Time Text
Man, I tell you, I feel like the CIA.
I've got so much stuff coming in here, I can't keep track of it anymore.
I need to shut down the printer.
I need to shut down my email for the three hours of this program.
Hang on, I reorganize this stuff.
We just came in here, folks.
Okay, greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh here at the EIB Network, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here, as always.
The telephone number, if you want to join us, is 800-282-2882.
Email address, lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
Well, guess what's going to happen in eight minutes or now?
Well, scheduled for eight minutes from now.
President Obama is going to make a public statement on the 90% reduction in salaries and bonuses of these seven firms that he runs.
And now, remember now, he didn't know anything about it.
If Feinberg went out there, he was total authority to go out, and Obama didn't know about it.
So Obama's going to talk about it.
Now, one thing we know, when Obama used to do these things, it was like right at 12.06 when this program started.
That wasn't working out well.
Numbers started tanking and so forth.
So they kept all the bad news when they really, really, really wanted to do something that they wanted to get a solid footing in the public's mind.
They started at 3.06 when this program was over.
Now he's coming out there at 2.15 today to what it can only be to gloat.
It can only be to gloat about this.
All right, Limbaugh doesn't like it.
I knew he wouldn't like it right in the middle of his show.
I'm going to go out there and gloat about it.
So that's coming.
We're not going to jip it.
No, we're not going to jip it.
I'll have cookie roll on it.
We'll take the high points, low points, whatever they are.
Federal Reserve.
I bet Obama didn't know this either.
Federal Reserve proposed new guidelines on pay practices at banks and said it will launch a review of the 28 largest firms to ensure compensation packages don't create incentives for the kind of risky investments blamed for the financial crisis.
So you see, my friends, it's not just these seven that took bailout money.
Now 28 of the largest firms to ensure compensation packages don't create incentives for the kinds of risky investments blamed for the financial crisis.
Foot in the door.
Open the door.
You know, I said last hour, I feel like I'm in that balloon racing across the Colorado sky.
And because I feel like a sitting duck, it's a big balloon and anybody can take a shot at it.
We're all in it.
We're all in that balloon.
We're all bubble people.
And I'm sure Obama didn't know that Bernanke was going to do this.
Of course not.
Of course not.
I'm sure he's been told now.
He'll go out and give us his gloating reactions to it.
Okay, let me just start with the headlines.
Let me just wham, bam, get through this and because I'm losing ground here and keeping you informed, but I get sidetracked with so much stuff here.
From CNNMoney.com.
Losing their lifeline, 7,000 a day.
As the Senate debates whether to extend unemployment benefits, more than 200,000 jobless Americans are set to see their checks stop in October.
Go ahead and read the story.
And it's government has to find a way.
The government has to find a way to extend the benefits.
Why are you people in government not looking at ways to put people back to work?
Daniel Henninger, Wall Street Journal.
We're all balloon boys now with fakery everywhere today.
People retreat into a shell of cynicism about everything.
The balloon boy floating over Colorado last week got me thinking the Obama Photo Op airliner flying around lower Manhattan last April at 9-11 altitude.
Now, this is not to suggest the Obama presidency is a hoax, though more on that later.
It is to suggest that it's getting harder to know what's real and unreal in a world that always seems to be slipping slightly out of focus.
The best thing to emerge from the balloon boy story, other than the uncontestable fact that six-year-old Falcon Heen was safe on the ground, is that the guy who did it thought that staging a hoax would get him into reality TV programming.
It had come to this.
In 1938, Orson Welles caused a sensation when he did a reality radio broadcast announcing a Martian invasion.
Now we get the equivalent of a Martian invasion almost every day or almost every hour.
This week, the mainstream media have been learning the danger of living in a cut-and-paste world.
CNN's Rick Sanchez issued an apology for saying, after being totally shamed by it, and the apology came after the damage was done, by the way, saying during the Rush Limbaugh controversy, Limbaugh had spoken approvingly of American slavery.
No basis for the quotation, which had been lifted from a book or newspaper with fakery everywhere, some of it amusing, some of it not funny.
People's ability to know where things fall on the spectrum between fact and falsity becomes so compromised that they retreat into a shell of cynicism about everything.
And there's a lot to process.
9-11 deniers, Iranian Holocaust deniers, Obama birthers, Lily Tommin.
