You know, this is another one of those busy broadcast days where I realize just how much this country needs me.
That country cannot do without me.
And I just want you people to know that I know it.
Great to have you back, Rush Limbaugh, with a half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address rush from EIBnet.com.
I want to remind you, so we talked about the last hour, because there's now a little bit of an additional story to add to this.
A liberal nonprofit from the Bay Area, actually from Oakland, this nonprofit's name is Exhale.
You remember they've come up with this unique line of electronic greeting cards that they're designed as nonpartisan.
They're for women who have had abortions.
After abortion greeting cards.
When I first heard this, I said, oh, you're going to have greeting cards for the victims of abortion.
I caught myself because the victim of the abortion, of course, is the fetus.
I'd always heard all of my life that abortion was akin to a disease, a threatened life of the mother, unviable tissue mass.
Now this outfit wants to send out sympathy cards for the official sacrament of liberalism, which is what abortion is.
And of course, we came up with some of our own cards.
They've got the story details some of what their cards are, but apparently you can make your own.
And they say they want bipartisan cards.
So we thought that the one thing they don't offer is a card to the father.
There's a father in every abortion.
And the, you know, how about this card from the fetus, the aborted fetus, to the father, I'm off to stem cell research.
You're off the hook.
Meaning for financial support down the road.
And there's other roses are red.
The poems.
They got coming up with a book of poems.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Sorry we ran out of plan B and had to abort you.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
See you later.
I aborted you.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
I'm still alive.
Too bad about you.
There's any number of ways here.
They've got potty training cards, all kinds of things here to commemorate glorious events and anniversaries.
Again, the name of the group is Exhale.
So I came across this story.
This is from LifesightNews.com.
A history of abortion is associated with more frequent acts of physical aggression towards subsequent children, according to a new study published in the Internet Journal of Pediatrics and Neonatology.
The findings are drawn from an analysis of data on 237 low-income women in Baltimore who had physically mistreated or neglected at least one of their children or allowed somebody else to do so.
Researchers controlled for a history of miscarriage or stillbirth, as well as for family history, aggression with a woman's partner, and other key factors.
While all the women in the study had some connection with child maltreatment or neglect, the authors found that those who reported a history of abortion reported significantly more frequent acts of physical violence such as slapping, hitting, or beating directed at their children.
Priscilla Coleman, professor of human development family studies at Bowling Green State U, lead authorette of the study, suggested that the link between abortion and child abuse may be influenced by a number of key factors, including unresolved grief.
And see, this is where the sympathy E cards could come in handy to absolve the guilt and the grief.
Having felt pressured into an unwanted abortion, yeah, by who?
Probably the predatory male involved in the relationship.
And disruption in maternal bonding with subsequently born children.
Now, I have to admit to you, ladies and gentlemen, I'm a little confused here.
I sort of believed the feminazis when they demanded abortion rights.
And of course, you remember Jocelyn Elder's big phrase, every chow a planned and wanted chow.
And of course, if you didn't plan it and you didn't want it, then it's off to Planned Parenthood.
And now we've got Exhale with their sympathy cards.
That is, if we let women abort the kids that they don't want, they'd be sure to treat the surviving children well.
And the incidence of child abuse and neglect would be lowered.
Every chow a planned and wanted chow.
So we assume if you're a woman who goes against an abortion and you have another kid, another pregnancy, and you don't abort, that that's planned and wanted.
Now, they don't be planned, but if you don't abort it, it might be wanted.
But somehow it didn't work out that way, did it?
Who would have thought, ladies and gentlemen?
I mean, they're out there trying to destroy the family structure.
I maintain to you, they're even trying to do that with this Al Gore movie.
I am sorry to keep talking about this, but folks, when you, and this is happening in Palm Beach County, when your little 11-year-old gets set off to school, forced to watch Al Gore's stupid propaganda movie, by the way, the polar bear scene in this movie, they couldn't even find a real polar bear suffering.
It's animated.
It's a step up from a cartoon.
Anyway, when the school tells the parents they have to come watch this, or their kids might suffer grade consequences.
Not grave, but grade consequences.
What if the parents in the home are doing a damn good job or trying to of forming their kids according to their own personal beliefs?
What if the some parents probably don't do this as well as others, but some do.
