[StBernard] They Call the Wind M'Ry-ah

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something 
else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila 
Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes
are 
all Caucasian sounding names. 


She would prefer some names that reflect African-American 
culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal. I am 
NOT making this up! 


She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 
'language' that street peo ple can understand because one of the 
problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people 
couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the 
racially biased language of the weather report. 


I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to 
blow at 140+ MPH, thats too hard to understand 



I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says... 

Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass 
like Leroy on a crotch rocket! 
Bitch be a category fo' ! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' 
chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo 
yo 
FREE shit!