Tomlin provided the epigraph for our age.
I try to be cynical, but it's hard to keep up.
The Tea Parties were ridiculed as right-wing activism.
They're actually the only real thing we've seen in the past year.
The current president seems taken aback that so many doubt his good intentions, but politicians trying to sell big things, whether Obamacare, privatized Social Security, or even wars, need to get better at what they do.
We're all balloon boys now, learning every day how to make sure the clever people don't take us for a ride.
By the way, you know that Chamber of Commerce hoaxer?
MSNBC had him on last night.
CNN the night before.
He's all over MSNBC.
A hoaxer, a fraud, a fake, a phony, portraying himself at a phony press conference as a member of the Chamber of Commerce is now a celebrated guest on what has become news pornography, CNN, and MSNBC.
Associated Press, Kerry becomes all-around advisor to Obama.
Now, folks, see, I can't just do the headline to this story.
Because there is so much here in this one story, the liberals promoting their failures.
John Kerry, the sycophantic state-run AP, the idea that we're doing everything for Tebby, the irrelevance of Hillary Clinton, the Democrat Party is a banana republic.
This one AP story is one large teachable moment.
So I can't just do the headline.
Kerry becomes all-around advisor to Obama.
He's not president, a cabinet member, or an ambassador, but Senator John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, has ascended to the unofficial role of Obama's global advisor on key issues that could reshape the nation's image around the world.
Well, good God, I can't.
Mediating Afghanistan's presidential election vaulted Kerry from the already prominent chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee into the most exclusive circle around a new president who is juggling but has not resolved a variety of domestic and foreign policy matters.
Let me break this down.
Kerry mediated Afghanistan's election, which is now called corrupt by Obama and the UN, who promptly hire Kerry as a key advisor.
Resume enhancement by why not go all the way and send Jimmy Carter over there to make sure the runoff is fair.
Beyond policy, Kerry knows how Washington works.
Kerry and Obama also share a political pedigree.
Both were mentored by Senator Kennedy.
What?
We're going to lose the war for Teddy now?
Is that what's going on?
Lose the war for Teddy.
Screw it all up for Teddy.
We're both mentored by Teddy.
Screw it up for Teddy.
And while you're at it, screw somebody for Teddy.
Obviously, Senator Kerry is.
Sorry, I have to laugh at that one myself.
Obviously.
Still no sign of Obama.
Obviously, Senator Kerry, somebody who had a broad range of experience with a lot of broads and an in-depth knowledge of issues ranging from energy and climate change to health care to foreign policy and Swiss cheese on a Philly cheesesteak.
I think that experience and insight that Obama greatly values.
Oh, this is comforting.
This is heartwarming.
Obama cherishes and greatly values the experience and insight of John Kerry.
That cannot be overstated.
You just did overstate it, AP.
Obama made his debut on the national stage at the 2004 presidential convention at which Democrats nominated Kerry to challenge George W. Bush.
I'm here because of you, Obama wrote Kerry on the January day he was immaculated.
The note is framed and hangs on Kerry's office wall.
See, I should have given you a hurl alert.
Go grab a wastebasket for your puke.
It's what I feel like going through this story, and I'm not even halfway through it.
I really tried to be the utility, you know, the hitter-fielder at the time, the 64-year-old Kennedy said, his voice hoarse, his hip sore after an overnight flight.
Oh, oh, sore hip overnight flight home for mediating a fraudulent election.
What is it about the libs and the trauma of having to fly on luxury jets?
They fly on luxury jets, they go over there to get always involved somehow in snipper fire.
Karzai, Kerry said, felt deeply that he had won the election and he was being insulted for trying to have a Democrat process.
Kerry could relate.
Oh, my God.
So the AP here now dutifully comparing a fraudulent Afghanistan election to what, 2000 or 2004?
Or both?
Folks, I lost my place.
Hang on.
Cohen, Kerry could relate.
What, now Kerry really won somehow?
Bush stole that one too?
Do I understand the day after an election where you think you've won or you have votes that weren't counted or something?
Been there, done that, Kerry.
Folks, do you realize Kerry only thought he won because they believed the exit polls, the exit polls, told Kerry he was the winner when the real votes were counted is when the Democrats, uh-oh, there's fraud.
Kerry's playing touchdown at home around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday by lunchtime.
