be great if they found out that TX misappropriated funds for highway construction!

Our gov is soooo f***ed up. I really need to become a politician so i can get chicks, booze, girls (maybe some underaged ones like clinton!), hang out with teddy and Billy, smack hillary on her big ol lard ass, chase after interns, get free food and trips, and get to go on TV and rant!!! Damn it, I'll have to switch parties and become a demoncrat now.

Please tell me they've opened the southbound lanes to accommodate northbound traffic. Nothing irks me more than to see evacuations being mishandled by using only THREE LANES out of a possible SIX!

What a nightmare. Lesson for the future too. Mega city evacuations will turn into gridlock nightmare.

Thank an environmentalist who with a never ending litany of frivolous litigation has made it too expensive for any Government entity to build adequate highways for the current load demand.

Let us count the ways some idiots are stuck on stupid. Officials told residents to start evacuating on Tuesday AM.

UH, no, I want to wait until the last few hours and then we can all leave at once. But I had an 1/8th tank of gas when I started. This vehicle has been acting up for months, but I have faith it will make it. Damn, the government has created a world of $hit, but now we can give CNN another horror story to brow beat Bush with.

My sympathy reservoir is running on negative for such fools.

I see that all of the freeways are clogged but no one is saying anything about all of the highways and backroads out of town. I suspect that all of the smart people are sneaking away on the gravel roads and not telling anyone about it.

It's like getting out of a ballpark lot: the key is to go wherever you can even if it's in the wrong direction or on a road you've never taken before. (Avoid the slums, though.)

Sounds almost as bad as my daily commute to Boston.

"Evacuee Peggy Hill told a local television station she had been on the road 20 hours, departing from League City 10 miles southeast of Houston and had not yet gotten across the nation's fourth largest city."

What in the world was Peggy Hill doing in Houston? One only hopes that she had left Arlen to substitute teach espanol for a day or so.

Go home, Peggy Hill! Bobby and Hank need you. (And Bill is a mess without you!)

It is official. Common Sense is dead.

Here's some really bad news. It's believed that oxygen bottles in the school bus evacuating some nursing home residents caused the explosion.

What's the status of the dykes?
