Dave News Express for the host of this program, documented to be almost always right, 99.1% of the time.
Great to have you with us.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and uh fastest three hours in media.
Here's the telephone number, 800-282-2882, the email address, L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
I wonder, Snerdley, I wonder how many times has Obama talked to Mayor Daly about the Olympics being awarded to Chicago.
I bet it's more than 1015 or 20.
I bet they've actually had numerous meetings about this about how to pull it off.
He's talked to General McChrystal in Afghanistan, the general he appointed, doing the policy that Obama implemented in March.
He's talked to General McChrystal one time in 70 days.
This was I'm sure an error on CBS's part, including this in their report on 60 Minutes last night.
A lot of people think Obama's made the last minute decision to go to Denmark because Chicago has already or will be awarded the Olympics.
And so he wants to go there and take the credit for it.
Meaning that it's uh it's it's in the bag.
Uh people think that he must believe we have it, or probably wouldn't risk the trip.
Uh regardless, I don't care if that the simple fact of the matter is it's all about him.
Pure and simple, all about him.
I've just I bet you've had all kinds of conversations, though, with Daly about this.
Yeah, I see.
You gotta have uh you have to have your priorities straight.
We have video conferencing, we have telephones.
We have the highest tech available to the president of the United States.
He has virtually no communication with the man leading the war effort in Afghanistan.
I mean, Obama's own words.
Afghanistan's the most important war the country's fighting and must fight.
But he talks to McChrystal once in 70 days.
Obama says he wasn't aware of Acorn's massive criminal enterprise.
Maybe he's not aware of what's going on in Afghanistan.
Does the guy ever work?
Does the guy ever do presidential work?
Or does he just appear on television all the time and spout these dangerously naive platitudes?
Do you remember the law that was uh passed as part of the stimulus bill that nationalizes health records, creates the electronic health record database, digitizes them.
Remember that?
And happens as part of the stimulus bill, and it must happen.
Every uh doctor, hospital, health care provider must create an electronic health record for every American by 2014 or else face deductions in their Medicare payments.
Uh Congressman Patrick Kennedy, Democrat Rhode Island, has announced that people will be able to stop doctors from including records of sexually transmitted diseases and abortions in the new national system of electronic health records that was mandated by the stimulus law in February.
Well, you gotta protect family.
I mean, you gotta families look out for one another.
And if if people are going to be able to keep STDs and abortion records off their health records, we know that the Kennedys are still looking out for each other.
I know.
What's the point of having health records if you can have certain things kept out of it?
At uh at any rate, Rasmussen, Monday morning update.
Support for health care plan falls to a new law, 41%.
Now favor Obamacare, 56%, oppose it.
Support among seasoned citizens has fallen to 33%.
Now, if you want to know why this thing doesn't get implemented till 2013, here is your answer.
He's gonna wait till after the 2012 election to make sure any of this stuff is implemented.
Because once it hits, once the reality of it hits, he's gonna have a popular revolt on his hands.
And he wants three years or four years of his presidency left once the chaos begins.
So this let me tell you what this is.
The desire to put this off to 2013 is a tantamount admission that he knows it'll not be liked.
He knows people will hate it, that he knows people will oppose it.
So look at this.
We're being told of this great sense of urgency.
We had to get it passed into law before the August recess, and now we have to get it done by Thanksgiving.
And we have all of these people working hard on it.
And it's gotta get done.
It's gotta get done, it's gotta get done.
We can't wait, but we're gonna wait to implement it till 2013, because Obama knows we don't want any part of it.
He knows we won't like one bit of it.
And if it got implemented soon after it was signed into law, he could kiss his re-election in 2012 goodbye.
And he knows this.
So the sum total is he knows it's bad, he knows it's rotten.
For us, he knows it's nothing anybody wants.
He knows that once people are actually enrolled into his version of uh health care reform, and by the way, this public option business, I keep hearing people talk about, well, we're gonna go forward without a there it the whole thing is a public option.
When the government does and takes over health care, the whole thing's a public option.
It's just semantics at work here that the Democrats are working on.
