Time Text
Mr. Snardley, what was the caller?
His name about Robert Mugabe?
Quentin, I love that guy.
Because he was from Rhodesia.
Rhodesia.
Which is what Zimbabwe used to be.
But did you hear what he said?
He said, did you hear about the Clintons?
They say they're going to take the profits of ExxonMobil.
Mugabe is doing it.
And look what's happening to the country of Zimbabwe.
Anyway, he makes a good point.
We're doing Open Line Friday on Wednesday because I'm out the next two days taking a couple of well-deserved, I might add, vacation days here in the lull between the gearing up for Operation Chaos and its continuance in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania primary.
Telephone number on the Rush Limbaugh program, 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
Now, we had a caller earlier regarding Operation Chaos, very, very much concerned that some of these Operation Chaos operatives who have changed their party registration for the Pennsylvania primary from Republican to Democrat may not switch back.
They may just not go to the trouble.
They may just stay registered as Democrats and vote Republican or however they were going to vote in the past, but just not switch back.
And that she feared would give the Democrats a registration age edge in Pennsylvania as they have now.
Ladies and gentlemen, it was never, ever, and I don't know that I've made this clear, but it was never ever part of Operation Chaos that those of you switching party registration to Democrat stay there permanently.
There's always been a plan, and no strategy survives combat with the enemy.
Once the hostilities start, you have to adapt.
And I'm very confident because we have found out now, we made sure that in Pennsylvania, those of you who have switched parties, Republican to Democrat, in order to sustain the chaos in a Democrat Party, you are free to go back and re-register as Republicans prior to the general election.
And as the Commander-in-Chief of Operation U.S. Operation Chaos, that would be Sync USUC.
That's the acronym, Sync Yusuck, the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Operation Chaos.
The intent is fully to have you go back and re-register as Republicans.
And so that the Democrats lose this majority that they're so happy and hunky-dory right now to have.
The thing is, it will not be reported when that happens because there will not be any single event around it.
People will trickle in.
Operation Chaos operatives will trickle in and re-register as Republicans in a tiered phase so that it will not be noticeable to any of the election registrars or any of this, you know, people changing party again, like it has been.
This happened, basically.
Operation Chaos happened in the last week leading up to Pennsylvania.
So it was a mass number of changes of voter registration.
But when Operation Chaos operatives rejoin the Republican Party, it'll be drips and drabs.
Nobody's going to notice it.
And even if they do notice it, it won't be reported on.
So it will be a stealth operation that will indeed end you might look at this.
Yes, that's right.
Operation Chaos, you could call this a surge in and of itself.
And Operation Chaos, a surge, is inflicting really severe battlefield casualties on the Democratic Party, as you can see by virtue of what comes out of their mouths about each other.
It is delightful to see.
Ladies and gentlemen, over the course of many moons, I have chronicled for you how, for example, in California, the state, for years, for whatever reasons, fuel economy, global warming, pollution emissions, urging people left and right to buy smaller cars, more economical cars, cars that get more miles to the gallon.
Is the case in a state as populous as California?
You're going to have enough sheep out there that when the government says do something, they'll go do it because they think that's what defines being a good citizen is following orders from the government.
And enough of them did over the course of recent months that less gasoline was sold.
This coupled with a higher gasoline price and all the other factors contributed to what?
Less tax revenue pouring into the public coffers in Sacramento.
This alarmed state officials because everything they suggested people were doing in enough numbers, sufficient numbers, as to impact negatively the collection of tax revenue.
So what did they do?
Figured out ways to raise taxes on gasoline and other things to make up their loss.
Now, this is typical government, typical liberal government.
Tell you to do these great things to save you money and save the planet at the same time.
When they figure out that you saving tax revenue means they don't get it, then the days of you saving tax revenue are over.
And so you've gone out, you've purchased a bunch of junk heap automobiles that you really didn't want, but because of your desire to be good citizens, you're driving around a bunch of claptraps, barely able to do 50 miles an hour, but you think that you're a good citizen, and all of a sudden everything they told you to do harms them.
It is happening in North Carolina.
It is happening in a number of states.
In Raleigh, North Carolina recently, they banned garbage disposals.
Now, when I moved to New York, you couldn't have a garbage disposal in the city in any high-rise.
You couldn't have them.
No, you couldn't.
