Time Text
Hang on here a minute, folks.
I'm printing out the NPR story on this garlic thing in Rome.
Just a second.
The show prep never stops here at the EIB network.
It's constantly rolling in.
We're constantly researching.
We're doing it for you.
Hang on.
Here's this thing.
All right, there we go.
Two of them, not a compare.
We're back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to be on the show, 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBnet.com.
By the way, we're doing Open Line Friday and Thursday today because once again, ladies and gentlemen, I will be not here tomorrow.
And many of you, we had a couple callers referenced that this week.
And what are you nodding your head about in there?
You got a guy on the phone who's all Darlie's Wick.
That's right.
That's what I was talking about.
The one guy's particularly perturbed.
And let me, folks, I'm doing this for you.
I'm taking a couple of Fridays rather than a bunch of full weeks.
I just decided to do it, though.
I've got in August, I've got a golf trip.
I'm going to Hawaii.
What just fell on me?
Something coming out of the ceiling at me.
Must be my belt automatically tightening a notch.
I've got one of these auto-belt tighteners for every time I lose weight, so I don't have to do it myself.
Any rate, I got a full week coming up in August toward the end of August when everybody's on vacation anyway, going to Hawaii for a golf trip.
But they're just doing it this way rather than take a full week here to full week there during these important times.
So that's what's up with that.
Let's see, what do we got here?
All right, here's the NPR version of the garlic story.
In Italy, a debate is raging among chefs and diners about eliminating garlic.
Critics say the herb stinks.
And over who critics?
That's another favorite word that drive-by media journalists, you critics.
Is a critic credible?
Just because somebody, I'll bet you it's four people.
Just like the bunch that we have here.
Center for Science and the Public Interest, two people in a fax machine, and the drive-bys love them.
Put out a press release saying, no more monosodium glutamate.
It's bad for you.
No more Chinese foods.
Bad for you.
They try to get it banned for everybody else.
Who cares who they are and what they say?
Oh, they're scientists, Rush.
Well, that doesn't mean anything either these days.
Scientists, politicians, it's all the same thing.
The debate starts in the center of Rome at La Tratoria restaurant, one of the city's trendiest restaurants, known for its innovative Sicilian cuisine.
The chef there, Filippo La Mantia, has shunned garlic as the basis of his dishes in favor of other natural ingredients like citrus and herbs.
He says that garlic is a leftover from when Italians were poor, used it to flavor their meager victuals.
He says the average standard of living is high enough today that people can do without it.
Italians consumed 108 million pounds of garlic in 2006, a 4% increase over the previous year.
Now, the chef's innovations here have triggered a campaign to rid garlic from the Italian dining table.
Supporters include a prominent TV journalist.
I knew it.
I'm reading this.
You're hearing it as I'm hearing it.
A prominent TV journalist who is writing a guide to garlic-free restaurants and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who was known to insist that his staff have meant scented breath.
But the campaign faces an uphill battle from average Italians who say they have history on their side.
Going to talk about the Greek playwright Aristophanes advised athletes to eat garlic to increase their endurance during competition.
The Roman poet Virgil said garlic increased sexual potency.
And, of course, it also does other great health things as well.
Let's see.
Indeed, toward the end of the story, garlic does carry a stigma, says Anna Marie Tozzi, owner of the Montevecchio restaurant.
She says the herb should be used in moderation despite its odorous after-effects.
There are lots of prejudices that people who eat and smell of garlic are second class, backward, unsophisticated.
It's a class thing for many people.
All right.
Now that helps me to understand this.
So you got the Italian elites who are leading this movement.
It doesn't sound like there are too many of them.
You got the Italian elites who are trying to get this in.
The AP story probably says much the same thing.
Look at this headline, the epic narcissism of Cindy Sheehan.
This is from The Guardian, the UK Guardian.
And the pull quote, here, actually, the pull quotes, the opening line, even the American left's net roots are getting tired of Cindy Sheehan.
And this is all about the fact that she's out there saying that the people at the couple of these websites will not let her post anymore because she's apparently being traitorous, running against Nancy Pelosi.
You know, the people on the left who are getting tired of Cindy Sheehan, the epic narcissism, they created her.
You know, I think this is an example, folks, and I'm being dead serious here, of the cruelty these people can exude.
Here you have this woman who lost her son.
There's obviously something, something's not right here.
I mean, there's a elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.
And plus, you combine that with she's got some emotional problems, obviously.
And a PR firm in San Francisco pretty much set her up as this big critic, and they used her.
