Remember when people wonder why hurricanes were only named after women? Obviously, if they were named after men they would have to be called himacanes. Well the esteemed congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee now famous for chatting on her cell phone during a recent town hall also is notable for two other things. First she asked if the Mars probe could take a picture where Neil Armstrong landed and second she wondered why the National Hurricane Center didn't have black names for hurricanes. Now before you laugh look at the following names for future hurricanes. For the complete list go to http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml.

I guess it wouldn't be kosher to use middle names or surnames like James EARL Jones or John Hope FRANKLIN.
