I listened to most of Rush today but I missed the comments on a tax increase.

I'll bet anything he was being tongue-in-cheek.

I recorded hours 1 and 2 at work Thursday and then listened to both hours while out jogging afterwards. The first mention was in the next to last segment of hour #1 I think. I think the second reference was near the end of hour #2. I'm trying to remember where I was in my jog when I heard them, and that way I can estimate where I was in the tape.

I'll transcribe the 2 mentions of tax increases and post them. If I have time I'll encode them in RealAudio and put them online.

He wasn't joking. I've been a regular listener since 1989 and I've laughed through all his hoaxes, soccer being one of the funniest, to hear the outrage of the callers, but on this one he was serious.

He mentioned again Thursday that he had spoken with Karl Rove on Tuesday or Wednesday morning about the EPA global warming fiasco, and I'm wondering if Rove asked him to float a trial balloon for increased taxes on his show and see what the response might be.

So far it appears that there is no response. I'm amazed that nobody on FR has mentioned it.