I mean, as recently as 1988, as recently as 1994, you couldn't have a garbage disposal.
You know why?
Because it eliminated jobs for union workers to pick up garbage and trash.
If you could put all your food, you know what you had to do?
You had to put your food in a trash bag, throw it down a chute in the building, ends up outside on the front curb, waiting for the trash truck to come pick it up.
What a lot of people would do after they got the permit of certificate of occupancy from the local inspector, they would secretly install the KitchenAid or whatever garbage disposal.
I never did because I didn't want to flout law.
And I say you can do it in New York.
Now, I still haven't put one in because I'm not in there enough, but I still haven't put it.
I should do it.
But they just recently tried to ban them in North Carolina.
And for the reason they were clogging up sewer lines, which was pure bogus.
And there was such an outrage, they've rescinded the ban.
That was in Raleigh.
Now, in Charlotte, North Carolina, it's official now.
Charlotte Mecklenburg water and sewer customers, your rates will go up because you conserved.
15% increase in the water rate has been approved.
This is from the Charlotte Observer.
Charlotte City Council approved an unusually steep water and sewer rate hike on Monday, double the normal annual increase to make up for lower water sales in recent months as the region has stopped lawn watering.
And they're in a drought.
And so the officials say, you can't water.
You can only water once a week.
You can't water at all.
You can't wash your car.
You're supposed to brush your teeth without the water running.
You're supposed to wash your hands without the water running.
So people have been following the orders.
They're good citizens.
And they know there's a drought.
They've been told you've got 90 days.
90 days if it doesn't rain.
And we're officially out of water.
So people have been paying attention.
And they've been doing it.
Now their water rates are going up because they're not using any.
The vote was seven to three.
Now, just extrapolate this to whatever might come down the pike in global warming.
They tell you what to do and how to save money.
And when they find out their tax revenue falls, guess what?
You're going to get taxed for less.
You're going to get taxed for using less of anything.
Republican Councilman John Lasseter said, this is in Charlotte.
We're in a box.
It distresses me.
I feel like there should have been a lot more disclosure to this council prior to 30 days ago.
So where are we?
The city of Raleigh and Charlotte, wherever in the state of North Carolina, bans you from watering your lawn, from any new plants, from washing the car, using a garbage disposal with all these hysterical demands to conserve water.
They're running commercials on television with the governor and a bunch of pretty children asking North Carolinians not to run water while shaving or brushing their teeth.
They say you only have enough water in North Carolina to last 90 days.
In three months, there'll be no water coming out of the taps of North Carolina, they say.
So, like the good little sycophants that North Carolina citizens are, they do all that.
People are even putting rain barrels out.
They're putting rain barrels out to collect rainwater when it rains because they're trying to conserve water to follow what the government says.
And then BAMO, the Charlotte City Council coming soon to other North Carolina cities as well, I'll bet you realizes all that conservance now causing the local government coffers to lose millions of dollars in revenue.
So what do they do?
Raise the rates on the water.
There was nothing they could do.
Nothing they could do.
They were in a box.
And these rates more than double the normal annual increase.
Does this not sound like I said, ladies and gentlemen, suspiciously like the man-made global warming garbage out there?
Record cold?
Record cold global warming.
Record heat?
It's global warming.
More hurricanes, global warming.
Less hurricanes, global warming.
By the same token, less water and your bill goes up.
Use less gasoline in California and the expense, the cost goes up.
And then if you come back and use more water, your bill goes up.
Use less, it goes up.
Use more, it goes up.
It's the same technique with global warming.
Extreme cold, global warming.
Extreme hot, global warming.
Use less water, it goes up in price.
Use more water, it goes up in price.
In both cases, liberal governments are in charge of the charges.
This is...
Okay, Rush, okay.
Fine and dandy.
You tell us about this, but then what?
Stop electing Democrats.
Plain and simple.
We will get back to the phones in mere moments.
Camille Paglia, her latest column in salon.com, answers email.
She got an email from a guy named Chris Richards in Agora Hills or Agora Hills, California.
He writes to Camille Paglia, I would like to get your feedback on the subject of those who end up in Hillary's orbit.
Can you conceive of a strong leader-type male ever working for her?
An alpha male, if you will.
And if the answer is no, then why do you think that is?
The men you see around her are, to a person, passive-aggressive.
They're sadistic.
They're mean.