They used her as a tool.
They put their words in her mouth.
They may have been in her mouth anyway.
She may have felt that, but they're the ones that built her up.
And the media goes wherever she went.
And the cameras were there.
And they made her a star in her own mind.
And of course, our culture today, everybody's seeking attention.
Everybody wants 15 minutes of fame.
Everybody wants a YouTube video.
I mean, everybody wants to get in the act.
And she got in the act, and they built her up and they made her the ostensible leader for a few months of the anti-war movement and of the effort to embarrass President Bush and so forth and to carry on this notion that he didn't care about who was dying in Iraq in terms of the soldiers.
And now her usefulness to them has expired.
They have chewed her up.
Now they're spitting her out.
And she doesn't like it.
She liked fame.
She liked all the cameras.
She liked all the attention.
She liked the fact that all the attention gave her an opportunity to spread the word in her cause and so forth.
And she loved the fact that she was idolized.
She loved the fact that she was made in their heroine.
Now they discard her.
And when she wants to go further and when she wants to take her cause to Congress, wait a minute now, Cindy, this is never in the game plan.
So now they're turning on her.
And we always hear about the love and compassion and the respect for humanity that people on the left have.
Cindy Sheehan, when all is said and done, is a pathetic figure, is a sympathetic and pathetic figure.
They took a woman who's Emotionally out of kilter and out of balance, and they used that very aspect of her personality and made her, in her own mind, a national figure and star.
She's traveling or she goes down to meet Hugo Chavez because she'll find when she did that.
She go meet Hugo Chavez.
She could meet any anti-war dictator in the world.
The American left cheers.
Go, Cindy, you tell them.
Comes back and wants to run for Congress.
Uh, it's Cindy.
Uh, shows over, and they're trying to grab the hook and get her off stage.
She doesn't want to go.
Open line Friday on Thursday, Rush Limbaugh, a man running America, a national treasure, a prophet on the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Well, here's a story that you don't see much.
It is from the PacificlegalFoundation.org.
Federal officials must retract and reconsider their designation of thousands of acres in Florida and Alabama as additional critical habitat for the Perdido Key Beach Mouse or face a lawsuit.
So warns a formal letter mailed to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service last night by attorneys with Pacific Legal Foundation's Atlantic Center.
The PLF Atlantic Center lawyers represent Florida property owners who have been unable to rebuild after their homes are destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 because of new government land use restrictions to protect mice.
The letter sent yesterday constitutes the 60-day notice that plaintiffs must provide before challenging federal endangered species regulations.
If federal officials don't comply with the letter's request, the property owners plan to file a lawsuit in two months.
Last October, federal wildlife officials designated 6,200 acres in coastal Alabama and the Florida Panhandle as additional critical habitat for three mice, including the Perdido Key Beach Mouse.
It had been listed under the Endangered Species Act.
In short, they ordered a freeze on thousands of acres, harming hundreds of homeowners and other property owners on the basis of slipshod scientific work.
This is why we're strong on legal ground here and why the feds are staring at a lawsuit if they don't admit their mistake and go back to the drawing board.
I don't think anybody at the feds ever gets worried about a lawsuit because money is not a problem for them.
Even if they lose big, what does it matter?
The people involved in this are bureaucrats.
They're not going to have to pay any personal damages or losses if they lose.
So I don't know how intimidated they're going to be, but it's just, it's typical.
You got to listen to this.
This was on the Today Show today during the woman's segment.
Of course, the whole show is the woman's segment now.
The whole show has been chick-ified.
Producers, editors, directors, camera people, hosts, hostettes, all chicks.
So the correspondent, Peter Alexander, on the Today's Woman segment, spoke with David Zink-Zinko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine, and Pepper Schwartz, author and relationship expert, about type A and type B personalities in relationships.
And the host here, Peter Alexander, says, How about two type A's?
When you have two type A's, how do you make that work in a relationship?
A true powerful couple like the Clintons.
Yeah, I think Bill and Hillary Clinton, and I'm a big fan of somebody like that.
Look, it's exciting.
There's conflict.
They get a lot done.
They admire each other.
Okay, there are fights.
They break a few lamps in the White House, but there's probably a budget for that.
And I think it's healthy to have the fight, to clear the air, and then to kind of take the long view.
And I think that that kind of relationship can definitely work.
And the best type A couples are really good at storming and clearing.
It's okay.
No, so now we've got two experts from journalism who are proclaiming the Clinton marriage as an ideal.
