Time Text
Hi, welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the fastest three hours in media.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunday.
Sunny, South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And here's a telephone number.
Remember, when we go to the phones, the content of the program is all yours.
Whatever you want to talk about, comment on, ask me about most of it.
Fair game.
It's the only day of the week where it happens this way.
800-282-2882.
Email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
In the first hour of this program, I cited a statement from uh a blog.
Michael Michael Ladine found a the uh blog jumping in pools reporting on Obama's college thesis written when he was at Columbia.
The paper was called Aristocracy Reborn, and in the first ten pages, uh Obama wrote the following.
The Constitution allows for many things, but what is what it uh does not allow is the most revealing.
The so-called founders did not allow for economic freedom.
While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned.
While many believe the new Constitution gave them liberty, if it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.
Now I got a note from uh a researcher who has been scouring the internet, and the note says this Rush Limbaugh, mini warning on these on these quotes.
Because the paper that that uh Obama wrote, Aristocracy Reborn, uh the first ten pages were all that reporter Joe Klein uh was permitted to see.
And it says here that Klein did write about it for Time Magazine.
Our researcher has been scouring the internet and can't find any sources for the quote.
Uh the blog that Ladine cites doesn't have supporting info, supposedly.
The source post was from August, says um it's gonna be in an upcoming report from Joe Klein, but the researcher can't find anything that has come out since, and nothing in Klein's blog.
So and there haven't been any no matches found on the internet for any of the info or quotes other than uh the source posting.
So I now say that uh the uh the blog from which this came has no sourcing data other than Joe Klein upcoming report, and Joe Klein hasn't written his upcoming report, so we have to hold out the possibility that this is not accurate.
However, I have had this happen to me recently.
I have had quotes attributed to me that were made up.
And when it was pointed out to the media that the quotes were made up, they said it doesn't matter.
We know Limbaugh thinks it anyway.
Sort of like Dan Rather said, I don't care if these documents are forged.
I know that Bush did what he did at the National Guard.
I don't care if the documents are forged.
I don't care if the Limbaugh quotes are made up.
So I can say, I don't care if these quotes are made up, I know Obama thinks it.
You know why I know Obama thinks it?
Because I've heard him say it.
Not about the Constitution, but about the Supreme Court again, 2001 FM radio station interview in Chicago when he was a state senator in Illinois.
If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to best formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples, so that uh I would now have the right to vote.
I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and order, and as long as I could pay for it, I'd be okay.
But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in the society.
Now, that is he's talking about the Warren Court.
They never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth.
So we've got a supposed uh piece from his college thesis at Columbia, where he complains that the Constitution didn't talk about the distribution of wealth.
So we know that it's on his mind.
So even if he didn't say it, I know he thinks it.
That's how it works now in the uh in the media.
And I do know he thinks it because I just heard what I heard, and so did you.
Oh, we had a caller earlier today asking me about the proposal by Dingy Harry to let states opt out of the public option, and I said there's gonna be a public option, and nobody's gonna be able to opt out of it.
You're gonna be forced into it.
There's no reason to do government-run health care if there's no public option.
Nancy Pelosi on MSNBC today with uh Enriam Mitchell, I'm NBC means in Washington.
And she said, Medicare for everyone's now sort of catchphrase.
Are you gonna end up calling the public option Medicare for everyone?
No, I don't think so.
I mean, I I we will have a strong, uh, obviously a strong component from Medicare.
We strengthen Medicare, we sustain it uh for years longer, but it's in it isn't a question of what it is named, it's a question of what the bill will do.
And we'll have a public option.
It will have a public option.
It will have a public option.
No, we'll strengthen Medicare, we'll sustain it for years.
People are an absolute dangerous joke.
Uh Obama, yesterday afternoon in Washington at the White House East Room.
This is um this is about the Pazar and his uh 90% reduction in salary.
I've always believed that our system of free enterprise works best when it rewards hard work.
This is America.
We don't disparage wealth, we don't begrudge anybody for doing well.
We believe in success.
Yes, you do.
