Hurricane Sheila

This is hypersensitivity at its finest: Hurricanes have been named after women since 1953 and also after men since feminists made a big fuss about that in 1979. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas is now upset that this year’s crop of hurricane names include Larry, Wanda, and Juan but doesn’t include names such as Antwone, Keisha, or Jamal. It’s good to know that things are going so ducky in this country right now that a member of the United States House of Representatives has nothing better to do with her time than whine that hurricane names aren't more diverse.