And what happens if they bring the parents in there?
You're trying to destroy what's going on in the home as well as what happens at Scroll.
I mean, there's no question the left has been trying to destroy the family structure and redefine it.
And this does it more than we originally imagined.
I guess the consequences were just on the test.
So much, so much.
Why is it that everything the left demands is full of unintended consequences like this?
All right, moving on.
Global warming stack.
Nobody's aborting any elements of that.
It just keeps shut up, Al.
I wasn't through talking.
The stack keeps growing.
Did you hear Al Gore just exhaled?
Did you hear that?
He just exhaled.
Oh, yeah.
I have to tell you, the original version of that, Louis Armstrong, I just love Louis Armstrong.
There's a part of me wish I was alive when Louie was hot.
That man had more talent than I have in my little finger.
Sammy Davis Jr. did too.
What was that big Sammy Davis Jr. song you were telling me about?
Happy Times, Happy Days, Feeling Good.
You ever heard of Sammy Davis Jr. sing Feeling Good?
You ever heard of that song?
I haven't.
I don't either.
It's supposedly some big classic that some new cover artist is doing.
What's this guy's name, Bubble?
Michael Bublay.
Oh, I thought it was Bubble.
Michael Bubble.
Anyway, on the Global Warming Update Stack, a survey on climate change conducted in more than a dozen countries found that a majority of people in nations, including South Korea, Australia, Iran, and Mexico, but not the United States, view global warming as a critical threat.
Thank you, Rush.
Folks, this is what I mean by my country needing me.
If I weren't here on this, you realize how many of you people would have been duped simply because you are open receptacles for guilt.
In the U.S., about 46% of those questions said global warming is critical.
Four in 10 labeled it an important but not critical threat.
Survey conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and worldpublicopinion.org in cooperation with other polling organizations.
Among the other countries where the question was asked, the Ukraine was the only nation with less than 4 in 10 participants who found global warming to be a critical threat.
It was 33% there.
The survey released last Thursday, or Tuesday, sorry, yesterday, was first conducted in the U.S., China, and India.
When organizations in other countries expressed interest, the effort was expanded.
So we still have hope out there.
Less than 50% think that it's a serious critical threat.
Again, thank you, Rush.
Jennifer Garner.
You know, folks, I have to tell you, remember when Walter Payton died?
Number 34, the Chicago Bears.
I'll never forget Virginia McCasky, the daughter of George Hellis, at a press conference after Walter Payton had died in tears.
And she said, this is why I have tried to make it a practice not to get personally close to the players.
And this next story is why it is foolish to fantasize about, to hope to get close to actors.
Jennifer Garner and her empty-headed husband, Ben Affleckion, they want more kids.
She says she and her husband definitely want their daughter, who was born in December 205, to have some brothers and sisters.
Plan to start trying after Jennifer finishes her latest act.
I loved her in alias.
This just tears me apart to learn that she's a blithering idiot.
She cries.
Folks, the summation of this, she cries for her daughter and herself over global warming.
She actually is reduced to tears.
She cries now more than ever before since she's a mother.
Since I've become a mother, I cry more because I care about things more.
I can't watch a movie where something happens to a child.
I've always cared about global warming, and now there seems to be an urgency about them, and she's reduced to tears.
And carbon credits, ladies and gentlemen, one of the biggest scams to come down the pike in a long time, carbon credits.
The creators of the carbon credit scheme are cashing in on it.
The two creators of the carbon scheme are Morris Strong and Al Gore.
Now, the name Morris Strong is not widely known in general public circles, but Morris Strong is one of the wealthiest and most private manipulators of world politics.
He was in charge of the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
Remember, we sent, we had a correspondent down there, the former Washington State Governor Dixie Lee Rae, went down there, and she had fallen out of favor, the environmentalist wackos.
Let me just give you a quote from Morris Strong, who was heading up the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.
Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?
In this little quote, you have the encapsulation of the entire purpose of the global warming movement or any liberal movement.
Look at their enemies.
They want to destroy Walmart.
They want to destroy big oil.
Now they're upset over Halliburton moving to Dubai.
You know, I was at Sheila Jackson League yesterday.
She's all upset.
Halliburton's leaving because they're in her district.
Hey, Sheila, don't worry about it.