But it does offend our values when executives of big financial firms, firms that are struggling, pay themselves huge bonuses even as they continue to rely on taxpayer assistance to stay afloat.
And that's why last summer we gave Ken Feinberg and his team the task of making an independent judgment on the executive pay packages for firms that received extraordinary assistance from the federal government.
Yeah, and they needed that assistance because the federal government put them in that circumstance.
The federal government passed a bunch of laws that required these banks to make loans to people who would never have a chance to pay them back.
These are mortgage loans, house house loans, and that led to the banks trying to come, okay.
How do we insure ourselves here?
I mean, we had a uh we we've just signed out a bunch of worthless paper, the government made us do it.
So the government made them do it, and now they got a bunch of worthless paper, they come up and they write uh derivatives and other kind of uh financial products as insurance policies for what they know is bad paper, and the whole house of cards came down.
And so now the very government that forced them into that behavior via federal policy now has a PAZA that's taking 90% of their salary and bonus.
They're gonna limit.
They're gonna cut their salaries by 90%.
Then Obama went further.
Under these competing interests, I believe he's taken an important step forward today in curbing the influence of executive compensation on Wall Street while still allowing these companies to succeed and prosper.
But more work needs to be done, which is why I urge the Senate to pass legislation that will give company shareholders a voice on the pay packages awarded to their executives.
And I urge Congress to continue moving forward on financial reform that will help prevent the crisis we saw last fall from happening more again.
Work needs to be done.
They're going for non-TARP firms next, and then they're gonna come for the rest of us.
This is all a lie.
I've always believed our system of free enterprise works best when it rewards hard work.
This is America.
We don't disparage wealth.
The hell you don't.
Everything Obama is doing is oriented around and towards getting rid of wealth.
He does disparage it.
And who is he to say?
We don't begrudge anyone for doing well.
We don't beg what a thought to even have.
What a thought to have and then say to articulate.
Because it's just the opposite.
We do begrudge people doing well.
It offends our values when executives of big financial firms pay themselves huge bonuses even as they continue to rely on tax.
They were forced to.
Do you people remember?
I'll get it out and read it to you if you want.
The Wells Fargo banker let the cat out of the bag.
He said Paulson put us all in a room at three o'clock in the afternoon and forced us to take this money.
We all had to sign.
We were not allowed to leave unless we signed it.
They didn't come begging for taxpayer money.
They were forced into taking it.
Forced into taking it after being forced to invest in rotten, no good loans, forced to do things that had they been left alone, they would have never done.
And now this delusional president with a five and a half minute career comes out here and say he's gonna clean the whole mess up.
I am offended.
This offends my sensibilities.
Making independent judgment on executive pay packages for firms that received extraordinary assistance.
Hank Paulson took them into a room at three in the afternoon and forced them to all sign a piece of paper taking X amounts of dollars called TARP.
I'm gonna print it out.
I'm gonna I'm gonna print the story out during the break.
Now, before I go to the break, maybe one of the best ideas Dawn has ever had, other than well, okay, I I guess I won't.
I'll take credit for it.
If you don't want credit for the idea, I'll take credit for it.
Do you do you not do you not see here I'm trying to be a good boss?
I could have stolen this.
Like most hosts do.
I could have stolen and say, Oh, what a great idea.
And she would have been smirking at me.
Now I try to give her credit for the idea, and she's in there grimacing, oh no.
And it turns out she's grimacing because I compliment her.
One of the best ideas she's ever had.
And somehow I forgot all the other great ideas.
That's how this works.
Boy, she had one of the greatest ideas in the world, and I'm a bad guy because I don't acknowledge all the other ones.
Oh, I'm only acknowledging one.
It's like it's like the lady on the phone yesterday.
And the next thing we're gonna talk about, no, we're not gonna talk about it.
Yes, we are, she said.
A caller telling the host what's gonna happen.
And it wasn't open line Friday.
Okay, here's Don's idea.
We had eight days to prep for this.
We got eight days to spread the word.
Halloween is a Saturday night.
October 31st.
Now, I, of course, I don't do Halloween.
Uh I can't.
