You're right, we need some good stories out of that natural disaster. I was up 24+ hours watching it.

I still can't help commenting that I can't belieb (sic) such a headline was written by a professional journalist (if there is such a thing anymore).

I also can't belieb (sic) that a professional editor didn't shoot it to pieces.

Here's my version:

La Mom (as in french) evacuates Miss "Traffic Jam" baby.

Reminds me of specific scene in a Monty Python movie (don't ask).

They need to go back to the books (it not your fault, your reported it correctly, it's just a crappy newspaper).

"Biana Doucett says she planned to name her daughter Ka'Niyah, but now she's considering Katrina because the child was born Sunday as Doucett's family evacuated New Orleans.

Hopefully, she takes the hint and DOES name her Katrina.....!!!

"Ka'Niyah"

Heavens. That's the same sound my butt makes when I have a diarrhea attack.