Those are jobs Americans won't do.
Just get some more illegal immigrants in here and keep Halliburton fully populated and their remaining little office space in Houston.
What's the big deal?
Why the panic?
Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?
Morris Strong, Al Gore's partner in the invention, the creation of the carbon offset scam.
Story is from the Canada Free Press.
You have green money founding or funding and when to bail out of stocks.
And the story is long.
We'll try to link to it at rushlimbaugh.com so that you can see the whole thing.
I don't have time to read it all to you, but it prints out five pages.
But Morris Strong, born April 29th, 1929, Oak Lake, Manitoba, together with George Soros, he is attempting to organize export of the Chevy Automobile to China.
He was a senior advisor to Kofi Annan and working in the background as an advisor to powerful world figures.
He's been featured in a number of conspiracy theories.
CBC reporter Anne-Marie McDonald described him as a cross between Ras Putin and Machiavelli.
But he and Al Gore created the whole carbon offset scam.
What a carbon offset is basically this.
You have your carbon footprint, the way you live your life, your house, how you travel, what you eat, and so forth.
You can actually go to a website and calculate it.
And let's say your carbon offset, just conservatively speaking, is the fact this website will allow you to, if your carbon offset, I did it three different ways.
The interesting thing about this website, I cannot put in my actual data.
It doesn't account for things that large.
But my carbon offset would be bigger than Gore's.
So let's say I, and my carbon offset's calculated to be whatever it is.
I can send this company the money, and they claim to go out and plant trees or invest in an Al Gore-owned company with Morris Strong that will then in turn invest in companies that pollute less and so forth and allow me to continue to make my same carbon footprint.
That's what Al Gore's doing with his mansion in Nashville.
So the people are planting trees, but nobody's reducing, no leftists are reducing their actual amounts of pollution.
Oh, no, no.
And they are to be praised for this.
And it's a total scam.
Anyway, Boston Globe even has a story about it today.
Carbon confusion, buying emission offsets is a challenge for consumers.
This is about a woman named Sarah Demetri or Demetri who went out and did this and found out it was a total scam.
Back in just a second.
I'm way along here.
We'll be back.
What's this babe's name out at Exhale?
Aspen Baker.
There it is.
Aspen Baker, the founder and executive director of Exhale.
Aspen, we can continue to provide this woman with ideas here to expand her thriving abortion sympathy card business.
Aspen, try this.
Surely any woman getting an abortion Would like a little gift along with the card.
I mean, the cards, one thing, the e-card especially.
I mean, you can't even, some of these animated e-cards can't even print them out.
You just got to look at them over there.
You need something he can hold and touch.
And we here at the EIB network, which means me, have come up with a fabulous idea for you, Aspen, and that is, in addition to the E-card, every, well, you give the option for donors to provide a lifetime supply of carbon credits for all the carbon footprints not left by the aborted child.
You could send certificates along with the abortion card.
The simple thing is send, you know, lifetime carbon, but based on your lifestyle, how many, you know, what you have, great hopes for the kid that was aborted, what his carbon footprint would be.
And you can live guilt-free in two levels.
Continue to pollute.
Nobody worried about it.
By the way, scientists are getting death threats for climate denial.
Scientists who question mankind's impact on climate change have received death threats.
By the way, Herman Kane, I got it.
Herman Kaine had a great line.
He said, of course, liberals have to believe that man caused global warming.
Man's the only element on earth that can pay taxes.
No question, God would love to, or liberals would love to send God a tax bill.
But the problem for liberals is that sending God a tax bill, they wouldn't know where to find it.
Absolutely, your guiding light and living legend.
America's real anchor man, truth detector, doctor of democracy, all combined as one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
El Rushball at 800-282-2882.
From the Politico-Democrat Party split on domestic plan, meaning their plan for anything not to do with Iraq.
But the thrust of the story is it's not a pressing issue right now.
Iraq's taking all the oxygen, oxygen, and so they got a problem here.
They do have a domestic agenda, but it's going nowhere because they're so occupied with Iraq.
Although they have agreed on a 2008 budget that would not touch war funding and would not touch the Bush tax cuts.
Now, wait to the kooks on the Democrat fringe here about this.
