Texas is a total disaster

Bush is right: Osama is watching and laughing.

Four years and billions of dollars of planning, and guess what? We can't evacuate a single city worth a damn. This isn't just about mayors and governors. This is no longer just about New Orleans. It seems that our emergency plans just don't work, at least as it concerns mass evacuations.

Washington, DC, kiss your (our) ass good-bye.

The storm's march toward land sent hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the nation's fourth-largest city in a frustratingly slow, bumper-to-bumper exodus.

"This is the worst planning I've ever seen," said Judie Anderson, who covered just 45 miles in 12 hours after setting out from her home in the Houston suburb of LaPorte. "They say we've learned a lot from Hurricane Katrina. Well, you couldn't prove it by me."
