Does anyone else find this photo of Hizbollah fighters in baseball caps ironic?



Just give them hot dogs and apple pie and they'll be as American as you or I.

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- The National Hurricane Center's latest forecast for the 2006 season calls for more Atlantic hurricanes than usual, but not as many as seen over the past three years and fewer than predicted in the NHC's initial estimate in May.

NHC director Max Mayfield said he expects 12 to 15 named storms, with seven to nine gaining hurricane status. Of those, three or four will grow to Category 3 strength or greater, Mayfield said.

A Category 3 hurricane is classified as a major hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with sustained winds of 110 mph or more.

The 2005 season saw a record 28 named storms, including 15 hurricanes. Three named storms had been recorded by mid-August 2006. (Ed. - and they were weak storms at that.)

As I read it, that's about a 60% dropoff. What happened Hurricane Al? DId we reverse global warming last year? As you can tell from his movie poster, huricanes should be our biggest worry - unless of course you think he was using the tragedy of Katrina to spread his political message - but we all know that Democrats wouldn't use a tragedy in that way.