Going to leave Bush tax cuts intact in the 2008, the Democrats version of the budget.
And about that, here's the New York Times headline: Senate Democrats offer spending plan, but no way to pay for it.
What does that ever matter to a Democrat?
Now, this is a fascinating story here.
Washington Post, as you know, the left is just targeting the No Child Left Behind Act.
It's got to go.
The unions don't like it.
Nobody likes it.
Unions are lobbying to reduce the 100% proficiency target.
And that's what bothers everybody about this.
No Child Left Behind landmark federal education law sets a lofty standard that all students tested in reading and math will reach grade levels by 2014.
Even when the law was enacted five years ago, almost nobody believed that standard was realistic.
Lamar Alexander said, What are we going to rewrite the Declaration of Independence?
Say only 85% of men are equal?
What's happening is that critics, including some teachers' unions, many testing experts, view the law as a forced march toward an impossible education nirvana.
Imagine liberals rejecting the whole concept of nirvana, rejecting the whole concept of a utopia.
So they're out there lobbying Congress to reduce this 100% target and delay the 2014 deadline.
I'll make a deal with them.
I'll be glad to make a deal.
Fair enough.
So we can stop with this 100% health care coverage then for every child in America.
I mean, if we're not going to have utopia in the performance of children in schools in education, which liberals have been in their mantra is education, health care, education, healthcare.
And how about ending poverty?
Well, let's eliminate the whole goal of 100% elimination of poverty.
And how about this?
Let's eliminate this whole notion of 100% carbon neutral footprints.
You guys want to play the game?
Be glad to.
Ted Turner apologized yesterday for comments he made about China and Chinese people before the Bay Area Council last week in a talk on global warming.
Bay Area leaders objected to his use of the term Chinaman.
When asked before an audience of 1,000 business and community leaders last Thursday about how to win China's cooperation in global warming, Turner said, Chinese are very smart.
Just think, you ever met a dumb Chinaman?
Very seldom do you see Chinese restaurants closed, he said.
I'm in the restaurant business, very tough.
They work very hard, those Chinamen.
It is a slur.
I'll tell you how I learned it.
Turner said he didn't know.
He did not know the term was derogatory.
Come on.
Libs like to play the ignorance card.
You know, I went to Sacramento in 1984 from Kansas City, and that turned out to be my big showbiz break.
But it wouldn't have happened had Morton Downey Jr. not been fired for calling a Chinese member, a Chinese-American member of the Sacramento City Council or something, a Chinaman and refused to apologize.
Town was in an uproar.
And that's 1984.
That's sometime in the spring, summertime 1984.
All right, back to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting, as they always do, because it's a thrill to be on this program.
Charlie in Inverness, Florida, great to have you with us, sir.
Gitto's Maha Rushi.
Thank you, sir.
It's an honor, I'll tell you.
Listen, we seem to be fighting these concert brush fires with no fire department other than you and a few others.
Americans are wondering what the heck is going on.
Are the Republicans stupid, inept, maybe just in it for the money?
Because they sure aren't thinking about this country.
What are you referring, excuse me, specifically to?
Well, just recently with this judge make-believe fiasco.
All right.
Let's talk about that.
The firing of the U.S. attorneys, you mean.
Because unfortunately, we can't fire judges.
But the president can fire U.S. attorneys.
And your question is: what are the Republicans doing when?
I don't know.
I've got a number of theories, and I'll explain them to you again.
And particularly in the U.S. attorney thing, you have to understand the Democrats are oriented toward forcing Bush out of office if they can.
It ain't going to happen, but that's their objective.
The second objective is to isolate the president from his own party with issues and try to play everything he does is a scandal.
Everything he does is a crime.
Everything he does is unethical, making it tough for Republicans to defend him because we're only, what, not a year and a half to whatever it is, away from the election of 2008, and the Republicans are afraid if they tie themselves to the president, they'll go down in a heap.
As I pointed out today, that's not necessary.
You don't have to defend the president in order to attack Democrats.
Now, the question just becomes, well, why don't they attack Democrats?
That what the most frequent answer I get when I ask Republicans in Washington is, well, we never get any coverage.
The only time we get any coverage is when we do anything rotten and so forth.
So we can say all we want, nobody would cover it.
Nah, I don't buy that.
