Ineffective Reverse Rita Evacuation

Some consultant made a lot of money off of this worthless map. 

Hurricane Rita evacuees are supposed to use this as a guide for the day they’re to return to Houston. Just who is going to adhere to this plan? Apparently, no one.

Heh, ‘pending’. Riiiiiight.

The Devil Made Me Do It

Note to self – the next time you get stopped for speeding, tell the cop about how you saw demons who urged you to go 10 MPH over the limit.

A man suspected of killing two tourists and injuring 12 others on the Las Vegas Strip told police he steered his car into the crowd on the sidewalk because they were staring at him like demons.

Stephen M. Ressa, 27, also told police he saw people with their hands in their pockets and thought they might be armed with guns, according to an arrest report obtained Friday by The Associated Press.

“They were staring at him like they were `demons,'” the report said. “Ressa admitted he became angry at them, and intentionally steered the vehicle toward them.”

Drink enough and everyone will look like Mephistopheles…or Pamela Anderson.

How To Kill a Blog Site

Blogging has been light for the past 24 hours…I’ve been busy fixing/tweaking/breaking/fixing/breaking/fixing and tweaking this site. Wow…do you know how many land mines there are under the hood of a movable type install? I swear, I have grown 10 new gray hairs since Thursday evening. Still more to do, but not a whole lot. The heavy lifting is done.

From what little I’ve seen, Rita looks very different than Katrina – from planning, to evacuation, to damage (flooding) – amazing. And Houston looks good.

To the regulars who read PunditGuy, thanks.

More later.
