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 hes not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (thats 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! Americas 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 dothats host. Get ready to what you were born to dothats listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
I haven’t... but this is a great cartoon.

What Rush was just talking about:
Rasmussen- 54% say pass NO health care bill this year [66% Independents]
Rasmussen reports ^ | 8/15/09
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2316770/posts
...Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats say passing the legislation in Congress would be the best course of action. However, 80% of Republicans take the opposite view. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 23% would like the Congressional reform to pass while 66% would rather the legislators take no action.

SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY... IT STILL OBAMACARE!

It is Absolutely a Ruse!
Dick Morris has been very clear that Obama will stop at nothing to push this bill through.
Also Michael D. Tanner writing in an article posted on the CATO Institute website www.cato.org
article at http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10440
points out that the Government of the Obama Administration has no difficulty whatsoever in stretching definitions into utter deception.
The compromise health-care reform being negotiated by six members of the Senate Finance Committee is shaping up as a classic warning of the dangers of bipartisanship without principles: It looks like theyll keep the worst features of other Obama Care bills but simply change the names.
Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Sens. Kent Conrad (D-ND), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Olympia Snowe (R-Me.) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) are reportedly putting the final touches on a bill that may save President Obamas chances for passing health-care reform this year....
First, instead of a government-run public option, it would set up a nationwide health-insurance co-op.
Now, if this was really going to be a co-op like rural electrical co-ops or your local health-food store owned and controlled by its workers and the people who use its services it would be a meaningless but harmless diversion.
...But these arent true co-ops. The members wouldnt choose its officers the president would. Plus, the secretary of Health and Human Services would have to approve its business plan, and thus could force it to offer whatever benefits, premiums and reimbursement schedules Washington wants. Finally, the federal government would provide start up, and possibly ongoing, subsidies.
A co-op run by the federal government, under rules imposed by the federal government and with federal funding is simply government-run health insurance by another name.
Or, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put it, Were going to have some type of public option, call it co-op, call it what you want.
In Short: This Administration & its Cronies in the House & Senate, as well as the complicit media, are more than happy to NOW label the option formerly known as the Public Option a Co-op instead. The media will be pleased to present moving diagrams showing pictures of people representing the Co-op as if its your friendly neighborhood grocery group a group you REALLY trust. A group made up of your friends and your favorite neighbor.
The elegance of the RUSE is that its REALLY the very SAME thing as the Public Option, but in a different, brightly-colored package...
Late in bttt !!
I always liked the sports “cliche’” for breakin 90 or 80
..” the difference in a 90 and an 89 is 5 strokes and the difference in an 80 and a 79 is 10 strokes”
loloolololol
I love cardinals too....Have had 15 pair in the back yard at the same time at the feeder, goldfinches, dove, sparrows, wrens, woodpeckers, at the same time too.....the smallest card was the meanest at the feeder.....so I put out more seed in other locations. Most all the female cardinals eat off the ground for some reason.
I hope you have a bar room.
And a 39 back!
Congrats!
My criticism of Woodstock applies only to the mass media that presumes to speak for me. The musical taste of FReepers such as LS (who backed Jimi Hendrix IIRC) do not concern me in the least.
BUT, when the USPS went into the package delivery business in 1913 they wiped out all the private competition at that time. To say health insurance companies can survive that don't get free money or don't have to make a profit is complete BS. Apples and Oranges is right!
Shooting an honest 78 is a real achievement. Congratulations.
The difference between 85 and 78 is about 2 years and lots of wet balls. :>)
I really like this little cardinal guy. We feed our backyard squirrels and I always put out some seed just for him. I was impressed that he was always hanging around the squirrel feeders, never giving up!
I wasn’t talking about “musical taste.”
Dylan was not at Woodstock.
Not sure about Dillon, tho, he might have been.
my bar “room” is a LazyBoy recliner
Cardinals are jays, but not as cantankerous as the blue jays. The smallest card I refereed to would sometimes buzz the squirrels to get them off the feeder. I have to idle the feeder every 3 years for a season or 2 as the coon population comes around to often then and now we have a rabies outbreak in the area since the beginning of the year. I’ll put the feeder back on line come Thanksgiving.
tanks !
credit where it’s due tho.......got a set of 09 Taylor Made Burner irons and for the 1st time...had them custom fitted.....all 11 irons.....
cannot begin to tell the difference in fitted clubs vs off the shelf
Our squirrels are on controlled feeding. They’re very used to feeding times (morning and afternoon) and they don’t let the food stay around long enough for any other animals to get it. They get mostly unsalted, in-shell peanuts.
Here is a link to Betsy McCaughey’s website. It is a great place to find out what they are up to with these health care bills: http://www.defendyourhealthcare.us/