They're little.
They're petty, beta-male pieces of work who would not naturally succeed in a common male-type hierarchy.
Hierarchy, but by that I mean an environment that values straightforward achievement rather than the darker political arts.
Who are these guys?
Camille Paglia's reply.
You have succinctly expressed one of the most unsettling aspects of Hillary Clinton's character and modus operandi.
There is a strangely static and claustrophobic quality to the fiercely loyal cult that she has gathered around her since her first lady years.
Post-mortem analysts of this presidential campaign will have a field day ferreting out all the cringe-making blunders made by her clique of tired, aging courtiers who couldn't adjust to changing political realities.
Miss Paglia continues, I agree, the male staff who Hillary attacks, attracts, are slick, geeky weasels, rancid asexual cream puffs.
If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say Hillary is reconstituting the toxic hierarchy of her childhood household with her on top instead of her drill sergeant father.
All those seething beta males are versions of her sad-sack brothers who got the short end of the rotten DNA stick.
The White House should not be a banging, rocking washer perpetually stuck on spin cycle.
Many Democrats, including myself, have come to doubt whether Hillary has any core values or even a stable sense of identity.
With her outlandish fibbing, naive self-puffery, her erratic day-to-day changes of tone and message, her glassy fixed smiles, her leaden, embarrassingly unpresidential jokes about pop culture.
She has started to seem like one of those manic, seductively vampiric patients in trashy old Hollywood movies like the snake pit.
How anyone could confuse Hillary's sourly cynical male-bashing megalomania with authentic feminism is beyond me.
Camille Paglia.
Salon.com.
It is an interesting question, and it is interesting to note.
All of these guys in Hillary's orb, you know, would-be in Revenge of the Nerds 10.
And that's even being charitable towards them in terms of being men.
Marty, Orlando, Florida, thank you for waiting.
Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush, Ditto.
Thank you.
Hey, Rush, the Rockefeller comments about McCain, are those also an indirect attack on the Clintons, since that's the type of war they fought in Bosnia, where precision-guided missiles were fired by pilots ordered to stay above a certain altitude?
No, because, see, that was NATO, and the Clintons weren't in the airplanes.
I mean, I get your point.
I get your point.
The Clintons fought a war at 15,000 feet by bombing people.
And it's a great way to point out the hypocrisy of Rockefeller.
But again, see, you have to understand, this is, it's easy to explain, and when you hear it, it sounds very plausible, very simple.
But it's a tough thing to remember.
Liberals believe that the world can be perfected.
I mean, Obama, if you listen carefully to some of his soundbites, he will even say that.
We are out to perfect the world.
We want a more perfect world.
They think perfection is achievable.
They know that realists, such as us, don't get caught up in New Age garbage like perfection because we're too reality-based.
I mean, perfection is not possible, particularly among nations and human beings.
It just isn't.
There are too many factors, too many variables.
Education, intelligence, desire, ambition, a whole bunch of.
It's not possible, but they think it is.
And so, since they think it is, and since their intentions, I mean, who could oppose a perfect world?
Why, it would be wonderful.
But there are people in their view who oppose a perfect world.
Us.
Therefore, we are evil.
We are pure evil because we don't believe in a perfect or a world that can be perfected.
And such, anything they do, with the motive being to achieve a perfect world, is entirely justified.
Destroying us or anybody else in their way.
So, how does this apply to McCain, Rockefeller, and Clintons in Bosnia?
Well, in Bosnia, liberals simply had their good intentions or wearing them right on the sleeve, trying to achieve a perfect world by getting rid of bad people.
Trying to get rid of bad people.
And so, dropping bombs on bad people, good intentions, try to perfect the world, fine.
But McCain was a Republican.
McCain was part of the military, which is part of the problem, because the military stands in the way of a perfect world.
In a perfect world, there would be no need for a military because there would never be any hostilities, there wouldn't be any hate.
There wouldn't be any discrimination.
There wouldn't be any prejudice.
There wouldn't be any bigotry.
There wouldn't be any racism, sexism, homophobia in a perfect world.
But the Republicans oppose this because Republicans are racist, sexist, bigots, and homophobes in the liberal worldview.
And as such, when a McCain-piloted jet drops bombs on innocent little children and people of color, it is not an attempt to perfect the world.
It's killing babies, women, and children.
And so it is thoroughly condemnable.
