Welcome home Rush, you sure have big feet.BEWARE!
We missed you my friend, and we are collectively breathing a sigh of relief at your return..
HOWEVER, this is a warning, you may have created your own monster.. You, and our training at the EIB Institute, may have done TOO good a job teaching us how to do this stuff on our own. I know I did a fabulous job while you were gone, but I must admit to you my dear friend, those shoes of yours are huge!
Gathering the news of the day the way that you have taught us over the years, is not really all that hard. With the internet bringing an abundance of sources instantly to our fingertips, it isn't hard to get a broad picture of the current events that will shape the headline, and set the tone of the chattering classes. But now I discovered the RUSH FACTOR!
Because of my time spent in your classes at the EIB Institute, I was able to read, assess, and apply that, CRITICAL EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT SIDE OF THE NEWS, that you have taught us oh so well.
I laughed as I was reading, that it is so true, what you always said, "If you read one of the Main National Media sources, say the New York Times, or Washington Post, there really isn't any reason to read anything else. They all get their news, and all interpret it in the same way, and with few exceptions, all repeat it almost exactly the same way, from one of those two old, fat, and sour cows.. LOL
It's amazing how much I've learned from you. I now recognize the reason for that familiar warning that you "make this stuff look easy, and we shouldn't try this at home". Well I'll tell you what.. It can be done, so you shouldn't take too much for granted, your replacement is in your ranks.. I may be only one of the millions of listeners in your audience, take a bit of caution.. I'm almost ready.. :)
Because of years listening to your TAKE on the news, I can now read the raw stories on the wires, knowing that the writer, and editor, have already twisted, bent, and massaged the story to; 1) Make President George W. Bush, Republicans, anyone the believes in God, or anyone that has a conscience, look just terrible, 2) Make anything that reflects a moral or patriotic statement, into a slur, 3) Allow for the reader to come to only one conclusion that this tragedy, wouldn't have happened if Bill or Hillary Clinton, Dean, Lieberman, Roosevelt, Stalin, Castro... was at the helm.
Then I played the GAME OF WHERE'S WALDO, Waldo being the sliver of truth, hidden in the back of the paper, behind a meaning, under a misleading statement, by an unnamed source, or omitted by committee.. This is not easy, but as you say.. doable.., and easier as we hone our skills..
THEN, the hard part, WHAT WOULD RUSH THINK OF THIS... thats where I am just a wee bit sketchy yet, but with a little more time and a lot more reason to have to apply it.. I could be ready to hit the GOLDEN EIB MICROPHONE..
So my wonderful and dear man, it seem that absence doesn't only make the heart grow fonder, it also reminds us of the importance that your presence plays in our lives. So BIG BOY, knowing at least for now you are still the KING, there had better be a voice whispering in your ear.. VICTORY IS FLEETING, and Carlo3b is gaining on ya.. .*<}:o)
If you wish to remain*on it, just sit back and enjoy our wonderful exchange of ideas and you will be alerted whenever we start posting recipes and other valuable info re: various food management threads.
*If you have been flagged to this thread on post #2, you are already on our temporary ping list, other pings don't count... :(

**If you are annoyed that you were pinged in the first place, please accept my apology, I have lost my ping list because of a computer crash..Grrr, and be assured that your name will be expunged immediately upon your request.. :)
ALL ABOARD....The FUN FOOD TRAIN is leaving the FAT, BEHIND...
(Fat Behind, get it?).. Hahahahhahaha... {{{{{crickets}}}}} *<]8^p~
If there are those in the ranks who can replace him, I have yet to see it demonstrated by anyone yet, on the air or otherwise.
Rush is one in a million.
:-)
LOVE YA, RUSH!
Well, I guess your right, BUT, can't we needled them anyway.. they are sooooooo easy.. LOLOL