But you people who do Halloween, this is a great idea.
I love this idea.
We gotta do it.
You gotta do it.
I don't do it.
I don't do Halloween.
It's it's not that I'm afraid to get into that.
I just I just, folks, I can't do it.
Some four-year-old from Chicago might show up with a razor blade.
You never know.
Front door of my house.
So we're gonna call it Obama Halloween.
And here's how it works.
It's very easy.
Very, very easy.
It will require courage on your part, but it will be a great teachable moment.
You are minding your own business.
You've got your bowls of candy and whatever goodies to pass out to the little trick-or-treaters who are showing up at your door and they knock on the door, and you go to the door and they trick or cheat, tricky cheek.
They're holding out their bags, expecting you to put candy in there.
Here's what you do.
Say, hey kids.
Welcome to our home.
This is Obama Halloween.
Yay, Obama!
Obama!
Mm-mm.
Yes, it's an Obama Halloween, and here's how it works.
We're going to take some of your candy that you already have in your bag.
And we're going to take that candy and we're going to give it to needy kids who are poorer than you and less fortunate than you, and who can't even go trick-or-treating.
So you then reach into each kid's bag and take a couple pieces of candy out, or maybe a handful, and smile and thank them for being great Americans and great Obama supporters.
And these kids will Why are you doing you can't take our candy?
I most certainly am taking your candy.
It isn't your candy.
If I want it, it's mine.
This is Obama's Halloween.
This candy is going to somebody else.
Do it, folks.
Do it.
You know, back in the old days when we had condom news.
We played uh up, up and away by the fifth dimension as our condom update theme, but time is precious here.
And I'm just gonna give you the story.
This is a story out of Washington.
Participants in a D.C. public has scrubble say that their sex education is antiquated and they don't trust the school nurses.
A survey of DC public has scrubbed students.
Say they sex education is antiquated and they don't trust the school nurse.
The survey conducted by the youth sexual history project for the DC Council's health committee was reviewed at a hearing on Wednesday.
It consisted of ten focus groups, totaling about two hundred and fifty students.
Researchers say the small sample size doesn't represent the views of all 12,000 DC high schools.
Well, then why the hell report anything?
Why why report anything if the sample doesn't represent?
How do they know that?
How do they even know that?
Well, anyway.
Here's the meat of the story, if you will.
Students often pass up free condoms at school.
Because they thought the brand was more likely to break.
Students said they preferred other brands.
Well, how about some of you students rejecting the brand of American history they're teaching you and demand something else?
They thought the brand of condoms was more likely to break.
The kids, this is always when you get into sex education schools, the kids always know more than the stupid teachers do about it.
The teachers have no clue what the kids.
I love this.
I absolutely love it.
All right.
Uh let's see.
So much do.
Um you ever heard of a guy named Bob Bauer.
No, no, no.
Bob Bauer is a top lawyer for the Democrat National Committee and personal lawyer to President Obama and his chief campaign counsel.
He is emerging as a top candidate to replace Greg Craig as White House counselist, so Major Garrett on his Fox blog.
By the way, I'm surprised Major Garrett's alive.
Did you Major Garrett had swine flu last week?
And he's still alive.
I don't know if he got a vaccine or not.
I know he knows how to sneeze right because he was uh he was there when Kathleen Sibelius demonstrate how to put snot on your sleeve instead of it a Kleenex.
But uh congratulations, Major Garrett, for he's still on the right side of the grass.
Well, Bob Bauer happens to be the husband of Anita Dunn.
Yeah, Anita Dunn, uh, whose favorite philosopher is Mao Tong.
All right, Quentin in Dayton, Ohio.
Quentin, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Great to have you here.
Yeah.
Well, Rush, good to talk to you again.
And I can tell you right now exactly why healthcare and the other planes of Obama's gonna pass.
The fact is he's gonna appeal to the women.
The women are gonna turn around and beg for it.
The conservatives are gonna cave in like they always do, and ignore the fact that basically they've done everything that uh Democrats want when it comes to women.
I mean, we've got Republicans in Ohio made it so you don't have to be convicted of a sex crime to be registered as a sex offender.
