Ok, I'm not great at math, and particularly bad with compound interest, but:
If there are 3,100 dead from the Iraq conflict, and (say) 1550 (half) of them have/had children who are now in college or will go to college; and figuring the cost of college, average, at $20k per year x 4 years, then how many full scholarships would the MCLEF provide if this letter goes for, say, $4 million (including Rush's matching grant)?
Assume that students will access this over an 18-year period, so there would be compound interest for much of this time?
Without the compound interest, I figure this letter alone has funded the full educations of 40-45 kids.
L0L! its called cognitive dissonance
*shakes head*
It’s a slow news day down here. We’re 18 days out from a city election. There’s a third mayoral debate coming Sunday, and the moderator is none other than that damn moonbat Gannett political “reporter” Matt Tully.
All his money is tied up in real estate.
L0L!
I just heard that because so many people are on ebay to watch the bidding that the actual amount is delayed because of traffic.
Can anyone confirm?
At present over 2 million, I would love it to hit 3 or more.
Thanks Rush............
Wow, 237 posts a half hour in. Morning/afternoon all.

Hi.
IT’s probably those bakelite bangles
Did that problem where “Tempoary Unavailable” pops up get fixed?
So far it hasn’t popped up today.
mixing up their kool aid as we speak -
Three big knock outs at once;
1, RUSH
2.Pelosi and gangs 'Phony" genocide bid, aka: cutoff supply route to our troops, going down in shame-flames
3: even the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons coming out STRONG against hillary's Socialized medicine bill, with language that's gotta sting: "This bill is an example of the worst of political sausage-making. In the old joke, were warned that we really dont want to know whats chopped up and thrown in the pot to get the end product.
This bill is like an extremely expensive sausage filled with mystery meats that have nothing to do with delivering medical care to poor children who have no other means to get it. And no one has bothered to analyze the contents.
Hey, you Seditious, treasonous traitors, take this,,,
Yes, but if some Democrat buys the letter to “display proudly” we’ll hear about it all over the MSM.
Limbaugh's approval ratings in Nevada are higher than Dingy Harry's.
Can you say self-preservation, boys and girls? I knew you could.
:)
You going to the debate?
“If you use Inet Explorer, it says that on the view option at the top. Refresh = F5.”
Just because I go into “view” a hundred times a day, am I suppose to remember these things? LOL. I always hit the little refresh arrows. And to think I self taught myself on the computer. Oy.
