OK, I'm feeling quite guilty about this, so I need to pull its thorns.

There is a hurricane building in the Gulf of Mexico, just swept a path of devastation across the western tip of Cuba. It has the potential to be a more powerful and damaging storm than Katrina of three years ago, and may also strike New Orleans.

It's name is Gustav.

And whenever I hear or see that name, a little correction voice in my head says "Don't you mean Gusev?"

Like I say -- feeling guilty about that, but there it is...
