nation’s copy editors mostly resist ‘hello, dolly’ heds
As people in Southern Texas and Northern Mexico girded themselves for weather, almost every news organization that ran a story about Hurricane Dolly avoided the obvious headline. Almost.
MarketWatch: Hello Dolly!
Global Surf News: Hello Dolly, Cristobal cruises nor’east, Genvieve forms
The National Guard: Hello, Dolly: Texas Guard gears up for storm
Wall Street Journal MarketBeat blog: Four at Four: Hello, Dolly
The Examiner Online: Hello Dolly!
The Globe and Mail Market Blog: The close: Hello Dolly
The Oil Drum: Well, Hello Dolly! (Aw C’mon, Someone Had to Say It)
Yes, indeed The Oil Drum. Someone had to say it.

What about:
“Hurricane Dolly ‘Parton’ buildings, families, etc.”
“God’s daughter loses her “Dolly,” Americans suffer”
“Holy shit, here comes Hurricane Dolly!”
