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).
Wonder what happend to the contracts Rush and Hannity had with GM. Remember, they were preaching GM to the hilt?

March 11, 2010 Goldman Sachs: Financial Reform - The White House vs Goldman Sachs
April 19, 2010 10:17 PM EDT (Updated: April 20, 2010 11:16 PM EDT)
The gloves have come off. The White House and Goldman Sachs, who have long been in lock step on financial policy, are now, according to political blogger Taegan Goddard, gearing up for "all out war".
Certainly the conflict revolves around the SEC's fraud prosecution of Goldman Sachs, announced last week, but that is just the tip of the iceberg in this grudge match.
The fraud prosecution PR battle is just a part of the larger war on Capitol Hill over the financial reform bill. The president is scheduled to give a major speech on the ills of Wall Street and the pressing need for financial reform at New York's Cooper Union on Thursday. And Obama and the White House are trying to leverage the anti-Goldman sentiment created by news of the fraud investigation to gain as much political advantage as possible.
They are going full bore - a Google search using the words "Goldman Sachs" and "SEC" yields among its top sponsored links a BarackObama.com ad promoting the financial reform bill, as noted by the Los Angeles Times. Goldman has also come up with their own search link that sends users using the same two search terms to the company's response to the SEC's fraud complaint.
Goldman is fighting the PR war on several fronts. CEO Lloyd Blankfein sent out a voicemail to Goldman's employees over the weekend. He emphasized the main talking points in Goldman's PR campaign: that the senior management condoned none of the alleged misrepresentations of Goldman's role in the disputed deals, and that Goldman had actually lost money on the deals in question.
The SEC complaint alleges that bankers involved with a Goldman fund named Abacus were short-selling CDOs — ie., betting they would fail — while the bank also promoted them to clients. The New York Times also published a report today saying that disputes in 2006 between the Goldman executives heading Abacus and other Goldman leaders concerning the future of the housing market reached high levels of Goldman management. even perhaps as high as Blankfein's office.
Who will be Pittsburgh’s QB?
Got me.
I agree, the part about just being able to sit in the stands and watch was a lot less stressful. My son finished his scholastic athletic career in HS, no college sports for him. Good luck to your son on his Rugby career!
They brought Leftwich back to town today, so . . .
OMG, where is the link to what Rush just read.. I NEED to send THAT to my kids
I didn't see the ad and I only went to that link once.
Since I'm on dial up, I guess I can use a different IP every day. ha ha ha
A Senate committee on Wednesday passed a proposal aimed at helping protect the economy from future meltdowns and taxpayers from more Wall Street bailouts.
The Senate Agricultural Committee voted 13-8 in favor of the bill, which would impose regulations on the complex system of Wall Street trades known as derivatives. Senate leaders now will look at merging the measure with a financial regulations reform bill already passed by the Senate Banking Committee that is headed for debate by the full chamber.

Saints and Vikings open the season. That might be amusing.
