Katrina? You’re punny. That’s apparently the thinking of newspaper writers and editors, who are looking for their chance at a 2005 SPJ Headline Award or possibly just throwing down the first thing that comes to them. (We’re thinking a little from column A, a little from column B.) Indeed, when Blinq and Attytood are using the same pun, you know we’ve hit critical mass. At quarter to 10, Google News shows 40 matches for “Katrina and the Waves” references in hurricane stories. (Note: This doesn’t include the “A wave of worries” headline on the cover of the business section of the Inquirer today.) We’ll update this as that number rises. See, this is the kind of rising toll after a hurricane that isn’t sad or morbid! Katrina and the waves: We’re going down to Washington to do nothing [Attytood] |

Hey, just because everybody else knows it’s an obvious, way-too-easy pun doesn’t mean we can’t do it, too, right?
Yes, but by posting Sunday night, I was obvious first!
Frist!