There's any number of ways, especially in this hot-button issue of the firing of these eight U.S. attorneys to be heard.
I think there's an absence of conservative leadership, elected conservative leadership.
But I frankly, I haven't heard any of the U.S. Republican presidential candidates weigh in on this.
This is such a golden opportunity, especially with Mrs. Bill Clinton painting a target on both the front and back of her muMoo.
Her husband got rid of 93 U.S. attorneys.
Two of them, important one was working on Whitewater.
That's the one in Little Rock, and that was the real target to get rid of that person.
And Jay Stevens in Chicago, who said he was 30 days from indicting Dan Ross Denkowski.
And I also think they live in Washington, that town's run by the liberals, both politically, power-wise, and socially.
And you cannot, I keep saying this, you cannot disregard that.
The power of social structures, who's in, who's out, matters, especially where you live half the year or longer.
Why they don't avail themselves of the opportunity is something we can only guess at.
And we try to conjole them and give them guidance here and show them the way as to how to do it.
But it happens, but very rarely and never in a coordinated way as it does with the Democrats.
So I understand your frustration.
We've been talking about it all day.
And frankly, I told Snerdly, Bo Snergly, the official screener's calls, terminate these calls because all the criticism ended up coming at me.
I'm the one guy doing something.
Everybody's complaining and whining at me about this.
And it's run the gamut.
You're carrying the water for these people when you said you wouldn't, which, of course, I'm not.
If I were carrying the water, I'd be defending their lack of action.
Others have said, well, you're not doing enough.
Now we're back to that.
And I don't, you know, I, as you people well know, I don't like talking about myself.
I'm very uncomfortable with that.
And when I become the issue here, then we're heading down the wrong road, especially when I become the issue on the basis of phony, false, baseless allegations, which most of them today have been.
Charlie, appreciate the call.
Johnson City, Tennessee.
Cindy, hello, madam, and welcome.
Hey, Russ.
Nice to speak to you, sir.
It's an honor.
Thank you very much.
Nice to have you with us.
I want to thank you first to you and my common-law brother-in-law for saving me from the left.
And just wanted to comment on Senator Edwards not appearing on Fox News.
Yes.
Because they're not fair to the left.
That's BS.
That's not why they're doing it.
Rush, the left bashes the right every bloody day on most news stations, radio stations, TV stations in our schools, streets, my family.
And it really pisses me off and just proves that Ann Coulter was spot on about Senator Edwards.
That's all I got to say.
Can I say that?
Yeah, you just did.
Well, okay.
You just did, and I had my finger poised after you described urination.
I had my fingers poised on the Deetle button.
But you recovered.
All right.
You recovered.
Basically, Edwards is a wuss.
What are these people afraid of?
Can't take tough questions from Chris Wallace, Britt Hume.
I don't understand.
Can't tell you what it's...
These people...
Look at, this is, this is, I know this is tough talk, but it's, I mean, the simplest way to convey a point is with the fewest words possible.
Brevity is the soul of wort, of wit, saith Shakespeare.
They are Stalinists.
They are simply intolerant of an opposing point of view.
Look it.
They own ABC, CBS, NBC, PMS, NBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the LA Times, the San Francisco Papers, the Chicago, they own it all, and yet they claim that they live in a media infested with a conservative majority.
They've had it so easy for so long.
They've had this lapdog, slavish little media that has given them no challenges over the years.
The last 50 years, these people have had a house organ in the drive-by media.
All of a sudden, they are subject now to criticism by new media, and that's just not tolerable.
And so they want to bring the fairness doctrine back to silence talk radio.
They want to try to marginalize Fox.
But don't forget this.
Some audience research company, I don't have a name here at my fingertips, surveyed the Fox audience, very scientific, respected bunch.
Only 38% of the Fox News audience describes itself as conservative.
Therefore, the 62% of the non-conservative audience to Fox News is still larger than the audience CNN gets.
And by definition, the audience PMS NBC gets.
And by definition, the audience Headline News gets.
And by definition, the audience CNBC gets.
And I thought the idea was when you had ideas that you really believe in.
And you think your ideas are what this country needs, you go to where people don't believe you and you try to get through to them.
That would be the Avenue Fox.
They have a lot of people that watch.