It's the model.
Oh, yeah, two type A is like, why?
That?
Break a few lamps, make up.
Look at the long view.
The long view in the Clinton's case is taking out the country.
But then the next question was: well, what about type A and type B relationships?
Pepper, let's flip it.
When we have a B man, a type B man.
By the way, does everybody know what type A and type B are?
You know what type A is, Bran?
No, I'm not a type A.
I am not a type A.
I mean, a lot of people would think I'm a type A, but I'm not.
Well, certain ways I'm a type A, but a type A, totally never sits still, domineering, has to be in control, has to be in charge, alpha male.
Think that.
Type B is a wuss.
So the question here is: well, what about a type B, a wuss guy, and a type A woman?
How does that work, Pepper?
Well, that's pretty new because it used to be, you know, a man would rather die than be a B to an A.
But a lot of men really do want the domestic life.
They do want it slower.
They're happy to be, you know, the one that supports the woman who makes it big.
So it's a question of what you want.
It can work great.
Bradford, Angelina, and Jolie.
Yeah, and that's something that can work well.
And a lot of men these days are happy to take the back seat and let the woman power the relationship.
But what they have to make sure is that they have a career, they have hobbies, they have their own interests, because if A starts dominating B too much, resentments can build.
Really?
So we've got these journalism experts here telling us, journalist relationship experts, all I know is human nature is human nature.
And if some wuss marries some powerful woman, she's going to get tired of him inside of what?
What would you say, Dawn?
Six months?
I just, this is some of these things, some of these things do not change.
They just don't change.
Now, we're not going to sit here, Mr. Snerdley, and start determining someone's credibility by virtue of their name.
Snerdley is going to say, who are we going to take some woman named Pepper seriously?
That's not the point.
It's not the point.
It's what Pepper is saying.
Her name could be salt.
Her name could be garlic.
And she would still say the same thing.
Here's Mike in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
Nice to have you on the program.
Pleasure to talk to you, Rosh.
Thank you.
How are you doing today?
Good, sir.
I just wanted to answer your question you had in the monologue in the first hour.
Yeah.
Yeah, let me find out.
Let me get the exact, before you give me your answer to it, let me give the exact blacks in U.S. imprisoned at five times the rate of whites.
And my question was, this tells us what exactly?
This is going to lead to equal opportunity arrest and affirmative imprisonment.
Equal opportunity.
So you think there will be a push-on to arrest more whites?
Could be.
And put them in jail.
Well, you know, I'm all for that if they deserve it.
Oh, I am too, absolutely.
But, you know.
You know how these lives work.
They just want everybody to be easy.
Yes, I'll tell you.
The reason I ask the question that way is because they can't fool me.
This is a cyclical story.
This story comes out once or twice a year.
It usually happens around some sort of event.
This time it comes out all by itself.
But usually it comes out after some event has happened.
And you'll get the obligatory responses to this from the Reverend Dach.
And the point they're trying to make here is that the legal justice system is biased against blacks.
And that the reason there are five times as many blacks as whites in jail is because that many blacks have been discriminated against and don't deserve to be there.
It is because the legal justice system wants them in jail to get them out of the way.
That's the message behind it of this story and of that headline and so forth.
And it's been this way for years.
It's a cyclical story.
It comes out now and again.
And it's all meant to foment continual racial discord among the American people, pure and simple.
Now, there actually aren't, I should make this stipulation, I will help the drive-bys here because this, again, is a not help.
I'm going to correct them because once again, they have misled entirely.
It's like that story that we had yesterday that this guy that worked in the vice president's office got sentenced to 10 years for stealing documents and transferring them to a Philippine resistance group.
And the headline said, Cheney Aid sentenced to 10 years.
The guy was in the White House in 1999.
He was in the vice president's office from 1999 to 2002.
Cheney did not become vice president until 2001.
So he was already there.
He was there when Gore and Clinton were in the White House.
But the headline said, Cheney Aid, sentenced to 10 years.
Part of the ongoing action line to make this administration look corrupt and incompetent and so forth.
There may be five times as many.
Well, there actually aren't.
This is the point.
There are not five times as many blacks in jail.
It's proportional based on the population differences.
So the percentage of the black male population that's in jail is five times the percentage that the white population, male popular, general population, maybe two, is in jail.
So it's a significant point.
Well, what is it?
What is the other way that we should?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm hmm.
The black population five times.
No, no, no.
Well, okay, you may have a point.