It is without, there's no question of it, just condemn it.
And then you say, well, wait a minute, you guys ordered the same thing in Bosnia.
Oh, no, no, no, that was not the same.
We were trying to rid the world of bad people.
You were trying to rid the world of innocent women and children and babies, and you didn't care.
And you were dropping Agent Orange and you were defoliating the place.
And those people were innocent.
That war was our fault.
We had no business.
That was not, we deserved to lose.
But see, NATO was not even the U.S. military.
That was an international force or a North Atlantic Treaty Organization force.
So therefore, it was an alliance of nations.
It was not the evil United States.
In fact, the only representative of the United States was Wesley Clark, Ashley Wilkes, the commanding general.
He's a good liberal.
Good intentions want to perfect the world.
The spokesman for NATO who came out and announced the success of the war in Bosnia every day, Jamie something or other, proper British accent.
Not an American, a European, a citizen of the world.
Our forces there under the command of General Hornblower Wingfogger.
And we got the Daily Report of Casualties.
But that was all for a perfect world.
We're not for that, and so anything done to destroy us is entirely possible.
Back after this, my friend, stay with us.
Back to the phones here in just a second.
I mentioned this earlier.
It's worth repeating.
Some guy named Sam Stein writing in the Huffington Post: Bill Clinton's ties to Columbia trade deals stronger than even Mark Penn's tiles ties to Columbia.
In June of 2005, Clinton was paid $800,000 by the Columbia-based Gold Service International to give four speeches throughout Latin America.
The organization is a development group tasked with bringing investments to Columbia and educating world leaders about Columbia's business opportunities.
So Clinton being paid to drum up free trade business, while at the same time, his wife, the lovely and gracious Hillary Clinton, on the campaign trail opposing it.
And this is not the first time, the Dubai Ports Deal.
Clinton was paid, because I don't know, I want to say over a million dollars by Dubai to lobby our government for the Dubai Ports deal.
It might have been $600,000.
Point is he was paid, and Hillary's out there opposing it.
And everybody says, well, there's going to be trouble when Bill gets home tonight.
First place, Bill doesn't go home at night, wherever she is.
Number two, it's a scam.
It's done on purpose.
These people are a political machine.
You can look at them as Bagman and Rob them instead of Batman and Robin.
This is purposeful.
Clinton's out there getting the money.
They care about it more than anything in the world.
They are obsessed with wealth.
They are obsessed with money.
You can just tell.
Talk about it all the time.
In a very unclassy way.
And then Mrs. Clinton gets to go out there and take the right political position as far as Nimrod Democrat voters are concerned.
And they both score.
They both win.
And when they do end up in the same house together, whenever that is, they laugh and chuckle about it.
And I'm sure they pat themselves on the back.
And Bill says, I ran that scam perfectly.
You were so great out there, Dollar, ripping this to hell while I'm out there raising money, trying to get the thing passed.
And of course, note that everything Clinton ends up collecting money for to provide lobbying influence, usually they don't happen.
Whatever Dubai paid him, it was worthless.
And we don't yet know about the Columbia Free Trade Deal.
John, in Newcastle, Washington, I'm glad you called, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush.
I enjoy your program.
And I just want to let you know that being a grandfather, I miss your talking and getting the wisdom that you found in your grandfather.
Well, thank you, sir.
There was more of that than I had a chance to absorb.
Well, you did a good job, and you called on him when you wanted to seek his knowledge.
And I just wonder what you think he would make of what we're faced with, with the Republican conservatives trying to get this next election.
Well, what would my grandfather think here?
Yes.
Of McCain being the nominee, for example, and the candidates that we face?
Yes, and you need to support him.
And I would wonder if your grandfather wouldn't advise you that we have only one Republican Party and one candidate.
Yeah.
You know, my grandfather was not in public overtly Republican.
In private, he was.
But he was in public.
He had clients.
He was a lawyer, clients of all persuasions.
He was publicly affiliated with the Republican Party, sat on some organizations and so forth.
But you would not have known him to be a confrontational type ideologue.
My brother and I and my dad are about the only members of my family that are as vocal about politics as we are.
The others feel it, but they're just not quite as vocal.
And my grandfather, I haven't even thought about this, but I'll never forget.
My grandfather was very active in St. Louis in the legal community.
