2.5 million evacuated in 24 hours. That's amazing. Media seems to think millions of people could evacuate the 4th largest city in the country without a traffic jam. I think they'll be stuck with the "stuck on stupid" label for some time to come.

No kidding - the term SOS may well replace MSM in the future

The only way you can punish the media is not to watch them and to tell your local cable provider's sponsors that you don't. Don't email them, don't write, don't call them. They just use that to show how big their audience is.
I've abandoned everyone but Fox and TWC and I watch them with the sound off.

Brit Hume slapped down Mort Kondracke on this issue on Special Report tonight, after Mort complained about the traffic and insisted "How would we evacuate a city if an unannounced terrorist attack occurred? We're not ready.
Brit rightly told him it was not possible to IMMEDIATELY coordinate 4 million to leave at once.

If there is one simple truth we can learn from this storm, it is that you can't evacuate 5 million people in 3 days. We must learn to hang tough, with snorkel in one hand and 12-gauge in the other, and damn the Cindies.

"2.5 million evacuated in 24 hours. That's amazing"

As I way often say, you are on your own, do your own thinking and plaining, do not expect uncle Sam to save you. Right now there are hundreds of thousands of people stuck on highways leading out of Houstan, out of gas, out of fuel, in strange surroundings. No ones fault, I am happy I bailed out of the great traffic ram while the bailing out was good. Much better to deal with Rita at home then on the sidw of the road.