They just rolled 14-year-old boys are liable for children if they're molested.
Now, wait a second, here's the thing.
I mean, this is this is Republicans doing this.
Wait a minute now.
I'm I'm I'm I'm trying to keep up here.
What is your point about Republicans and women that they're sex offenders?
Well, my point is is that Republicans are going to bow down to what the Democrats want because Democrats are going to say, do it for the women.
Just like in October when I told you, if they tried to out feminist the Democrats, they were going to lose.
Okay, so you think that the the way health care will eventually be passed is the Democrats say the women of the country want it, even if they don't.
They'll say the women and the Republicans, oh my god, so as not to lose the female vote.
We'll uh echo the Democrats and and then cave and go for health care just to get the women's vote.
Exactly.
We're already seeing.
Okay, so where did this sex offender stuff in Ohio come into this?
Didn't you know Ohio has a civil sex offender registry?
You do not have to be convicted of a crime to be registered as a sex offender in Ohio.
That was a Republican item.
Oh because of stuff like that, they've lost a lot of male voters like me.
Well, here's neither side, you're dead.
Let me let me say something.
I've I've I've I've railed against this notion that you can't win the presidency without the female vote.
Reagan had a 12% margin plus margin with women voters when he won his two landslides.
Conservatism will attract women.
Conservatism will attract everybody.
Conservatism is America.
Conservatives don't look at this block or that block.
This is, you know, one of the reasons party politics has gotten so bogged down and go, you gotta he's right in a sense, you gotta get this group, and then you gotta get that group, but you can't offend the previous group you just got by going after the new group.
And then those two groups, you got those groups, then you gotta go after another group which requires you to support amnesty-free illegals, but then you've got to say, no, we especially love illegal women because we don't want to have anybody in a minority and you lose your identity, who you are.
So if you have a message and you stick to the message, it's been shown and demonstrated throughout American history that the message reverberates with people.
This group politics stuff, that's what Democrats do.
Anyway, I got to take a break here, folks, uh, because I just noticed it.
Well, that was close.
I know.
Okay, a couple things here.
Don, I hate to break it to you, but your idea on Halloween's not original.
I've just been told.
Well, I'll fix it here in just a second.
I'm also told that the uh the blog containing the passage on Obama's thesis is a satire blog.
And so it's uh it's one of these like the scrapple face uh or the onion or some such thing.
So I shout from the mountaintops, it was satire, but we know he thinks it.
Good comedy to be comedy must contain an element of truth, and we know how he feels about distribution of wealth.
He's mad at the courts for not going far enough on it, so we stand by the fabricated quote because we know Obama thinks it anyway.
That's how it works in the media today.
I'm also uh told, and I have the evidence here, that Michelle Malkin on her website last year in uh 2008 had a cartoon called Happy Obama Ween, and it is a guy at a front door taking kids' candy from their bags.
So I now don't but still the idea was original to her because she had not seen the cartoon on the Michelle Malkin website.
But this program does not steal.
When we know that something's out there in the public domain, and it w and when we find out if we've used it, we credit it.
We don't find out, we don't, because we can't.
But the minute we find out we do.
Here's the story from October 15, 2008, Wall Street Journal.
A moment of truth, U.S. forced big bankers to blink.
On one side of the table sat Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, flanked by Ben Bernanke and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp chairman, Sheila Blair.
On the other side sat the nation's top bank execs who had flown in from around the country, lined up an alphabetical order by bank with Bank of America corporate one into the table, the Wells Fargo at the other.
It was Monday afternoon, three o'clock, treasury headquarters.
Messrs Paulson and Bernanke had called one of the most important gatherings of bankers in American history.
For an hour, the nine executives drank coffee and water and listened to the two men paint a dire portrait of the U.S. economy and the unfolding financial crisis.
As the meeting neared a close, each banker was handed a term sheet detailing how the government would take stakes valued at a combined 125 billion dollars In their banks and impose new restrictions on executive pay and dividend policies.
The participants among the nation's best deal makers were in a peculiar position.
They weren't allowed to negotiate.
