Ophelia.. what an unfortunate name

for a hurricane.

Bush will take care of it.

She was the most tragic figure of Shakespear. The first time I read Hamlet, in high school, I remember being so sad for her.

To name a hurricane after her...I don't know...but then, she is out there in the ocean...maybe she'll die without hitting land.

hmmmmm

(been a lo-o-o-ong time since I read Hamlet)

It's been a long time since I read it too. I have everything Shakespeare... need to read that scene.

I remember my Shakespeare.

Ophelia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Ophelia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home

Ophelia you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Ophelia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Ophelia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place

Ophelia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Ophelia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home
Come on home

As for Ophelia, it's a bit ironic to have a hurricane named after a drowned woman, agreed, but she's no tragic figure. She's an idiot. I mean, to drown yourself over somebody like Hamlet? Yeesh.

King Lear -- now _there's_ a tragic figure.

Ophelia (J. R. Robertson)

Boards on the window, mail by the door
Why would anybody leave so quickly for
Ophelia
Where have you gone?

The old neighborhood just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became of
Ophelia
Tell me, what went wrong

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Mama, I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you

Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear
Like Ophelia
Please darken my door

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you

They got your number
Scared and runnin'
But I'm still waitin' for the second comin'
Of Ophelia
Come back home

The Band

Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that the Military Leaders of the United States have begun the implementation of what the Americans are calling ‘Operation Ophelia’, and which calls for the dividing of the United States into separate Military Districts under the command of their newly established North American Defense Division of NORTHCOM.

According to these reports ‘Operation Ophelia’ was originated as a strategic plan for the total changing of American society based upon ‘2 or more’ cataclysmic events occurring in their country over a period of 6 months, and as these reports further show these American Military Leaders are now ‘convinced’ are about to occur.