He was advising Obama at the White House.
Kerry says he advised the president to know the outcome of the Afghan elections before sending more troops there.
You know what?
As I go through this, I'm just, I realize it's a damn good thing that we didn't wait for Hitler to lose an election before we landed at Normandy.
We'll be back, folks.
They will.
Hot chocolate, everyone's a winner.
I got an email right before, about a half hour ago, actually.
And the subject line of the email, sleep number bed.
Dear Rush, I'm a retired cop.
I retired after 16 years with a bad back.
I don't want to have surgery, so I do all I can short of surgery to try to minimize the pain in my back.
One thing I did on your advice was buy a sleep number bed five years ago.
It helped my back more than therapy or painkillers.
One year ago, I had to move in with my aging parents.
My dad's 93.
They can't be alone.
I left my bed at my house.
Big mistake.
Conventional mattress is no match for the sleep number bed.
I'm in pain again.
The only reason I didn't move my bed one year ago is I didn't know how long I'd be staying.
Now it looks indefinite.
So as soon as I can figure out what to do with my mom's guest bed, I'll have to move my bed here.
I can't say enough about that bed, the sleep number bed.
It is everything you say and more.
Just came.
It's a subscriber to Rush 24-7.
I could not have said it better, nor will I try.
But her name is Janice.
I will not mention her last name, but Janice, thanks very much.
The sleep number bed.
You ought to go try one.
You can take the sleep number challenge exclusively at a Select Comfort Sleep Number store.
There are over, I mean, there are thousands of them out there.
There's got to be one close to you.
By the way, this week, Select Comfort's introducing the Sleep Number Classic Series Special Edition bed at a huge savings of $500 off.
It's available for a limited time and only while supplies last.
The Sleep Number Classic Series Special Edition bed, 400 stores nationwide.
A Select Comfort store has to be right around the corner.
Just call 1-800, get a bed.
1-800-GETA-BED and ask.
All right, Obama still hasn't shown up out there to gloat over his financial raping of Wall Street.
So back to the headlines.
This is from the Business Insider.
Walmart and eBay agree.
This Christmas will stink.
Walmart emailed Christmas will stink.
Government TV climate ad is propaganda.
This is from the UK Telegraph.
Now, there's a link here where you can watch the ad in question.
What it is, is a daddy reading a horrible story on global warming to a little girl who's about five or six years old whose face shows utter fear.
Is there a happy ending, Daddy?
Is there a happy ending?
Now, Janet Daly is a columnist at the UK Telegraph.
She is and has spent all of her political life on the left.
She writes of this ad, the government's trying to terrify you.
That's the only possible interpretation of its latest television advertising campaign on the supposed dangers of global warming.
Whether or not you accept the scientific premises behind the bedtime story advert, which is now to be investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority after attracting over 350 complaints, there's no question it's propaganda in its strict technical sense of the word.
That is to say, it's an attempt by the state to manipulate opinion and evoke emotional reactions without offering argument or evidence for its case.
It accepts uncritically the most extreme rendition of the anthropogenic global warming narrative as if it were entirely uncontentious and presents it in the most sentimentally evocative possible way, i.e. as a threat to one's own children and to defenseless creatures generally.
It uses the techniques once associated with totalitarian societies, not to persuade, but to coerce, to create fear and guilt.
A liberal in the UK denouncing a government-run ad that does just that.
Speaking of which, this is from the Pew Research Center.
There's been a sharp decline over the past year in the percentage of Americans who say that there is solid evidence of global temperatures are rising.
Fewer also see global warming as a very serious problem.
35% today down from 44% in April of 2008.
More people worried about the economy.
But still, 57% believe that there's solid evidence the earth is warming.
36% believe it's because of human activity, which is it's still too high, but the numbers are plummeting.
The number of people who believe it.
Rosie O'Donnell acknowledges issues with spouse.
Rosie O'Donnell says that she had her spouse of five years, Kelly Carpenter, undergoing a rough patch in the relationship.
Passes up a chance to refute speculation that carpenters moved out of their home in Nyack, New York, and into an apartment in Manhattan.
That's a real shocker.
Rosie O'Donnell's relationship and a rough patch.
Obama refocuses bailout on small business.
President Obama unveiled plans yesterday to refocus spending of the government's $700 billion financial bailout away from Wall Street's big financial institutions because we've already taken control of them towards small businesses on Main Street.