Have you have you heard a uh there was a uh proposal, bipartisan duo, Representative Brian Baird, Washington Democrat Greg Walden, Oregon Republican, came up with a 72-hour resolution that would require all non-emergency legislation to be posted online in final form for at least 72 hours prior to a floor vote.
Representative Baird said members of Congress are too often asked to make decisions on bills that can be longer than telephone books and are only given a few hours to actually read them.
Both parties are guilty and both should stop doing it.
So they proposed a 72-hour period, which ought not be necessary because Obama promised a week.
Remember one of the favorite words he used to describe his administration, transparent.
There would be a new transparency, and there would be an end to corruption.
Well, guess who's putting the skids on this proposal?
Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi does not want voters to see any of this sausage they're making.
And it's understandable why.
People have seen some of the sausage, and it led to massive protests by quote unquote unruly mobs at town hall meetings and at tea parties.
So what we're faced here with is a Democrat Party that knows you're gonna hate what they are gonna love.
You are going to revolt against what they are going to implement.
They want to protect themselves from you having any idea what it is before it is implemented.
Because after it's implemented, it's too late.
And with its implementation, particularly health care comes the right in the part of government to regulate and legislate every aspect of life, every aspect of your daily behavior.
In other words, regulate your liberty, regulate your freedom.
That's why they're not worried about it.
You don't like it, tough toenails.
You don't like it, take this.
You don't like it, big deal.
You can't do anything about it.
The arrogance and the condescension in what used to be a representative republic is now turned into a nation of one-party rule where the biggest enemy that the leaders of this country think they face is their own people.
Not Mahmoud Ahmadini Zad, not Hugo Chavez, not Daniel Ortega, not Gaddafi, not the Russians, not the Norks, not the Chinese, the biggest enemy.
The biggest enemy Obama faces, the biggest enemy Pelosi and Reed face, the American people.
We'll be back.
Your phone calls next.
Stay with us.
Take you back to uh March of 2008, then we'll get to the Phones.
March of 2008.
Hillary Clinton ran an ad, Hillary for President ad, and the ad has been scrubbed from her website.
There is no YouTube version of it.
It has been taken down.
You cannot find it anywhere.
But I have the transcript of the ad, a little 30-second ad, and it this was it.
The announcer opens by saying, Barack Obama says he has the judgment to be president.
But as chairman of an oversight committee charged with the force of fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, he was too busy running for president to hold even one hearing.
Then they quote Obama.
Well, have Obama actually saying, Hey, I became chairman.
This committee.
Beginning campaign 2007, so yeah, it's true.
We have not had one oversight, a hearing on Afghanistan.
Actually, he never did conduct a hearing.
The announcer comes back and says Hillary Clinton will never be too busy to defend our national security, bringing our troops home from Iraq and pursuing Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
And it closes with the I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.
He can't find the ad on YouTube.
It's been scrubbed from her website.
Don't forget she was given twenty million dollars to help retire her campaign fund by a lot of cooperation.
And this is Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton of all but warned us of this.
This is SmackDab in the middle of Operation Chaos, by the way, March of 2008.
To the phones we go, Sarah in Las Vegas, your first.
It's great to have you with us today.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Um, I have a I'm a little nervous, so I got a 19-year-old grandson in the Army, and he's supposed to deploy to Afghanistan in June of next year.
He wants to go.
But I'm very nervous about it.
And I just wonder what you think Obama's gonna do.
You know, I we we uh we took a call from a distressed mother in Texas, I think it was last week.
Same identical circumstance, other than her son is going before next June.
And I've I must uh t I really feel for you.
I I I don't know if I had a son that wanted to go.
I'm I'm thinking about the you know the troops that are there.
I'm thinking, what must they think?
What must they what what is their morale?
Their commander has asked for more troops, otherwise the whole thing they go down the tubes, and the guy's flying off to Denmark on a Chicago Olympics bid.
Uh he's on television all over the place talking about health care.
He's putting the decision off, pending a strategy review.
Meanwhile, the North Koreans and the Iranians are launching test missiles, and they send this doofus Gibbs, the White House press secretary out there, to give a statement.
Gibbs is saying Iran must demonstrate it will give up weapons program.
The world doesn't care what Gibbs says.
The world wants to hear what Obama says about it, but Obama's too busy trying to get the Olympics in Chicago, and who the hell knows what else?