If five times in a proportional basis, if five times as many blacks, percentage of their population, are in jail as whites are, then you could say that the remaining black population is safe, safer than the remaining white population.
You're talking about black-on-black crime.
You're just talking about pure criminals.
Okay, so well, yeah, but for your point to be accurate, you'd have to restrict that to black-on-black crime.
You'd have to restrict it to that.
Otherwise, the point wouldn't hold up.
But I see what you're trying to do.
You're trying to stir it up.
You're trying to get a Media Matters for America headline for me.
I haven't met one lately.
But I recognize where you were going, and I put the qualifier.
Not that it'll matter to them.
All right, open line Friday on Thursday, brief time out here, and we'll come back and continue with more of your calls.
I wonder if it was a Prius that attacked that Hummer in Washington.
Hi, welcome back.
Great to have you, ladies and gentlemen.
We roll right on here.
The unstoppable movable force, the EIB network.
Story out of Washington, D.C.
The guy's name is Gareth Groves.
And when he brought home his massive new Hummer, he knew that his environmentally friendly neighbors disapproved.
But he didn't expect what happened next.
His Hummer was parked for five days in the street before two masked men smashed the windows, slashed the tires, and scratched into the body for the environ.
The thought of somebody vandalizing it never crossed my mind, said Gareth Groves, who lives near American University in Northwest Washington.
I've kind of been in shock.
Police said that they see small acts of vandalism in the area from time to time, but they've not seen anything so severe or with such a clear political message in recent years.
Commander Andy Solberg said this seems to be an isolated event.
Investigators said they're searching for the vandals, but they don't have many leads.
Witnesses said they saw two men smash up the seven-foot-tall Hummer early Monday and then run off.
Now, as Groves contemplates what to do with the remains of his $38,000 car, he has had to deal with a number of people who've driven by the crime scene and glared at him in smug satisfaction.
I'd say one in five people who come by have that you got what you deserve look, said his friend Andy Sexton.
You know, you people on the left, you're going to have to get a grip.
You're out there shooting soldiers.
You're plotting, blowing up fuel lines and so forth, all because you think we need to get out of Iraq.
And Bush lied, and the soldiers are killing innocent women and children and so forth.
This vandalism, I mean, there have been violent environmental groups like Earth First and a bunch of these wackos that have tried to trash and set fire to whole dealerships full of SUVs for a long time.
But nowadays, two wacko individuals in ski masks running through the neighborhood.
I mean, why would they care?
I would think that there's somebody in the neighborhood.
Who would know?
Outside the neighborhood.
One of the neighbors who disapproves might have been waxing eloquent in their arrogant, condescending look down their nose everybody way.
Yes, I can't believe what just happened in my neighborhood.
The guy down the street has a Hummer and it's on a street and I have to see it every day and I can't handle it.
So he's telling this or she's telling this some of their friends who live outside the neighborhood.
Well, we'll do something about that for you.
Go over there.
I mean, they're trying to intimidate the guy based on a kind of car that he drives.
Neighbor Lucille Lyme, who owns a Prius hybrid, said that a common sediment in the neighborhood is that large vehicles such as a Hummer are impractical and a stain on the earth.
The neighborhood in general is very concerned with the environment.
It's more liberal-leaning.
It's ridiculous to be driving a Hummer in our neighborhood.
Another example of liberals and who they are, ladies and gentlemen.
Why can't they just mind their own business?
What do you mean, mind their own business?
Why are they not going to mind their own business, Mr. Star?
That's the whole point of a liberal.
A liberal's job is to mind everybody else's business, not his.
Because he's already doing everything right.
He's already driving the junk cars.
He's already doing all these crazy, irrelevant little environmental things to save the planet.
And when not everybody else is doing it, that's not right.
And we're going to force you to not eat garlic.
We're going to force you to not use trans fats.
We're going to force you to get rid of your hummer if we have to vandalize it.
They think they're doing the Lord's work.
Well, in this case, the Lord's work gaia.
This is Joe in Richmond, Virginia.
Joe, thanks for calling and welcome to the program, sir.
Hey, Rush, how you doing?
Good, sir.
First time calling, long time listener.
Nice to have you with us today, sir.
Remember the rush lunches way back when?
When you were really cutting in the Clinton administration?
Where restaurants would have the lunch and have you?
You and Rush Rooms.
You're talking about the rush rooms, yeah.
Yeah, remember that years and years ago?
I do, of course, yes.
There's still some out there.
Are there now?
I don't know.
I used to really enjoy listening to you.