Now, see how this works?
I hope some of you small business people are not going, yeah, yeah, yeah, help me out, help me out, because then Obama will tell you how much you can earn.
Don't take it.
I have to think.
I really have to think.
I see, probably see more of the news than most people do.
And I'm going to tell you that there is a survey, a poll, a study I've missed as the one that tells us what small business owners want.
Have you seen the poll that small business owners want to bail out?
Have you seen it?
You see a lot of news sterling.
I haven't seen it either.
I'm guessing, ladies and gentlemen, that what they want is not help from Obama.
But I'm guessing that most small business people want Obama to get out of their way.
Not that he cares.
But I don't think most small businesses, which are basically a bunch of entrepreneurs, are excited about Obama coming in to help them.
Deserted shopping mall, bleak symbol of Fed bailout from Oklahoma City.
A $29 billion trail from the Federal Reserve's bailout of Wall Street Investment Bank Bear Stearns ends in a partially deserted shopping center on a bleak spot on the south side of Oklahoma City.
The Fed now owns the Crossroads Mall, a sprawling shopping complex, complete with an oil well pumping crude in the car park, except the Fed doesn't own the mineral rights yet.
But at any rate, it's abandoned.
Fed owns it.
Bleak symbol of Fed bailout.
No, it's a bleak symbol of Obamaomics, which I guess is the same thing.
Calypso Louis Farrakhan says that the H1N1 flu virus was developed to kill people.
The earth cannot take six and a half million people.
We just can't feed that many.
So what do you do?
You kill as many as you can.
So we've developed the flu virus to kill people.
Calypso Louis Farrakhan.
Check the email during the break.
Rush sounded like you didn't think Farrakhan's kind of loopy here for saying that the swine flu was developed to kill people.
Folks, it's hard to disagree with him on this.
I mean, after the stories we have discussed just this week on cancer testing now being no good, we've cash for no babies, carbon credits for not having babies.
That's the only way to save the planet.
We got death panels in Florida.
We have an administration in love with the teachings of Chairman Mao.
So Farrakhan comes along and says that the swine flu is developed to kill people.
Oh, no, the vaccine.
I'm sorry.
Swine flu vaccine developed to kill people.
And he seems perfectly within the realm of reality to me with all the other news that's going on out there.
He said that the people who won't take the vaccine are wise, which includes me.
Minister Farrakhan has unknowingly, probably, pronounced me as wise.
Now, at any other point of my life, I would have thought, wow, this guy's lost his marbles.
The true fruitcake has gone over the edge in an order of fries short of a happy meal.
But how can you, with everything else going on in the country today, how in the world can you just discard this?
All right, Angie in Beaufort.
Is it Beaufort or Buford, North Carolina?
Hello.
Yeah, hi.
Hi, Rush.
I just want you to know, first off, that I am completely blown away and honored to talk to you, and I'm a little bit nervous.
So I hope you bear with me.
I would be nervous, too, talking to me.
Fortunately, I don't have to.
Well, I was watching Oprah yesterday.
Oh, no.
At one time, I was very socialistic in my thinking and in my belief.
And for the longest time, I mean, you would really turn me around.
I listen to you often.
And, I mean, you seem to know what's going on in the country when no one else has a clue.
And more often than not, everything that you say turns out to be valid, and you're very credible.
But in watching Oprah yesterday, and I figured if there was a question mark that was in my mind after viewing the show, then she also influenced a great many viewers because she has a large audience herself.
Yeah, but you know what?
That audience is not what it was.
It's not as large as it was.
That's why she's having Sarah Palin on there in November sweeps.
Sarah Palin's going on November 16th, the time talking about her book.
Oprah's fans are livid about this.
Hello?
Yeah, hello.
Testing one, too.
Holy offer.
Well, okay.
Snurdley, quickly, what was her point?
The Oprah show was a story on the happiest countries, and the happiest countries are the five happiest countries or socialist countries.
And Oprah was impressed, or Angie was impressed.
Angie was impressed when she saw an Oprah that the five happiest countries in the world are socialist.
And Angie was so her faith is shaken here.
And she wanted me to restore order.
And we lose the call.
Well, somebody obviously did not want me to get Angie's mind right.
Just could be the FBI Los Angeles office.
