While we're on the subject, who wants to start a petition to have the hurricane retroactively renamed? It just doesn't seem fair that so much suffering has been at the hands of a natural disaster with such a wussy sobriquet. Hurricane Salvatore or Hurricane Macho Man Randy Savage would be fine, but Hurricane Katrina sounds like a toe-headed Girl Scout in knee socks blowing on a dandelion. And our history books simply deserve more, damn it.

I'll skirt being creative and quote Henry Rollins. Hurricane "The First Four Black Sabbath Albums."
Hey, I found myself feeling slightly annoyed last week that such a nasty hurricane had such a sweet girl's name. So I was thinking how about calling it Medea, who was after all both powerful and tragic?
uh... not to butt in here, but, in my experience it's always the ones with the sweet names that you have to watch out for. What? Sweet names? Y'know... like Heather.
You're all forgetting about the real issue here. What's the band Katrina & The Waves gonna do now?
TOE headed?
yeah...they're the ones who AREN'T so cute.