Uh Sarah, I I um to I don't I I and I the fact is I don't know what Obama's gonna do in Afghanistan.
All I can tell you is that he has said, I need to find this quote.
I need we we we I think we had it as an audio soundbite.
Certainly we can find the text of the quote.
He said he's he's troubled with the whole concept of victory in Afghanistan.
It reminded him of how humiliating it must have been for the Japanese to sign the surrender treaty uh World War II aboard the USS Missouri.
I read that I was aghast.
I I uh uh you I think if you listen to what the man said at the UN, he doesn't believe that.
Well, to die for a cause that for a noble cause is a noble thing.
I I believe that.
But to go over there with you don't even care if there's a victory.
It that's I it's pathetic.
I'm just I'm just so sick of it.
Look at I under I I uh quote uh former president, I feel your pain.
I mean, I really do.
You've had this man speak at the United Nations last week that uh we're all equal here.
They're no nation any better than any others.
Uh we're not we know the days of us being a superpower essentially are finished.
Well, Netanyahu, to me, his his speech was just off the charts.
I I was actually crying when he was giving a speech.
It was so moving.
And our president got up and apologized for America, which I believe is the greatest country on earth.
And there's nothing wrong with being great.
But that's not what we're hearing tonight.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I can't emphasize this enough.
In the world of Barack Obama, the thing the things that made us great are unjust and immoral and are uh examples of imperialism.
Do you realize look at what he said to the United Nations?
For those of you who think my country can't change, I ask you simply look at the last eight months.
I mean, that is a dangerous dangerous self-absorption.
I know, and uh, you know, I have a grandson that's got you know, I have a vested interest in in this, which I always have had, but it's very personal now.
So one extra I understand you're saying it's personal, but but for all of us it is.
This is our country.
Exactly.
It's your son, but your son's ours when your son goes to battle.
Everybody's son is ours.
And I've met so many at his graduation from basic training at he uh he just went through aerosol school.
I I've met so many young men that want to do what they're doing.
They all do volunteer.
It is like, you know, that would be the last thing that I would want to do, but I just am so thankful for young men and women.
So are so are we all, and that's why that's why we get angry, upset when we see them being undercut.
And remember, this is not new.
Last five years, Obama and his party single-handedly fought for their defeat in Iraq.
Single-handedly fought for it, tried to demoralize, accused them of rape and murder with no evidence whatsoever.
In the world of Barack Obama, the United States is the problem.
He, in his warped ego, is the solution.
And that's undeniable, and that's where we are.
That's who we elected.
God bless Sarah.
Um, I'm I'm confident that America has not changed as Obama believes it has or wants to make it change, and that this can be beat back.
If I didn't think that, I'd chuck it.
And I'd spend the rest of my days making sure the last check I wrote bounced.
Tom in Portland, Oregon.
Welcome to the well, I would.
Welcome to the EIV network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
It's an honor to talk to you.
Thank you, sir.
Well, hey, I want to uh let you know that I disagree with your characterization of uh Chavez and Ahmadinejad and Kim Jal.
I do not think these guys are insane.
I think they know exactly what they do they're doing, and I think they're playing for keeps, and we uh we've got our eyes closed to that in this administration.
Well, we're we're splitting hairs here on insane.
I I think that it is truly insane for one country to want to wipe another off the map just because I think it's truly insane to want to engage in mass murder and genocide for bigoted reasons.
I I I for any reason.
I I think it's absolutely insane.
Now, are they smart tacticians?
Yeah.
They've got a man child that they've wrapped around their little finger.
This guy's ego is so out of control, he thinks he has them right where he wants them.
He still believes that all this melodic talk is going to change the world forever.
Savior of the world.
You know, he's in battle with Bill Clinton for that.
They both think they're saviors of the world.
Clinton is global initiative and Obama with his presidency.
But look at evil is evil.
These guys, Ahmadini Zod, and Kim Jong-il and Chavez, for people who don't know world history, they're very common.
These are very com that that is the history of the world.
Torture, tyranny, lack and no liberty, poverty, squalid conditions.
Look at the history of the world.
That that is what is so exceptional about the United States of America.
