Does anyone know a source for the transcript of the great call on Rush several years ago from "Karen from Whitefish?" (It pretty much persuaded me that Rush was nothing more than an entertainer)
I'm spending the day transferring the files from one ancient compewder to one slightly less so.
Let us remember that 43 years ago today, two of the greatest men of the 20th century died, C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley. And some Massachussetts playboy also died, after making hedonism okay in the White House.
That's some nice fauxtography, dead! (laughing)
I complained that I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet...
Then I asked him, "Hey, can I have your shoes?"
I have a hole in the toe of one of my socks.
It sucks.
The short version: Socks. Sucks.
We've only just begun to approach strange.
I don't know what's so strange about my contribution. Lefties are always yapping about equality when it suits them but not about the best and brightest. You decide, are we equal or not, but be then consistent in your politics.
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns. NRA KMA
LOL!
Days like this I'm glad I have a compewder. ;)
I grew up in Des Plaines, btw :)
To me, the strangeness came just from the wide variety of topics assembled in one thread, that's all. :)
No offense meant. :)
I once drove through Elk Grove Village, IL...on my way back home to Elk Grove, California.
Ahh...
De plane, boss!
The right-wing newbies are casting about trying to find something conservative that'll resonate nicely. Conservatism is hammering on the invincibly ignorant - forever. Not about pandering to the muddled middle.

LOL! *blushes* I should have asked. :)
That's interesting how quickly Elk Grove, CA has grown.
Boy does that bring back memories :)
What picture did you post? I'm just getting a www.tripod.com message.:(
I actually saw that plane crash in, what was it, 1978? On takeoff. It went behind the buildings and then there was a huge cloud of black smoke.
I think you found just the right one! Certainly there's a lot of potential here. :)

Rush used to care about issues like abortion and even did "caller abortions" on pro-abort nuisances, but the Snapple Company was afraid it might hurt them with the youth market they were targeting so Rush dropped the pro-life thrust.
Rush then decided that the worst fate that could befall the republic was the upper bracket income tax as it applied to high income talking heads, closely followed by the possibility that some blue collar worker, any blue collar worker somewhere in American might not have his job exported to Bangladesh.
My magic moment that cured me of any Rush addiction by realizing how truly clueless Rush is was when he received a call from a young woman describing herself as Karen from Whitefish, Montana. She told Rush that it did not much matter who got elected and that America, as we know it, is over, that the goivernment schools have done their job of thoroughly laundering what passes for the minds of their inmates, that general levels of political ignorance know no bounds, that Rush was teasing his listeners with a false premise that electing a president would make everything right.
Karen's call lasted more than half an hour with Rush denying his essential irrelevance. Karen told Rush that she had graduated with a history degree from a local Montana small college, that the only leadership she would follow within the human race was her father and her husband, that she and her husband would be busy having a large family and keeping the children far, far from the wrong influences by homeschooling them and avoiding that which passes for public "entertainment;" that when enough families did likewise, we would be ready for a new generation of leadership to run another revolution and restore the rights that we mistakenly suppose that we still enjoy.
Rush reacted by ranting for the rest of the show that it is unrealistic buffoons like Karen from Whitefish, Montana, who are the real problem. Rush: What a maroon! He coulda been a contenda. I disagree with SOME of what Karen had to say but her idea of starting the next revolution with your own kids schooling them at home sure made sense. Nonetheless, it helped me to stop wasting my time listening to Rush rant and rave about his taxes and treat Dubya as only Jesus Christ should be treated. I voted for Dubya and I will vote for him again but not under any delusion that he is a political messiah. He is simply not the Arkansas Antichrist or Mrs. Antichrist and that will have to be good enough for now in the degenerate state of our nation.
