The EIB Network ^ | September 29, 2008 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 09/29/2008 8:24:01 AM PDT by TSchmereL

AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha-Rushie! America's Anchorman, Truth Detector, Doctor of Democracy, and Chief of the Patriotism Police. He is the man who runs America. He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do--That's host. Get ready to what you were born to do--That's listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

We love to hear Rush Limbaugh,
Excellence in Broadcasting.
From sea to shining sea,
Millions and millions listen.
Conservative voice of freedom,
Heard throughout all America.
A message pure and truthful,
The downhearted are encouraged.
Integrity and honesty his motto.
We love you, Rush.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh.
G-d Bless you, Rush Limbaugh.

I’m sorry you’ve run into hate regarding Mr. Newman. I was brought up to speak well of the dead no matter what disagreements we may have had in life. God Speed to Mr. Newman and grace to his family during their time of grief.

Don’t think I can bear any dire predictions with the sinking feeling that is already in my gut re: this election. :(

I bet if I searched, just two or three weeks ago you likely posted some "It's a landslide, baby!" comments on various threads. Am I right? :)

hey maine conservative....i am a former mainer. i miss the beauty but not the lack of jobs and influx of outsiders and flatlanders.

anyway i am sad for his family and the loss of a talented and caring person, liberal or not. i am always saddened when a person goes home to meet his maker and things might not turn out well if he doesn’t know the “maker”. such a long time to be in one place if it isn’t a good place.

Heap Big Chief Sitting Bullsh*t Repeller checkin' in!

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." -- George Orwell

Here's Rich Galen's take today:

Rich Galen - Mullings.com
A Buy-in, Not a Bail-out
Monday September 29, 2008

By the time you read this, the House might have already voted to pass the bill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described as "not a bail-out, but a buy-in." The President will probably already have spoken and a good number of House Republicans will defied their leadership and voted against it.

I know a lot of MULLINGS readers are against this bill as well, and as you know I am not its biggest fan, but I think it is a must-do. To over-state the metaphor: If your boat is taking on water, and you are opposed, in ideological grounds, to bailing it out, it will sink and you will drown.

Let's forget about Merrill Lynch and Washington Mutual and Lehman Brothers. Let's look in, as the ad goes, YOUR wallet. What do you have in there; three credit cards? Four? Six? Come on. Come clean.

I will. I have two Amex cards - one for business use one for personal - a Visa ATM card and a MasterCard. Four. Which, according to an article in the San Jose Mercury News is the number the average American has in his or her wallet.

In fact, there are just short of a BILLION Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards in circulation in the US representing a total debt a little shy of a TRILLION dollars.

Ok. Enough of the data. Now to the point of all this.

Credit cards have been the fuel behind the extraordinary growth in the US economy which has been largely based upon consumer spending. Hold that thought.

Let's say the total debt of all of your credit cards is about $10,000 - which would put you just about at the average. Credit card companies generally require a minimum payment of about 4% of your balance on each card each month. $10,000 x .04 = $400. Each month.

With me so far?

Banks and other issuers have to have the funds to pay the merchant (less a fee) when you charge something. In order to do that, THEY have to borrow money. And they use your credit card debt is their collateral.

If the credit market remains frozen, then the banks can't borrow money to cover the $4 you put on your credit card at McDonalds this morning. They have no choice but to get you to pay your debt back faster.

Let's say that issuers raise the minimum payment from about 4% per month to 6% per month. Just two percentage points. But on your $10,000 debt your monthly payment just went from $400 per month to $600 per month.

I know you have $200 lying around at the end of each month you haven't known what to do with, but a lot of us don't.

In order to find that extra $200, you have to do two things: First you have to spend $200 less each month in cash at the grocery store, the gas station, or Starbucks. Second you have to stop charging to your credit cards because every $100 you charge now adds $6 to what you have to pay - every month.

If 100 million families have credit cards, and each of them spends $200 less per month in cash because of the higher minimums, that is $20 billion being kept out of the economy. Every month. Plus whatever people aren't charging any more.

Twenty billion dollars not being spent means businesses can't keep as many people doing whatever they were doing before. That means layoffs. More layoffs means more people unable to pay their debts - credit cards or mortgages. More defaults and foreclosures means an even slower economy leading to a spiral which could result in a 1930's style depression.

I'm not suggesting that will be the result of the Congress not passing the Bail-out/Buy-in Bill, but I wanted to point out that the situation is not limited to keeping Wachovia in business.

It comes down to you and me and our ability to get through the month.

My FL brother-in-law remembers growing up going to school with Paul Newman. BIL comes from the CT shore line area.

I have seen a large array of “Newman’s Own” products, including dressing.

I agree, when freepers are glad others died it sickens me, in my opinion they are like the ones they hate, no different (and there is way too much rejoicing here when others die).

Reagan Man and i are having a disagreement with Paul Newman’s death. I mean, he was a great actor and I said that, and he told me to go to KOS or to the DU, that I’m not welcome here.

I met him a few times - when I was a Counselor at his camp, and at LimeRock and at Shady Glen (a restaurant in Connecticut — BigGirl knows where it is. Or she should!!)

Well, well well, the Dow is down 300 points AFTER the Dems had their (2nd) self-congratulatory presser claiming “credit” for the bailout bill.

It’s all teed-up for McCain!

I can’t speak for what you saw, but I didn’t see anybody on this forum speaking ill of Paul Newman. On the contrary, he was praised time and time again, in spite of his politics.