We say the whole concept of American exceptionalism, it's not that we're better than anybody else.
It's not that we're special human beings.
Because we're no different from any other human being in the planet.
DNA is identical.
Brain the same.
Structure, all created the same.
The exception is the way we govern ourselves.
Freedom as dominant.
That's the exception.
And that's what Obama finds a problem.
It is not exceptional to him.
So these guys are playing him like the sap that he is.
He's going to be tested.
Biden was right.
Here it is.
It was from July 29th of this year.
Obama was uh giving a TV interview with ABC News.
And here's ABC News report.
Victory and not necessarily goal in Afghanistan, quote Obama.
President Obama has put securing Afghanistan near the top of his foreign policy agenda, but victory is not necessarily the U.S. goal, he said Thursday in a TV interview.
I'm always worried about using the word victory, because you know it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.
We're not dealing with nation states at this point.
We're concerned with Al Qaeda and the Taliban, Al Qaeda's allies.
So when you have a non-state actor, a shadowy operation like Al Qaeda, our goal is to make sure they can't attack the U.S. I don't know that victory is what we're looking for there.
And yet, July 15th of 2008, Associated Press contending that the U.S. is not pursuing a sound strategy for keeping Americans safe.
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama said Tuesday that fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan would be his top priority after ending the war in Iraq.
This is a war we have to win, Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery at the International Trade Center in Washington.
So, July 15, 2008, this is a war we have to win.
July 29th, 2009.
I'm always worried about using the word victory, because you know it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing us through.
I don't think it was Emperor Hirohito, was it?
I don't think that's um so anyway, just more evidence Obama talked one way during the campaign, and uh it was not true.
He is governing as who he really is.
Washington Times, fearful that they're losing ground on immigration and health care.
A group of House Democrats is pushing back and arguing that any health care bill should extend to all legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants some access.
The Democrats trying to stiffen their party's spines on the contentious issue, say it's unfair to bar illegal immigrants from paying their own way in a government-sponsored exchange.
Legal immigrants, they say, regardless of how long they've been in the country, should be able to get government subsidized health care if they meet the other requirements.
Legal permanent residents should be able to purchase their plans, and they should also be eligible for subsidies if they need it, undocumented if they can afford it, should be able to buy their own private plans.
It keeps them out of the emergency rooms that Representative Michael Honda, California Democrat, chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American caucus.
Now, does anybody realize the flaw in this aside?
Aside from the utter illegality of it.
And aside from the braziness, they're actually out there.
We we gotta we gotta ensure we gotta we gotta make health care accessible for illegals.
Shoring up their spines on the contentious issue of health care and immigration.
The flaw in this, why would an illegal buy health insurance when the emergency rooms right there?
Why would an illegal do it?
There isn't gonna be a private plan to buy into anyway.
Why would an illegal risk registering and then pay the fine for not having health insurance when the emergency room's right down the street?
So the real the real ploy here is to use legal immigrants as a wedge to get illegal aliens taxpayers subsidized down the room.
I'll tell you what.
At the end of the day, folks, the illegals are going to be covered.
That is the objective.
Obama says no, but he has to say that.
That's why the number 47 million uninsured miraculously became 30 million.
Back to the phones.
John and Paducah, Kentucky.
Hello, sir.
You're next in the EIB network.
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
A first-time caller.
I've listened to you for about a year.
The reason I called is uh, you know, I was listening to Clinton's comments earlier that you were playing, and I'm getting really sick and tired of all these politicians who say, well, the American people want, well, the public want.
How do they know?
Because they aren't talking to us.
You know, like here in Kentucky, I call my congressmen senators a lot, and they they don't want to hear from me.
I get some aide who claims she's taking my comments, and a couple weeks later I get some form letter that doesn't even have an original signature on it.
It's been copied.
So how do they know what we want?
You know, I've heard people call into your show from other states.
Let me tell you.
Not only they know what we want.
That's why they're trying to ram it down our throats right now, but not implement it till 2013.
They know exactly.
They can read the polls.
It doesn't matter to them.
But you're you're you're very shrewd.
Do you remember during the Lewinsky circumstance, every night on CNN and MSNBC.