Unfortunately, I don't think you're holding this administration to the same level you held the Clinton administration.
Really?
Imagine, just imagine, the last six years, change the name administration from Bush to Clinton.
What would you want to be doing to the president?
Well, you give it exact circumstances?
Uh-huh, the exact circumstances.
Nothing.
Oh, you wouldn't.
Rush, tell me the truth, Nellie.
No, no.
See, you're framing a question wrong.
If Clinton were present now, there wouldn't be tax cuts.
There wouldn't be a roaring economy, and we wouldn't be in Iraq.
So your question is irrelevant.
Are you sure?
You can play these what-if games, but I'm not going to sit here and defend myself.
My job is not to be equally hard on administrations.
It should be.
If you're true independent, you should be.
I've noticed that.
I've never said that I'm independent.
I believe in a cause.
And I'm trying to advance it.
By the way, you should call this administration and ask them if they think I'm one of their pals right now.
You are.
Illegal immigration bill?
No.
I agree with you on that.
Well.
That's the one time I really agree with you.
Okay, well then, see, but you're proud to be in Iraq?
What?
Are you talking about the political party?
So that's what you're driving.
Your policy in Iraq differs from mine, and you think I'm wrong about it.
No, well, no, no, I'll ask you, Rush.
Let me ask you a question.
Ask.
How does the military win in Iraq?
It's got a country of doing what they're doing.
You force the al-Qaeda group that's in there from outside the country.
It's awkward in the whirlwind compared to the problems they got with the Sunnis and the Shia.
And you know that.
Okay, one more question.
No, it's not.
See, this is your great misunderstanding.
Were you been listening since the beginning of the program?
Yeah, that's why I actually called those two ladies.
Because I'll tell you, the fact is, if you want to win this, you drive al-Qaeda out of it.
You drive Al-Qaeda out of it.
Al-Qaeda has nothing to do with it.
Yes, it does.
That's the whole point.
You didn't hear the beginning of the program.
It's the whole point.
It is not a sectarian war.
It's not a civil war.
It is not.
How can you say it's not?
It is not.
Look at.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
This is worthless.
This is not worth my time anymore.
I covered this the very opening segment of the show.
We captured a bad guy.
Listen to me on this, Joe.
We captured a bad guy.
He's telling us everything.
He's the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, we thought.
Turns out Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a fictitious group started by Zawahiri and the real Al-Qaeda to make it look like there's a civil war there.
There isn't a civil war.
And that's saying it's a civil war is what gives people like you cover saying you can't win it military because the Sunnis and the Shia and they hate each other and blah, blah, blah, the Kurds.
Drive al-Qaeda out of there and we win militarily.
Drive Al-Qaeda out of there.
We got a better chance at shoring up security within and get the political thing going.
It's entirely doable.
It's entirely possible, but not with attitudes like yours.
By the way, John Kerry is a liar too.
Who's next on this program?
This is my type A.
Okay, if the way I'm behaving on type A, I'm type A.
But I think type A, I'm going to have to look up type A because I think I've got some type B characteristics.
I can sit in my library for five hours with the door shut and not talk to a soul.
Is that type A?
That's type A?
Okay, well, I'm type A.
Okay.
Doesn't want to be bothered with the underlings, with the riffraff, with all the, you know, the humdrum.
Okay, then that's me.
Marissa in Sappington, Missouri.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Nice to have you with us.
Well, thank you, Rush.
And whether you're A or B, I think you're practically perfect.
So I don't.
This is really going to anger Joe.
Folks, I got to tell you.
Joe really wanted to talk to me about how he's tired of hearing people like you call.
But I didn't have time.
I was getting too frustrated with worrying about the irrelevancies here about the war in Iraq and so on.
What he wanted to say was, it's probably my fault.
I should have just steered him there.
But my type A took over.
He wanted to complain about the way John Kerry gets treated on this program by me and callers and that caller, the C-SPAN.
And yet, women like you and other callers call and tell me how wonderful and fabulous I am.
And that makes him mad.
That was what he really wanted to talk about.
Well, he's going to be even madder after he hears what I have to say.
Good.
I hope you're going to let me get my whole message out because I don't have a 144 IQ like that guy yesterday, but it is 143 and 7 8.
So if you just bear with me, I think, well, you know and we know that you're running the country.
Yes.
And I think that you and George Washington are practically the same.
I mean, you could be brothers because, you know, you built a whole war, if you will, a whole army of people to hold together to a conservative ideal by yourself.
