Situation Normal
A few days ago CNN, due to the Katrina and Roberts hearings "situations," expanded "The Situation Room" to, we dunno, 24 hours a day. Our question: When does itstop being a situation? As a correspondent pointed out, a "situation" that lasts for a long time becomes a "crisis" or a "castastrophe," or a "debacle." All of which do describe the show. Perhaps a name change is in order? "The Debacle Room"? "The Padded Mattress Room"? Make all those large plasma screens serve a double purpose.
