Will the redneck lobby insist on Hurricane Bubba and Hurricane Sissy?

How about

Hurricane Billy Bob or

Hurricane Sally Jean

Good. Put Sheila, Jackson, and Lee ALL on the list of names. J and L would be later in the season and the S would be unlikely but go ahead and put them all there.

Just be careful if any of them strike to stay out of Sheila Jackson Lee's way. You wouldn't want to be caught between her and a camera....

Sheila Jackon Lee was the one who wanted to use the Mars rover to see shots of where the astronauts planted the American flag.

She is proof of what districting can do to guarantee someone can be elected to Congress.

"All racial groups should be represented,” said Lee.

Does this mean I should be expecting Hurricane Wang Chung any time soon?

Hurricanes should be identified numerically and by category.

For example Hurricane 3-1. The 1st Cat3 hurricane of the season.

IIRC, hurricanes change category many times before hitting land. Therefore, your system will make matters really confusing.

On the other hand, the alphabetical order of names provide a timeline for the hurricane season.

This article illustrates the idiocy of political correctness to the point that I have no idea what the best solution would be to create a fool-proof naming system.

Ms. Lee needs to change her own name to something like Lakeesha. Anything short of that would be hypocritical. What was she thinking....running around with that WAY TOO WHITE name of hers.....
