Hurricane Katrina is on its way to destory New Orleans, it makes you wonder – why isn’t it Hurricane “Keisha”? Or Hurricane “Kwame”? Or Hurricane “Kweisi”? Hurricanes always get named typical “white” names, but never any “black” names. Well a couple years ago, a U.S. congressman wanted to do something about that…

Do devastating hurricanes need help from affirmative action?A member of Congress apparently thinks so, and is demanding the storms be given names that sound “black.”The congressional newspaper the Hill reported this week that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, feels that the current names are too “lily white,” and is seeking to have better representation for names reflecting African-Americans and other ethnic groups.“All racial groups should be represented,” Lee said, according to the Hill. She hoped federal weather officials “would try to be inclusive of African-American names."

So uh, REALLY? Seeeeeeeriously?