Who knows, folks?
First, they're telling people to call here and listen, and then they do.
And then callers with deep intel that nobody else knows about happen to just be disconnected in the middle of their point.
Audio soundbite number 28.
They sit out there and they talk about Fox not being real news, that Fox is more an agenda, is more an attitude.
Fox is just horrible.
Fox is like talk radio.
All right.
Andrea Mitchell had Senator Lamar Alexander on this afternoon complaining about his comparing the Nixon administration to the Obama administration as enemies list business.
So here is Andrea Mitchell.
We're just going to play the question for you, badgering Alexander.
Remember, this is MSNBC.
They do real news at MSNBC.
It's Fox that's like talk radio.
Listen to this.
What prompted you to go to the floor of the Senate and make this accusation?
You're talking about interest groups that have gone out, made campaign ads now against key elements of the president's program.
What's wrong in going after them?
You're not suggesting that the Obama White House has revitalized and recaptured that attitude and that kind of approach to politics.
We're talking about breaking and injuring the plumbers.
I don't think you want to go there, Senator, saying that this White House, at least in what it's done publicly or what we know it's done privately, has even reached the level of threats and pressure of the Nixon White House.
My goodness.
So here she is, a real newswoman lecturing us in, I don't think you want to go there, Senator.
I might tell Obama what you said.
I don't think you want to go there, Senator.
This administration has gone far beyond what Richard Nixon even contemplated.
This administration is targeting individual private citizens and a network.
This administration is doing everything it can to silence and put out of business its opposition or its critics.
Nixon was just trying to get a fair shake.
That's amazing.
All right, Pombay, Florida.
Steve, welcome to the EIB Network.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush.
Love what you do.
You need you and Sean and Glenn need to keep it up, please.
You need you.
Hey, I'd like to comment on that Texas caller agreeing with Pesar about cutting their top wages on these companies.
I'd like to know what you'll think when government runs health insurance, health care, and dictates the wages of nurses and doctors.
Well, now, I want to say something about that because the Democrats are in trouble on this in the Senate because there was a provision in the Baucus bill to cut the reimbursements or the payments that doctors were going to get, and this was causing defections from doctors in the AMA.
So Harry Reid took an amendment to the Senate floor yesterday to delay for 10 years that provision trying to buy the doctors, and it went down in flames because everybody knew what it was.
It was special interest politics.
It was not about health care.
It was a bribe trying to buy off the doctors.
A whole lot of senators didn't want to go there.
So that's the detail of what happened yesterday.
Your question for the guy in Texas.
Yeah, not only telling the doctors how much they can and can't make, but telling you, the patient, whether you're going to get treated or not.
Absolutely.
What's next?
The police, firemen, teachers, how much they can make?
It'll never end.
These people need to wake up.
I know.
You're exactly right.
Well, and after that, telling the police and fire which crimes and fires they can respond to and which ones they can't.
Yep.
Everybody says to invest in gold, maybe we should be invested in lead for protection.
Well, okay.
Don't go there.
Don't go there.
No, no, no.
You went far enough.
Everybody understands it.
We're going to take a break here.
I think it's wise to do that now.
I am happy to report, my friends, I am cold-free.
Zycam worked last Thursday.
Now, yesterday, when I was talking about, was it yesterday, day before?
Yesterday, talking about Zycam, everybody wants to get in the act.
I mean, I'm seriously thinking of shutting down instant messaging.
I'm going to shut down the email.
I'm going to shut down the printer because everybody, I mean, I get emails from people, you need to say this, and it's two words.
You need to add this to what everybody wants to get in the act.
So I'm telling people how successful Zycam was, and I get an instant message from Dawn.
And she says, we need to find somebody besides you to tell the story.
What's wrong with me telling the story it worked?
We need to find somebody.
What?
We need to find somebody besides me to tell us.
So why don't you come in one day and tell your Zycam story then?
Okay, all right.
See, okay, Dawn's taking Zycam now because her daughter has the snipples and she doesn't want to get the snipples herself.
See how many hits the website gets here as a result of this.
Zycam cold remedy is what we're talking about here.
At the first sign you think you got a cold, whatever that is to you, take it.
It will not cure it, won't get rid of it, but it'll shorten the duration and it will lessen the degree of the symptoms.
They have a variety of forms and flavors.
