Pet Highway Peeves
Here are my biggest highway driving peeves in ascending order.
1. Folks who won't move over a lane when they see people trying to enter the highway - especially irritating when there's no one else around for hundreds of yards.
2. People who follow very close in the passing lane creating a line of cars impossible to penetrate when you need to get over.
3. People who follow me very closely in the passing lane when I'm already going 10 or more over the posted limit.
4. Passing lane inhabitants who won't pass.
5. The biggest pet highway peeve for me? Those who won't get up to highway speed on the on-ramp. They are usually going too slow to work their way into a spot when there's traffic and often come to a stop right before entering the highway. I've almost rear ended someone who did this as I was looking at the traffic and trying to sync up with it.
Feel free to include yours.

Sweet Irony
You can't make this stuff up!
After a very Presidential-esque news conference - [Senator Hillary] Clinton turned around to leave the reporters and their peppering questions. A staffer swooped open a curtain, and chaos ensued. Four large American flags came crashing in front of Senator Clinton as she headed for the door. In a controlled panic, the staffers and the Senator attempted to catch the flags before they fell to the ground.
