Story #1: Prepare for Exactly Nine (9) Hurricanes
RUSH: Well, it's Panic City again. The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, according to the experts at Colorado State University (that's the team that's headed and founded by William Gray) will have 17 tropical storms. Nine will strengthen into hurricanes. They don't know where they're going to hit, of course. Well, I don't know. Maybe they do and they're just holding back on us, but I remember last year: the prediction came out, and nothing happened. Then they revised the prediction. That was wrong. They revised the prediction again.
Supposedly El Niño is gone or is waning, and the Sahara dust storms -- which do affect a lot of our climate -- might have had an impact on the down hurricane season last year. Both of those elements are said to be "less problematic" this year. The good thing about El Niño in the hurricane regard is it creates upper level winds right across the Atlantic Basin, and just rips the tops off those hurricanes when they form, and when you rip the top off a hurricane, you pretty much destroy it. That's what happened, they think. They're not sure, but that's what they think last year.
 Anyway, 17 tropical storms, nine of which will become hurricanes, and I'm just wondering if on June 1st, the traditional opening of hurricane season, we'll have Drive-By Media camera crews on the beaches in south Florida (and of course we know we will in New Orleans), scanning the skies looking for hurricanes that might form anywhere near 15 or 2,000 miles away, and it will be time to scare everybody. It's something that happens every year, and yet it will be treated as something unprecedented. So just get ready for it.
Story #2: NY Times Digs Up Baghdad Ringers
RUSH: John McCain came in at $12.5 million in raised campaign funds, and the Drive-Bys are all over him. Now they're trying to sandbag his report out of Baghdad that he was able to walk around in the security zone unharmed. So the same Drive-By Media that he considered his base is trying to destroy him. The New York Times even found a couple ringers that supposedly run market shops in Baghdad: "Who's he kidding? They haven't increased security detail! We're not safe here. McCain's crazy!" All over the place now McCain is nuts. He's blown it. The American people don't want to go to war in Iraq anymore, blah, blah, blah.
Story #3: Shooting at CNN: Women, Minorities Hardest Hit
RUSH: Shots fired in the CNN headquarters building in Atlanta. It's a big building; there's a big complex in there, a hotel inside, and a large atrium. When you go in there, you're not necessarily at CNN, but here's what we know. We know that there are three people involved. Two are injured, but there has to be three people if the gunman fired and then somebody fired, because the gunman is among the wounded. I'll tell you, CNN is genuinely now a Drive-By Media location, not just a Drive-By Media outlet. I'm just wondering if as early as tonight we'll see a special on CNN, "Why Do They Hate Us?"
CNN has shown video of American soldiers being shot -- sniper video from Al-Qaeda in Iraq. I wonder if we'll get similar treatment of this episode inside the CNN headquarters. We'll just have to wait and see. But both victims are black, according to the latest reports that we have, and one of them is a woman, and thus: "CNN Shooting: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit." That's a predictable, perfunctory Drive-By Media headline on virtually every event that happens in the country. Anyway, Turner Broadcast security says that one of their officers shot the suspect at the CNN Center, which is cool. I'm just surprised that their security people are armed at CNN.
Story #4: Brits Drop Holocaust Teaching, Appease Muslims
RUSH: Well, Winston Churchill is having a scotch in his grave right now asking the question: "How did 15 British sailors and Marines give up without firing a shot?" Churchill probably cannot believe this. You know, they pretty mothballed their navy. Great Britain, I'll tell you, it's gone PC in ways you wouldn't believe. If you people haven't heard, this I want you to sit down. This is from the UK Daily Mail: "Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils," according to a government study. The study "found that some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity of the Holocaust for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. There is also resistance to tackling the Eleventh Century crusades where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques. The findings have prompted claims that some schools are using histories as a vehicle for promoting political correctness." Political correctness? It's worse than that! The Brits are not teaching the Holocaust because there are Muslim students in there who are Holocaust deniers, and they don't want them to be offended! They're worried that they're going to start blowing up the schools or something, I guess. (interruption) Yes, there is a "consensus" on the Holocaust, but the Brits are willing to say, "To hell with consensus." The Holocaust is not "consensus." It's fact. Look, you wonder what's happened to the Brits? It's political correctness is running amok, and "conflict resolution." Does anybody think that 15 United States Marines would just sit there and allow themselves to be taken when they had not invaded Iranian waters and then in two days, start apologizing on Iranian TV? Do you think 15 United States Marines would do this? No. Way.
Semper fi. No way. But all you have to know is the story I just told you. They're not teaching the Holocaust might offend Muslim students who don't believe it.
