    I read this somewhere and found it funny.

    Sheila Jackson Lee's (U.S. Rep- Houston) comments last year about Hurricane names not be very racially fair because black people's names are never used. Anyways, a pathetic and irrelevant issue, so here is the joke.
    A black congresswoman (Sheila Jackson Lee) 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. She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in Language that street people can understand because one of the problems in New Orleans is that regular folks couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

    I can hear it now: A weatherman in Houston reports "Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo'! So grab yo' chirren, yo' Ho, be leavin yo crib, and head fo' da nearest guv'ment office fo yo FREE shit!"

    My god. It sounds almost as bad as our school board here last year. They didn't get ANYTHING done, because they spent the entire sessions arguing over who sat where, and over allegations of name calling. Finally somebody came to their senses, and fired the whole board.

    to the OP - I can see it now - "Oh HEELLS NO! HURicane J-mal is commin up in this bitch?"
