I like paininthearse's suggestion of... FLOODGATE Even though I usually hate just sticking "gate" on the end of things. What do you think? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4681150

The way people are being sent out in a mass diaspora reminds me of the Dustbowl-Grapes of Wrath style. And NOLA has been referred to as a bowl through all of this...

7. Maybe just the name "Katrina" will be powerful enough in the coming years |
|
for people to remember how horrific the disaster was.
It's not going to be a very popular name for a long long time.

9. On second thought I think just invoking the name "Katrina" will be enough |
|
to bring to mind all the details without having any sort of "gate" involved.
But for a "gate" I think "Floodgate" works well.

Though of course here's my dumb luck, it's a flood that triggers my ranting--the one time a "gate" makes sense. Sometimes, I just have to laugh at myself. :D

11. I think it's just easy to use "-gate" as the default |
|
What about "The George Bush Affair?" Or is that only reserved for Democrats, because who'd have sex with a Resmuglican anyway (borrowed from Jonathan Alter 9-7-05)?

it's put on to everything and it loses all value.
Ha! The George Bush Affair...ew. Resmuglican! Ha!
How about, "The Clusterfuckening of America?" Or is that too "blue" for middle America?
