Must...try...not...to...rant...

Ms. Lee really needs to zip it regarding the equity of hurricane names.

There's a black lady in my community named Katrina, for example.

Even though my daughter's classroom is full of kids with unpronounceable multi-consonant and apostrophe-laden names that defy every conceivable rule of English grammar (just like this run-on-sentence, LOL) and read like the cast members of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" it still isn't fair to invoke that old SNL "Queen Shaniqua" stereotype.

Though, come to think of it, the hurricane naming committee could readily obtain more than a few "Q", "X" and "Z" suggestions from our local birth registrar...