It would be one Democrat uh uh consultant after another.
If it was either Lanny Davis or it was uh idiot guy's last name is Penn.
Uh Doug Shon, whatever.
They would they had a phrase.
The American people don't want this president.
The American people don't want the American people want this president left only.
The American They just it's their arrogance.
It's it's their attempt to shape public opinion.
Right.
Oh, well, that's just like you know, that's just like with health care.
You know, they claim that it's this pub this private our private insurance are nothing but corrupt and greedy and money hungry, and yet they are clinging to it like glue.
They want nothing to do with this public option that they are trying to push on all of us.
That should turn on a light bulb in every single American.
It has.
It look at overall support is 41% down from 42% last week, opposition 56%, and that is the magic bullet question.
Oh, are you gonna go in this public option you're writing for us?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Uh of course we're not going to uh we're not gonna be doing that.
Uh I I I think American people are up to speed on this a lot.
Look at there's a summary here that Rasmussen put out on Saturday of polls.
And let me sum this up for you.
Sixty-six percent of the country is angry with the radical far-left agenda Pelosi and Obama are pushing on America.
36% are very angry, and 59% say the current level of anger is worse than it was during the Bush years.
Few nations are as generous with their time and money as the U.S., but right now Americans are a suspicious bunch.
This is Rasmussen.
Uploaded on Saturday.
66%.
That's two-thirds.
Sixty-six percent of voters nationwide say they are at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government, 36% very angry.
Despite the high level of political anger last year that helped fuel Obama's election, 59% say the current level of political anger in the country is higher than it was when Bush was president.
Now, if this surprises you, understand why.
You don't see any of this anger reflected in media coverage.
You see the tea parties and you see the town halls, and you see the people being mocked and made fun of.
The protests against Bush and all the anger was promoted and it was amplified, and it was made to look like the whole country hated Bush.
The whole country wanted to lose Iraq.
The whole country wanted to get out.
The whole country wanted Bush assassinate, a whole country Wanted this, that, the other thing.
The country right now is angrier than it was at Bush.
But you don't know it because it's not being reported.
Rasmussen says a lot of that anger is directed at the people who are spending billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer money.
That helps explain why members of Congress have now surpassed corporate CEOs to hold the least favorably regarded profession in the country.
Members of Congress rate lower than CEOs.
And the Democrat Party and Obama have launched an all-out assault on CEOs ever since February.
Then on TV 24 7.
Just 16% of voters give Congress good or excellent ratings now that it's back from uh the August recess.
That's down seven points from its uh highest rating of 2009, which was reached in late May.
Fifty-three percent say that Congress is doing a poor job.
Obama's approval index remains in negative uh territory as well as in the Rasmussen report's daily presidential tracking poll.
And despite the president's call for urgent action, Americans continue to send mixed signals about the dangers of climate change.
Forty-seven percent reject the idea that they are selfish putting economic concerns ahead of the fight against global warming.
Twenty-nine percent of adults take the opposite view, believe Americans are being selfish for putting the economy first.
There is no agenda item that is crucially important to Bam that he's winning on.
There is no agenda item that the American people by a majority support.
Not one.
But you would never know it.
But trust me, the anger out there is real, and it's not a phony trumped up rage.
It's not bought and paid for by the media, it is genuine.
And that's why they're actually frightened by it.
And I'll tell you, Obama is remaking, he's destroying the best economic system ever created.
And the results are in free market capitalism has never let us down.
From time to time, we let the system down because we are all human after all.
But there's no evidence of a better system than free market capitalism operating in a country which values individual liberty.
On the other hand, there is ample evidence that regulators in Washington are deeply flawed in their thinking and corrupt in their behavior.
Only a fool throws the baby out with the bathwater.
Do you realize do you you know where the phrase throw the baby out with the bathwater came from?
You like to know where.
You have to go back to tutor times.
The tutor people bathed once a year.
They thought bathing caused harm.
They bathed in May.
They all got pregnant a week after that.
When they took the bath, the man of the house got the water first.
He got out, then the mother, then all the kids.
The last per they didn't change the water.
The last person it was the baby.
And by that time, the water was so dirty that sometimes the kids got thrown out with the bath water.
