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, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, 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, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). 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).
19% graduation rate in the Indy public schools? Yikes!
That is disappointing. I thought he was smarter than that.
It’s an illness.
Honestly, I don’t think politics plays any significant role in his life. I don’t hold a cordial comment about Obama against him.
Thanks for the info. Hope we get some good subs.
That is staggering. Yet no one questions throwing more money at the bad programs that have caused this.
I know Dungy was/is an 0bama supporter...that aside (hey we all have foibles) he is quite inpirational. I hope his efforts in Indianapolis helps.
I said a quick prayer...’Please let Mark Steyn be available.’
Hi! I could not agree more, I love Steyn, he is hilarious!
Quick prayers and fingers crossed. At least one day for Steyn.
LOL...I affect a British accent after listening to him for three hours. Love him.
LOL my son and I do too!
Obambi and Her Thighness in State are going to have their hands full.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A new “Buy American” push in President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan is sparking protests about protectionism from US trading partners.
Passage of the 819 billion dollar economic stimulus package Wednesday by the US House of Representatives raised hackles in Europe and Canada, the United States’s biggest trading partner.
Obama has pushed for swift passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as vital to prevent the collapse of the US economy, reeling from the global financial crisis that has thwarted governments’ unprecedented actions to ease the turmoil.
The legislation’s package of tax cuts and spending has moved to the Senate, where lawmakers are working on their own version of the plan.
The bulk of the bill’s spending is aimed at bringing aging infrastructure into the 21st century to preserve and improve the country’s long-term competitiveness in the global economy, creating millions of jobs in the process.
The sweep of projects is broad, from roads, rail, bridges, airports and dams to military construction and housing, among others.
The House-approved plan’s “Buy American” provision generally prohibits the purchase of foreign iron and steel for any infrastructure project in the bill.
The European Union’s trade commissioner, Catherine Ashton, pre-emptively voiced concern about the US measure.
“We are looking into the situation. ... Before we have the final text ... it would be premature to take a stance on it,” Ashton’s spokesman, Peter Power, said in Brussels.
“However, the one thing we can be absolutely certain about, is if a bill is passed which prohibits the sale or purchase of European goods on American territory, that is something we will not stand idly by and ignore,” he said.
Canada’s government said it is concerned about US protectionism in the economic stimulus and its diplomats were lobbying US makers against the “Buy American” drive.
“We’re always concerned when there are protectionist pressures in the United States,” Industry Minister Tony Clement told public broadcaster CBC.
“At the same time the United States has treaty obligations,” he said, citing US membership in the World Trade Organization and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
“And we expect the United States to live up to its treaty obligations of open and fair trade.”
About 40 percent of Canadian steel is sold in the United States and Canada imports steel from its southern neighbor.
I do not believe that even with the "insider help" from the very worst of the dimocrats in selecting the repub candidate...could we have done worse than mcidiot!
The most terrible thing that happened (other than having mcidiot as the candidate) was that we then selected Ms. Palin as his running mate; and she then died along with him.
What a terrible waste!
Another candidate like mcidiot!!! Perish the thought!
I thought it was required to keep ALL federal buildings at 68 degrees or some BS like that.
I’m so glad rush has been out there during all of this.....makes a difference...
Obama warms up the White House after telling the rest of us to stay cold. HA!
Speak it for us RUSH!
We Love you!
Rush, it’s called BOHICA
