Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

Katrinitis
From JH:
Katrinitis, definition: Severe inflammation; cause is ceaseless media coverage and brainless analysis of people who have chosen to live below sea level in a hurricane zone and believe they are entitled to lay off the risk thereof onto all taxpayers and become enraged when the tax dollars don't flow fast enough.

What is the cure?

Update: Rondi Adamson says Katrinitis is related to JonBenetitis, another disease afflicting the media.

Perhaps you could publish a definition equally tastesless for the upcoming 5th anniversary of 9/11. Perhaps you could draw upon the whinning media demanding why the mastermind behind the attack has not been captured. Or better still the 9/11 widowed "harpies" demanding accountability or increased security of the U.S. homeland.