Nevada's moved up its Democrat primary early on.
This would be a way to expose that, but they caved.
They say it's to the kook fringe bloggers and so forth, I think.
So I don't think there's any distinction between the bloggers and the people that run the party.
It's all one machine, the podestas, the ram emanuals, and so forth.
Be right back, folks.
Don't go away.
Quick, quick, quick, snurdly.
Title of this tune.
And away out of space, Billy Preston.
You remember this one, Dawn?
It was big in Pittsburgh.
Hell, it was big everywhere.
You remember it, Brian?
Brian.
Well, you have an excuse.
Welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh.
Well, he was in the gym.
EIB Network 800-282-2882.
Thanks, Billy.
Good.
All right.
Do you remember the left, the anti-war left, had one of their pathetic little anti-war protests in Washington?
Seems like it was this year.
The time is really, really flying.
Anyway, there was this code pink babe that went to the microphone and said this.
Do you remember?
We women of the United States have a very clear message for every single presidential candidate, including or especially Hillary Clinton.
And we women say, Paul Out.
No!
Does that not remind you guys of your first and second wives?
Maybe even thirds.
Pull out now.
All right, we got news from Kuwait.
The rate of killings of U.S. troops in Iraq has been on the decline, down by 60% since the launch of the new security measures in Baghdad.
This, according to statistics revealed by the Multinational Force Iraq Combined Press Information Center, only 17 members of the U.S. military in Iraq have been killed since February 14th till March the 13th, compared to 42 from January 13th to February 13th.
So the rate was on the decline during the first month of the security crackdown, called the surge.
So the bottom line here is the surge is working.
I hope I'm not speaking out of school.
Matt Drudge sent me an email this morning that after he posted this story, he started getting death threats and hate mail from kooks accusing him of lying and putting out this kind of news.
And Drudge said, you know, it wasn't until, and it was a plethora of a lie.
It wasn't until I started getting all these that I actually realized that you are right.
They do want to lose.
And that's a great point, too.
I've had a number of my friends, you know, these famous dinner parties I describe going to in Connecticut and down here.
I mentioned Connecticut only because those are the worst.
Well, they're the most challenging.
The people up there are just depressed as they can be.
At any rate, recently somebody said, do you really think the Democrats want to lose?
Now, these are smart people, people that know me very well, intimately, not in the biblical sense, but nevertheless, intimately.
And they still think I'm going a little over the top.
Yes, they want to lose.
They are invested in it.
They own defeat.
Foe, you understand politically, the worst thing that can happen for these people is for the surge to work.
The worst thing that can happen would be for this Iraq war to end in a victory.
The Democrats are so far out, they can't come back and claim any credit for it whatsoever.
They cannot permit victory to take place.
They just can't.
And so any news like this that gets publicized, whoever's responsible for it is going to hear from these kooks, from the fringe.
Frank and Old Forge, Pennsylvania, I have about a minute and 10 seconds, but I wanted to get to you since you've been holding.
Thanks, Rush.
In what other industry do you have escalating cost and declining results?
The No Child Left Behind is an effort to go ahead and put some standards in place that we can all live up to, like the fuel economy standard.
I think it's a great movement that hopefully we're able to hang on to because our educators and usually our administration are against it.
They call it an unfunded mandate rush.
Well, isn't it true that the not you're right, by the way, about all these escalating costs with declining results, which results in even more money demands.
But isn't it true that the teachers and the teachers' unions, I guess, really don't like this because it requires standards for them too?
Right, exactly.
It's like the fuel economy standard.
We all want to get better fuel mileage.
We all want a better education.
And we're paying for it, Rush, whether we're getting it or not.
The cost is there.
Well, exactly.
We all want 100% health care coverage for all the children of America.
Let's negotiate that down to 75% and then let the libs choose the 25% that don't get it.
Well, it's a common mantra of educators and also the administrations of the No Child Left Behind.
When it first came out, it was like screaming bloody murder.
I think it's somewhat subsided, but let's not give in or give up.
Let's raise the standards.
Thank you, Frank.
Got to run because of the constraints of time.
Be right back here, folks.
All right, folks, have to hit the road.
Other things to do.
But never fear.
Back in 21 hours, all revved up to deal with whatever insanity happens between now and then.