Mr. Paulson requested that each of them sign.
It was for their own good and the good of the country, he said, according to a person in the room during the discussion.
The most animated response came from Wells Fargo Chairman Richard Kovasevich.
Say people who were there.
Why was this necessary?
He asked.
Why did the government need to buy stakes in these banks?
Morgan Stanley chief executive, John Mack, whose company was among the most vulnerable, quickly signed.
Bank of America's Kenneth Lewis acknowledged the obvious that everybody at the table would participate.
Any one of us who doesn't have a healthy fear of the unknown isn't paying attention.
His account is based on interviews with participants, government officials, and banking officials.
They were forced to sign.
Wall Street Journal, October 15, 2008.
The Wall Street, or the Wall Spargo guy didn't need the money.
His bank was not in trouble.
He didn't want it.
They were all forced to take 125 billion dollars, undergo new regulatory rules, and executive compensation pay.
Rules.
So that's the Wall Street Journal.
It's October of 2008.
I think that's the business.
Well, they did the condom stuff.
Oh, audio sum by 33.
The Pazar.
This was uh this afternoon at George Washington University Law School, the special master for compensation, aka the Pazar, Ken Feinberg, said this.
In the next 60 days, I must um uh accomplish the next objective.
Designing compensation structures for these seven companies for corporate officials numbers twenty six through a hundred.
Whoa.
Did I hear that right?
The next 60 days I must accomplish the next objective designing compensation structures for these seven companies for corporate officials numbers twenty-six through a hundred.
He's not done.
We're a nation of risk takers, and Obama was taking all right.
David in Indianapolis, you are up next as we go back to the phones on open line Friday.
Hi.
Hello, how are you today, Russ?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
First, I wanted to call and let you know uh I'm not probably one of your most typical listeners.
I'm a gay uh 50 year old man in Indianapolis, Indiana, but I do agree with you 99.2% of the time.
Well, 99.2, and since I'm almost always right, 99.3, you're close.
Well, I'm working on it.
Uh the double standard that the Democrats have with the Republicans.
I don't like a bully.
And for the first time in my life, I voted Republican.
I would probably not vote with Democrat again, unless it just dramatically changes and the Republicans don't stand up for what they should be.
I think things have gotten completely out of hand.
I don't believe in fascism, socialism, and that's what it is.
I don't care how you wrap it, and if they try to say that they're not the bullies, they prove it over and over and over again.
At the elections, they had them uh uh black power guides in front of the booth.
You know, if you would have had collect trans people in front of those booths, there would have been a total riot.
Uh everybody would have been all over the top.
Uh, it's exactly right.
I mean, it's just it's over and over again.
If they show uh that a white person didn't do it, then well, they just kind of blew that underneath the bridge.
But they show a black person really didn't do something, then well, that's national news.
I think what people's getting tired of is the double standard.
My generation, especially the gay man, fought for the rights of equal rights.
That's equal across the board.
That's not redis uh redistribution of money.
If you work for it, you earn it.
I come from one of those five families.
I didn't get anything special.
My mom was divorced, had several children, worked and earned a down payment for her home.
Nobody give it to her.
I worked for everything that's ever been handed to me.
I didn't get grand.
I didn't get anything.
I worked my way up.
Nobody has a right to come in and tell me I don't deserve it.
Well, that's you know, that's exactly right.
The frightening thing, David, the frightening thing.
You're you're your Democrat.
The frightening thing is how many people do think the opposite?
How many people do think they are entitled to what somebody else has if they have just a dollar more?
And the Democrats have done a great job exploiting all this class envy over the years, but I'm proud of you.
I don't know what it was that uh was a tipping point for you, but I'm glad that it happened.
I appreciate the call.
Thanks very much.
Hey, folks, um, have have you done it?
Have have you gone out and found a select comfort store and tried a sleep number bed?
Have you taken the sleep number challenge?
It's easy to do.
You visit a select comfort sleep number store today and find your sleep number.
It's the the sleep number is the firmness or the softness, and the range is from zero to a hundred.
And both sides of the bed have independent controls.