I remember after one of the Democrat conventions, I guess it might have been 92, my grandfather called me and said, I really wish you'd back off on Richard Gephardt.
He's a fine man.
It wasn't that he disagreed with me about that.
It was that.
You were being a little too hard on him.
Well, no, it was.
No.
Yes, but not because I was wrong, but just because it made things uncomfortable for everybody else.
Because family's got a presence in St. Louis.
My grandfather would probably say to me what you would say to me.
Look, you know, you're really, you think this is helpful to Senator McCain.
I say, yes, I would try to explain to him that the worst thing I could do would be to come out now and support Senator McCain.
Let me ask you, John, if all of us, let's say I'm gone these next few days, I come back Monday.
This is hypothetical here.
Right.
Come back Monday, and I open the program and say, ladies and gentlemen, you won't believe, I had epiphanies over this weekend.
I got a talking to.
I had some people sit me down.
I saw things like I haven't seen them.
And I am here today to tell you that I do believe Senator John McCain would be the best man at this time in this nation's history to be president of the United States and give reasons and why I had changed my mind over the course of four days after eight years of a consistent position to the opposite.
What would your reaction be if you heard that?
Well, I think it's normal.
I think you will.
And I do wish that you do because, you know, you reach a lot of people.
I know.
And I've been listening to you for the last 15 years.
My wife was very conservative.
She's the one that put me on to your program.
She took your newsletter.
And she was a wonderful woman.
You sound just like the former Secretary of State James Baker.
Are you?
Well, I'm a Texan.
I knew it.
I lived in Chicago several years, and I was also over in Saudi Arabia.
I learned a lot about the Muslim countries.
Were you in the oil business?
I was in the oil business, building the petrochemical plant on the Red Sea.
By the way, can I say hello to my 82-year-old brother in Plaino, Texas?
Sure.
He listens to you every day.
His eyesight has gotten pretty bad.
I would just love to, you know, be able to express my love for him.
Well, you just did.
Well, thank you.
I'm sure that will help him see a lot clearer today.
Yes, sir.
And Rush, you are a charmer, really.
You had my wife wrapped around your little finger.
Well, I didn't know it.
That's the unfortunate thing.
And she was a beautiful woman.
She was a school teacher.
She died as a result of an automobile accident.
Wow, sorry to hear that.
And you remember this.
When you come on the air every day, there's somebody, an old grandfather like me, listening to you and just thanking you for everything you say about conservative America.
I appreciate that.
I really do.
Thanks very much, John.
That's very nice of you to say.
Thank you, Rush.
You bet.
But we are still back.
I mean, it is.
That's heart-tugging.
But we're still back to the question of what would happen if I were to come in Monday and do that.
There would be a lot of confusion out there, and people would wonder what really happened.
Well, he is the best of the three, but I'm not talking about coming out and saying that.
I've already acknowledged that.
Well, maybe, maybe John was saying, look, stop being critical.
Yes, that would be helpful.
Actually, I kind of like it when I get to come on your show and complain about what you're doing because you never ever invite me.
So the only way I get on is when you talk for me.
And that's fine.
That's fine because you, you've got me down pat.
By the way, I forgot to say one thing.
You know, my grandfather had been a judge in his life, and my uncle is a judge, and my cousin is a judge.
And when you're a judge, you have a certain temperament.
Even as a retired judge, when you go back into practice, you have a certain temperament.
My grandfather in the early 90s asked me to, you know, well, he didn't actually ask me.
He sent the word through my brother that he thought I was being a little critical of Gephardt.
So I talked to my grandfather about it, and he told me why, but I did not back off.
That's what I forgot to add.
I think it's about then we started calling him Little Dick Gephardt.
But nevertheless, get these next two stories.
This is, folks, I don't know what, I don't know, I'm an optimist and very happy, good cheer, content, and all that.
But I think I've got to prepare you for what we face, possibly.
We're going to face confiscatory taxation like people can't comprehend if either Hillary or Obama get elected president.
Two stories.
The Baltimore Sun.
There is a new tax bracket for Maryland millionaires, specifically millionaires, not the rich.
Maryland's new millionaires tax bracket.
Little more than 6,000 households statewide qualify for the distinction.
In all of Maryland, there are 6,000 households where people have an income of a million dollars or more.
More than 40% of these 6,000 reside in Montgomery County, Maryland.