I mean, you started with nothing and you built it, and it is what it is today.
And George Washington enabled the country to win the Revolutionary War by holding together a pathetic army through thick and thin when everything was going terribly.
And he really almost by himself had the magnetism and the trust and the belief of all the people.
And that's what made everybody stick with him.
And the thing is, for whatever reason, there's only one person like that who comes along, maybe in a whole generation, who is like that, who has those kinds of qualities.
And he was the one then.
And I've heard historians say that, you know, without him, maybe we wouldn't even be here.
And I think you're that way today.
Without you, this conservative movement probably wouldn't even be here.
But, you know, after fighting a long and difficult war, I'm sure the first thing that George Washington wanted to do was go back to Mount Vernon and put his feet up and enjoy life a little bit.
But unfortunately, because he was so much the way he was.
Yeah, but you know what?
He was the only one who could be the president to pull this country together.
They offered to make him king.
Well, I know.
That's my point.
He was the only one that everybody believed in and everybody trusted.
And unfortunately for you, because I know you don't want to be president, I think you're the same type of person.
You are the only person who everybody trusts and everybody believes in.
And I think the conservatives believe and trust in you more than any of the candidates that are running.
And I think, you know, if you got on the air Monday, since you won't be here tomorrow, and said, I'm going to run for president in 08, that's all you'd have to do, and you would be elected.
And you would save our country.
You would.
It's awfully nice of you, but I'm really, I have to.
This is embarrassing for me to say because I can't do any about it.
I've got to go because I'm way long in this segment.
I have to go to the next profit center timeout.
You think about it while you're playing golf.
All right.
I'll think about it.
But thank you.
I appreciate it more than you know.
I continually am stunned when I hear these kind of things.
The only difference between me and George Washington is if somebody wanted to make me king, I'd take it.
In news from the European Union, ladies and gentlemen, men must take on more household chores for their pay differential over women to disappear, said the European Union's employment chief.
He did this appealing to all males in the European Union.
The European Commission said in a report that women in the 27-nation EU earned 15% less than men, measured by gross hourly wages, against 17% in 1995, showing little progress on indirect sexual discrimination in the job market.
Vladimir Spidla, the employment commissioner, said there's no sign of any sustainable improvement, and this is quite simply unacceptable.
He said a pay gap between men and women existed even in the EU's Executive Commission.
He said men contributed seven hours a week of unpaid household work.
Women, on the other hand, contributed 35 hours a week if they also had a part-time gig, 24 hours a week if employed full-time.
This made it impossible for them to devote as much time as men to their careers.
So this is an appeal to men.
It is not possible to reduce the pay gap if we do not make a greater contribution at home.
This is in a news conference.
Now, forget for a moment the issue.
Forget the pay gap, men and women, and all that, because this is a cyclical story in the drive-by media, both here and in the UK.
The important thing here is that you have a high government official in the EU telling men what they have to do at home and how much more of it they have to do in order for there to be equality.
And I think, and this is perfectly illustrative of just who liberals and socialists and big government types are.
Society is just not smart enough to work these kind of things out.
The free market does not take care of these horribly unfair discriminatory practices.
Why, who knew this kind of discrimination was going on, even in happy marriages?
Brett girl's going to jump all over this one.
This one is made for the Brett girl.
It won't be long before his wife goes out and says much the same thing because she does most of the talking in this campaign.
She's not doing anything at home.
So she'll go out there and she can say this is the defining women's issue of our time.
Poverty, women's rights in the home.
Hillary, she's working like a man, so she doesn't have to be at home.
This is just rich.
This is just rich.
A rottenly managed, a poorly managed ski resort in France, town called Abundance, has shut down.
And the people at Blew It in running it, they're blaming global warming.
So we have the first ski resort victim of global warming, abundance in the French Alps, the first ski station to fall apparent victim to global warming.
It will almost certainly not be the last.
But investors are not ready yet to write off alpine ski resorts yet, noting how unpredictable weather-dependent investments are.
Restaurant owner Marie Jean-Tininger, 61, blamed bad management for the station's trouble.
Come on, she said, I'm skeptical about global warming.
It's just a matter of cycles.
She was ready to pay more taxes to keep the station open.
So this is, I wouldn't be surprised if the people that run and own this place are a bunch of activists themselves.
So anyway, for all intents and purposes, as far as the drive-bys are concerned, and this is AP, first ski resort victim to global warming.
Certainly, certainly, certainly not to be the last, ladies and gentlemen.
