Continental Airlines Offers Free One-Way Tickets To Evacuees
Do you think the one-way tickets were ordered by Barbara Bush? ;) (Barbara Bush recently said she found it "scary" to think that the survivors would want to settle in Texas.)

...Celebrities and politicians, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, toured the Astrodome Friday. The scoreboard there announced that Continental Airlines was offering free one-way fares to evacuees anywhere in the United States...

1. I've always flown Continental, and now will do so with good reason!
I will only fly Continental (though I'm wanting to try Virgin forever now), for really no reason.

Now I have one. Good on them.

2.  Evacuees will find themselves keeping company with J.P. Aristede, former
president of Haiti, if this is Bab's plan.

5. You think they WANT to return to the Astrodome?
One-way seems sufficient.