It's a group that includes a Fortune 500 executive in Potomac, an energy company CEO in Roland Park, wealthy retirees with Bayside Estates in St. Michael's.
And there's some developers in Howard County go on to even Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens is one and would qualify for this new tax.
The General Assembly passed a new 6.25% top tax rate on incomes above $1 million.
And Governor Martin O'Malley signed a bill yesterday.
Maryland has become the first state to create an actual millionaires bracket.
6.25% state income tax if your income is $1 million or more.
Now, that's still pretty low compared to like 14% in California or 12% in New York.
This just the first round.
I know it's just, but the point is that there's a millionaire tax now.
In New York, Mayor Bloomberg is fit to be tied.
He had a new tax plan, a congestion tax.
And you were going to be charged if you drove into the city or if you lived in it.
I don't forget the details of it because it doesn't apply to me because it'll live there.
But you were going to get sulked.
And the state assembly told Governor Bloomberg to go to hell.
They've come up with a different plan.
Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan may be dead, but Assembly Democrats in New York have a plan to raise money for mass transit, tax the rich.
They're calling it in Albany the millionaire's tax.
Under the plan, people who earn over $1 million in New York State will pay an income tax surcharge of three-fourths of 1% for five years, meaning in perpetuity because it will never ever be eliminated.
It will only increase.
So whatever the top rate is in New York State, and I know what it is, I just don't pay any attention to it because it makes me sick, the accountant figures of it.
So for people over a million dollars, it's going to be an additional three-quarters of 1%.
It would raise over $5 billion for mass transit.
Supporters say that of the 75,000 affected taxpayers, about 35,000 don't even live in New York.
They could be ball players at Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Madison Square Garden.
They could be Wall Street people who live in Greenwich, Connecticut, or Princeton, New Jersey, but who work in the city.
So you said it's just the first and many snurdler.
You're absolutely right.
And $5 billion to pay for mass transit.
What about all the tax revenue they already raise in New York State and New York City?
Well, that's going to prop up the never-ending and always-growing welfare state that New York has, independent of the federal government's welfare state.
Now, people, I mentioned to you last hour, people asked me, Rush, when's the next Renaille Tankless Water Heater commercial coming?
I said, there happened to be one coming up in the next hour.
I'm getting emails about it.
Now, what a great time.
How can you, if you are in the millionaire bracket, and many of you may not be, but you might want to be, how can you offset your tax increase?
Easy.
The Renaissance Tankless Water Heater.
It is cheap to operate.
There's a little upfront cost putting in.
In fact, a friend of mine just put one in, was getting one put in.
Priced it out.
The way you do this, where she got hers, you get it through the gas company.
You don't actually go to a store by the water heater.
You go to their website, find out where you can get one put in and so forth.
The gas company does it in her case.
And what they do is prorate the cost of the water heater in the monthly gas bill over an 18-month, two-year period.
Check out what you want.
Or you can pay for it in full upfront.
And regardless, though, it's the fastest way to save money because it heats water only when you need it.
And it works.
And you can have as many showers going, as many laundries, washing machines going, dishwashers and so forth.
And if a fifth person needs to take a shower, if you have that many, the water will be there.
You don't pay to have it stored.
You can find out how much you can save with a Renaille Tankless Water Heater by going to their website, foreverhotwater.com.
Calculate it for yourself.
It really is fascinating technology, and it works.
I mean, you wouldn't drive a Model T today, but your old water tank in the basement or wherever it is is one.
Foreverhotwater.com or the Renaille Tankless Water Heater.
Judy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Hello.
I am so happy to talk to you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is one of your devoted volunteers checking in from North Carolina.
I appreciate that.
We've switched over today.
Me and several of my friends.
You were speaking in the commercial about water, and you were also talking a few minutes ago about Charlotte's water tax increase.
I just wanted to tell you about the commercial that our wonderful governor, Easley, has been broadcasting here.
They're with kids, right?
And the kids are urging, the kids are being urged to spy on the parents if they're breaking the water rule, right?
I call them little brown shirts, you know, like the Nazis because they're telling an old man he can't water his garden.
And I'm thinking, what if that old man is depending on that garden to eat?
Well, exactly.
And, you know, but it's, this is, this is like the global warming people are getting kids to tattle on their parents or to berate their parents to save their polar bears and so forth.
I got to take a break.
