How about naming it the Tom DeLay Highway to Hell?

A 49-mile stretch of Highway 130 in Texas won't be named after Willie Nelson, after all. Steve Ogden and Jeff Wentworth, Republican senators, spoke against the proposal because they didn't want the stretch of road, which crosses their districts, named for someone who drinks, smokes, and supports Democrats.

How I wish I were making this up. The Farm Aid founder, who has been honored at Lincoln Center and whose music and songwriting have been embraced by practically every aspect of American society, is an icon, if ever there were one. But if you support Democrats, you don't get a namesake in Texas. At least Nelson doesn't have to go to prison for it, like Martha Stewart did.
