Story #1: Choppadicoffamy or Addadictomy?
RUSH: For those of you who are new to this program, we often keep track of sex-change operations on the medical front out there because federal funds and city funds are used in health care plans -- say, in places like San Francisco -- to pay for these operations. We affectionately named a female-to-male sex-change operation the "addadictomy", and we have news about addadictomies today.
And realize that many of you are just hanging out there (well, that's a bad choice of words, but it fits) on the edge your chairs, waiting to hear this latest news on the addadictomy research that has been done, so here it is. This is from Reuters Health: "Most people who undergo male-to-female sex change surgery are satisfied..." This we call the "choppadicoffamy", by the way. Most people who undergo the choppadicoffamy, "are satisfied with the results, according to a follow-up study of patients treated at one UK practice over a 10-year period. Dr. Jonathan C. Goddard and colleagues from the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust reviewed the cases of 222 individuals who had undergone the procedure, known medically as feminizing genitoplasty." But that's such a long word, it's so confusing, we have come up with our own terminology for this.
"At the first outpatient visit after the surgery, 88 percent said they were 'happy' with the results, 7 percent reported being unhappy." So if you're thinking about it, I just wanted to make sure...(interruption) What, Mr. Snerdley? I don't know all the details; all I know is the results. We don't have the questions, Mr. Snerdley, that the patients were asked. All we know is what they told the doctors.
 Story #2: Murder Charges Dropped in Alcohol Enema Death
RUSH: What else? People are dying out there because of enemas. It may sound odd to you, but I want to fill you in because we're dying of everything, and now enemas have been added to the list. And you married people -- this is something all of you might want to be on the lookout for: "Negligent homicide charges have been dropped against a former Lake Jackson woman who had been accused of killing her husband with a sherry enema that led to alcohol poisoning. Court records show the charge against Tammy Jean Warner, 45, of Texas City, was dismissed Aug. 31 because of insufficient evidence." I wonder why that might be? You give somebody an alcohol enema, they have alcohol poisoning -- you know what enemas cause -- and there's no evidence? This is clever! You better keep this in mind, those of you having marital strife!
I've heard of people doing this, by the way, but not to get alcohol poisoning; people who are worried about all the calories in alcohol -- I have heard of alcohol enemas just to get the buzz, but not the calorie absorption. Yes, I've heard this, Dawn, it's really true. Not a lot, but I've heard about it over the course of my life. Well, look, I have a wide and varied experience in life, and have thus met and run into many people.
Story #3: Democrat Atlantic City Mayor AWOL After War Lie
RUSH: I have a blog here, "JammieWearingFoolblogspot.com", and the headline is: "'Another Phony War Hero? Atlantic City's Democrat Mayor Goes AWOL.' Looks like we have another case of a Democrat embellishing his military record, though, of course, this account from the Philadelphia Inquirer doesn't identify his party affiliation. To be fair, the Mayor of Atlantic City did, indeed, serve in the military, but claimed to be a Green Beret when he was not." And, again, the Philadelphia Inquirer does not mention his party. There are a lot of stories on this guy as well; the Newark Star-Ledger has done a story and some of the local TV stations.
Here's the Inquirer story. "Where's the mayor? Not since 'Where's Waldo?' and 'Where's the Beef?' has such a query caused such a stir. In this resort, where the streets are literally paved by gambling revenues, they're taking bets on what might have become of Mayor Bob Levy and whether his disappearance signals another impending scandal involving the city's top job. Amid reports of a federal probe into false claims that Levy admits he made regarding his Vietnam military service, the mayor drove off last Wednesday in a silver, city-owned Dodge Durango and has not officially been heard from since. His lawyer says that Levy is in a hospital, but isn't giving up anything else.
"Rumors flew last week that Levy was ready to resign and would hold a news conference. But his assistants insisted that none of that was true." Then where is he? Might this have something to do with it? "Levy's public problems started last fall, when he acknowledged to a reporter for the Press of Atlantic City that he misrepresented his military background during his mayoral campaign. He had claimed to have served in the Army Green Berets during the Vietnam War, but in November said he never was in the elite Army Special Forces group. Levy's service record shows he served two tours in Vietnam and was decorated for bravery twice."
And, as the blogger asks here, "Why would someone who was decorated for bravery twice find it necessary to embellish his record? Nonetheless, like many Democrat officeholders in New Jersey, many in Atlantic City face assorted corruption charges." Get this: "Currently, one-third of Atlantic City's City Council members are in prison or awaiting sentencing. Another city councilman was caught in a videotaped sex act with a prostitute last year. He said he was set up by political opponents." Ha, ha! These are the people that denounce me! "Since taking office two years ago, Levy may have spent as much time out of his City Hall office as he did serving in it." So the stories go on and on. He did serve in Vietnam two tours, but he never was a Green Beret and said that he was.
Story #4: India-Pakistan Nuke War Could Cause Starvation
RUSH: Try this headline, ladies and gentlemen: "Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan Could Trigger Mass Starvation." Really? You mean the ones that weren't fried might starve to death afterwards? I guess if the radiation from the nuke doesn't kill you, you can get hysterical about starving. Sometimes, I just marvel at the sheer moron-ity that has invaded our journalism community out there.
