Broadcast excellence continues after an Operational Pause. Go get 'em, Rush!

What do we need to be doing to keep the pressure on the House to pass this? This SHOULD be a no brainer.
Caveat emptor
Do you know what I call people that stay inside, and don't go fishing when it is 52 degrees???
WIMPS!! I hope that doesn't apply to you!

President Clinton, while addressing the attendees at Rosa Parks' funeral yesterday, told of a time when he was 9 years old and learned of Rosa Parks' infamous denial to sit on the back of the bus.
He stated that he was so moved by that, that he went and sat in the back of his school bus with the black children. (This was apparently supposed to be a show of alliance on his part).
But what is also apparent - is that it's not true!
In an article on Sep. 24, 1997 in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (linked), it was noted that when he was 11 years old at the time of the famous integration of Little Rock's Central High School, President Clinton had attended SEGREGATED schools.
How could a child who attended segregated schools have ever been on a SCHOOL bus with black children?

Come on now....you know better than to try to confuse Clinton with the facts!! >sarcasm off
Projection Rush. Projection is what it is called.
GROAN! Rush.
My husband was born and raised in Texas...he was born in 1947....and he said his schools were segregated all the way through high school...
I have a feeling that Arkansas schools were the same.
No, they are opening convenience stores because the mark-up on goods sold is higher than the nickel a gallon they are "allowed" to ear by the oil companies, and the liability insurance is less than the mechanics spaces that the store now occupies.
I had one gas station owner tell me that if he hadn't changed the mechanic's garage into a convenience store, he was going to have to sell the place. He wan't making enough profit to bother with the place.
Major Garrett on FNC ran a series (I didn't get to see them all) on why gasoline costs what it does, and the one show I did see was on how the oil companies only allow the gas stations a 5 cent profit one very gallon. It is mandated on their website, every Morning.
Now, if the 5 cents is on gasoline in the tanks that the guy bought when the gasoline cost him less, yeah - he is making a royal 15-20 cents profit on that gasoline. But if he has to fill his tanks every 3 days, you can deduce that the "gouging" or the "good profit for him", isn't going to last for very long.
I was born in 1947, too, but in the west. But, I can remember traveling in the South when I was 9 or 10 and being shocked by the segregated drinking fountains, rest rooms, restaurants and such. So I'm sure that you are right about Arkansas still having all segregated schools. This story of Clinton's has as much veracity as his tale of remembering the black churches burning in his youth in the South. When he doesn't have a nice, colorful story to tell, he just makes one up. He's a real pro at re-writing history to suit his needs!
We may actually have a meeting of the minds!
You have regular e-mail, if you don't know.
;)
Not only making up stories...but he has to make HIMSELF the star of the stories!
Well, don't forget, the world does revolve around him!! His Mom told him so! ;>)
Thanks for the mail!
Rush: the 2002 trip was Joe Wilson's second trip working for the CIA. His first was in 1999, as reported in the Senate report.