So the phrase, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater was born.
They bathed once a year.
In the same tub.
I know.
I know it's it's hard to it's it's difficult to believe out there.
And anyway, Obama is sitting around destroying all this, and people see that it's their future and their kids' future, their livelihoods being destroyed.
They want no part of it.
Fifty-two percent the unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded to 52.2%, a post-World War II high.
This is according to Obama's own labor department.
This means that millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and combined with the predicted slow economic recovery job-wise, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.
Fifty-two point two percent.
Grab audio sound by twenty-one quickly.
I want you to hear this before we go to the break.
ABC's nightline, July twenty third, two thousand nine.
Terry Moran asked Obama, please define victory in Afghanistan, or maybe that's the right word.
Define it for me.
I'm always, you know, worried about using the word victory because you know it evokes this notion of Emperor Eurohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.
You know, we're not dealing with nation states uh at this point.
We're concerned with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Al Qaeda's allies.
That's enough.
I don't hear him mispronounced Taliban.
So it's those words there.
Victory, I'm always worried about using the word victory.
And besides, and I was right, Hirohito did not come down from the hills and sign the surrender papers.
Back after this.
I mean I was sitting here thinking about this Olympics business still.
And I'm remembering what Obama said last Wednesday at the United Nations.
And I'm asking myself, why should Chicago get the Olympics?
Why should we get the Olympics?
We've had more than our fair share of Olympics.
Why should we get the well, they say it's economic stimulus, and I think it's a net loss, but anyway, why why why should we hog all these Olympics?
No Olympics have ever been held in Africa or South America, and you know that.
We've never had an Olympics in the Southern Hemisphere.
Well, at least not in those two countries.
Why why why, based on his speech, why should we be hogging all these Olympics?
Let Rio de Janeiro have it.
Better yet, better yet, maybe maybe hold the Olympics in Kenya.
And Obama's brother could make some money renting out his hut to Bob Costas.
Certainly be big enough for him.
Karen in Western Michigan, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thank you, Ross.
Yes.
Um, I am a mother of a soldier who deployed to Afghanistan the end of July with the 5th Brigade's 2nd Infantry Division.
And I thank you for all the good comments you've been making today about the policy of Barack Obama in the Mideast and throughout the world.
I had one more point that concerns me, and that is that Iranian missiles are able to reach our bases in Afghanistan in Iraq.
And I'm concerned for my son and the other soldiers.
Yes, ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.
I uh you are now, I don't know, the third or fourth call of the parent from a parent of a member of the U.S. military.
And I totally totally understand the emotion you have about this.
This this is this is um it's really unprecedented.
I think the closest we could probably come to this was the latter stages of the Vietnam War.
And then, of course, we had the draft, which really made that these these people are all volunteering.
Well, speaking of the draft, isn't it about time for that?
I mean, you know, Charlie Wrangle was always trying to embarrass President Bush by suggesting we needed a draft.
Yeah.
Chuck, Chuck, I know Chuck Wrangle's busy trying to find more millions of hidden dollars he hadn't reported to the uh to the IRS.
The European Union said today that it wants the manufacturers of MP3 players like iPods and things to put limits on the volume.
The EU's consumer affairs commissioner, Megalina Kuneva, said experts and industry will toughen the standards to limit hearing loss.
If you want to enjoy your favorite songs in 20 or 30 years' time, turn down the volume.
Action is necessary because there is cause for concern over health risks, especially to younger people.
Sorry, an EU scientific advisory board says between two and a half and ten million Europeans could, but they might not, could suffer hearing loss from listening to MP3 players at unsafe volumes, over 89 decibels For more than an hour daily for at least five years.
So they're gonna put governors, essentially, limits.
State-controlled limits on the volumes of MP3 players.
Mandate the manufacturers do it in the European Union.
Back after this.
I missed this story on September 1st.
Ben and Jerry's temporarily renaming Chubby Hubby Ice Cream Hubby Hubby Ice Cream to celebrate the start of legalized gay marriage in Vermont.
Now, Big Macs are immoral and need to be taxed because they encourage obesity.
But Ben and Jerry's hubby hubby ice cream needs to be subsidized because it promotes tolerance and diversity.