They even got a new cold remedy plus line.
It comes in a liquilaws form that reduces the duration of a cold and helps relieve a sore throat at the same time.
Go to zycam.com for more information.
Always have some on hand.
It works.
I'm walking proof of it, even though my own staff says I'm not good enough.
Donna in, oh, Donna's back.
Donna's back from Buford, South Carolina.
You were just on the verge of telling us what it was you watched on the Oprah show.
We lost your call.
Shoot, I don't watch Oprah.
It wasn't me.
That was a girl from North Carolina.
My goodness.
Okay, I want to go back to the comment you made about family doctors getting money for college from the government.
And the government had to send them where they needed them.
That was in the Hillary Health Care Plan.
Well, I wanted to go back to 20 years ago when I was a young married woman.
What are you now?
I'm a middle-aged married woman.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
So I'm 45.
When I was in my early 20s, I got married young.
I decided I want to go back to college.
And neither of our parents had the money, which we were married, so, you know, we're on our own.
And we didn't have the money, but I wanted to go back to college.
And South Carolina has a program called the South Carolina Teachers Loan Program.
And at that time, it was enough money to pay for a four-year college degree.
And I live in a small town of 5,000 people.
But there is a major state-run university, Clemson University, 30 miles away from me.
So I commuted every day.
And the South Carolina Teachers Loan Program, if you made good grades and you taught in a critical geographic area, poor area, or you taught in a critical subject area, mathematics, which I did, secondary mathematics, high school math teacher, then they would pay the loan off.
And if you do one or the other, it was five years.
And they still have this loan program, but it's not enough to pay for the outrageous cost that college is today.
By the way, speaking of, I have to interrupt you here because you've just reminded me of something.
A story, again, I had yesterday didn't get to.
University tuitions all over the place, skyrocketing.
And it's the one thing nobody in government's doing anything about, complaining about, trying to reverse it's just because we have a student loan program, we have this loan program, we have that, and so forth.
So, what eventually happened with you?
And well, with me, I was very fortunate to get a job only 20 miles away from my hometown, and they paid for my loan in three years.
But here's the, because I taught in a critical geographic area and a critical subject area, they paid my loan in three years, so I got a $25,000 education for free.
But I taught where they wanted me to, and I taught, but I was doing what I wanted to do.
Now, talking about doctors taking that government money, also with that teacher's loan program in South Carolina, I didn't have to do that.
If I had decided when I finished my four-year degree, you know, I don't want to go into education, I would just have paid it back like a loan.
What is your point here?
You took the loan and they told you where you had to teach?
Yeah, well, my point is, is you make it sound like it's a problem for someone to take government money like a doctor who did not have the money to go to college.
And then, you know, the government tells you where you've got to go to practice your medicine.
I have a huge problem with that.
I have a huge problem.
No, if you have a huge problem with that.
Rush.
If you don't have the money, and that's the only way you're going to get your education, and it's probably only for four or five years that I would imagine that they want you to teach in a certain area.
I mean, practice medicine in a certain area.
Okay, let's go back to the CEO's high pay.
No, that's not.
Yeah, we are.
No, we're not.
Well, the problem there is my husband had to take a 13% pay cut this year.
And I'm sure you're all for that.
Oh, we're loving it.
So why, you know, we're loving that.
You are loving that your husband had a 13% pay cut.
No, I'm being facetious and sarcastic.
Well, you're being inconsistent because if you think the government should be able to do that, you cannot hear me.
If you think the government should tell you where you can work because you get a loan from them, then you ought to be happy when they cut your husband's pay or whoever cuts his pay.
Well, the government doesn't pay my husband's pay.
Well, they should.
That's where you're wrong.
That's where you're wrong.
I'm not wrong.
I'm not wrong.
I am not wrong.
That's what's so frustrating about this.
I am not wrong.
These people, they just won't listen to me, certainly.
They just will not listen to me on top of everything else.
Ed Call, that last call, folks, that's one for the ages.
I don't know if you caught it because it was going by so fast.
He said, the next thing we're going to talk about, I said, no, we're not talking about, oh, yes, we are, she said.
We're not even married.
Very, very instructive.
All right, CNNMoney.com, jobless claims, dense recovery hopes.
Initial claims jump $11,000 to $531,000, much more than expected.
How is this unexpected?
