Making Big Waves

Mike Keefe, 3/13/11:
Answering the musical question "Who would be tone-deaf enough to be the first one to use a tsunami metaphor about something much less deadly?"

The answer is Mike Keefe of the Denver Post, and whoever had "one day" in the office pool, please see Marge for your winnings.

Update: the editorial cartoonist Clay Jones pointed out in e-mail that Keefe was joined in the tsunami-as-metaphor parade on the 13th by both Rob Rogers and Tim Hartman. (And Jones himself had a tsunami-themed cartoon that didn't appropriate an immediate human tragedy for an entirely separate political purpose.)