And depending on how high tech you want to go, it's wireless remote.
You lay there in the bed, you hit the up or down button, the pressure goes up, firmness goes up or it goes down, or whatever, and that's how you find out what's best for you.
I had an email yesterday from a guy who finally, after years and years and years, got rid of back pain without any medicine, using a select comfort bed, sleep number bed.
And now this week, they're introducing the sleep number classic series special edition bed.
Huge savings, $500 off, available for a limited time, and only while supplies last.
Find the nearest.
They got 400 of them, 400 stores nationwide.
You can find the one closest to you at 1800.
Get a bed.
What are you laughing at, Brian?
Something about beds make what didn't have enough energy for what?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've I I opened a commercial here with energy, uh, upbeat, and I thought it was very positive.
I yeah, yeah.
I am upbeat.
I'm excited.
I'm feeling good today.
Really, I slept on my sleep number bed later.
By the way, I want to thank Mike Pence.
Republican congressman from Indiana.
Yesterday, the pol uh well, the politico this week ran a two-day series on what horrible shape the Republican Party is in.
And uh the second installment claimed that uh serious Republican leaders are very, very, very upset being defined by commentators on talk radio, such as by me.
Politico said over 20 of them.
Twenty Republican leaders have figured out what do we do?
What do we do?
I mean, it's horrible.
What Limbaugh and these guys are saying is it's really hemming us in here.
And uh Mike Pence, the chairman of House Republican conference, says that's hogwash.
That GOP leaders are worried about what Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity Tea Party movement are doing to their party's image.
He said, you know, the American people cherish their freedom of speech in a free and independent press.
That's why I found this morning's headline so troubling, goaded on by a White House increasingly intolerant of criticism.
Lately, the national media's taken aim at conservative commentators.
It's hogwash.
Also, the New York Times has finally found out what is behind the war between the White House and Fox.
And it turns out it's the New York Times.
Behind the war between White House and Fox.
Story by Jim Rutenberg.
It talks about a secret meeting between Axelrod and Ailes.
I knew about this secret meeting.
It took place at the Palm Steakhouse in New York, During the United Nations week, before the Palm Steakhouse opened up.
Ailes asked For it because he didn't like what the White House was doing.
You like the tension that was brewing between the White House and Fox News Channel.
By the following weekend, writes Jim Rutenburg, officials at the White House had decided that if anything, it was time to take the relationship to an even more unc a confrontational level.
The reason?
Executives at other news organizations, including the New York Times, had publicly said that their newsrooms had not been fast enough in following stories that Fox News, to the administration's chagrin, had been heavily covering through the summer and early fall, namely past statements and affiliations of the White House advisor Van Jones, that ultimately led to his resignation and questions surrounding the activist group Acorn.
So the White House attack came after state-run media's flagship, the New York Times admitted to Obama favoring malpractice by burying the acorn and Van Jones and all of his wacko friend stories.
The state controlled media could no longer ignore it.
And when that happened is when that's when the White House blew up.
And that's not news.
That's when the White House blew up and started going after Fox.
So it is exactly as theorized here.
The whole reason for approaching Fox is because they have the audacity to expose who Obama really is by virtue of these close associate pals of his.
Because he is Van Jones.
He is a coin.
He is Anita Dunn.
Steve in uh in Bell Plain, Minnesota.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Russ, how are you?
I'm I'm fine and dandy, sir.
Hey, I want to say thank you on behalf of uh all free-minded profit-seeking people around the world here.
Hey, I think my Minnesota Vikings are gonna trounce on your uh stillers this weekend.
Well, let's see, the the uh the Vikings are at Pittsburgh.
It's a one o'clock game.
Uh it's on grass.
Uh Vikings don't play a whole lot of games on grass.
They don't play a whole lot of they uh they don't play a lot of games outdoors.
Uh yeah, but Adrian Peterson, he runs like a wild man on craft.
And I think Jared Allen's really gonna get after Big Ben.
I don't think that clock in London's gonna be the only big Ben with its bell ringing.
That's just my prediction, Russ.
Well, I mean, everybody's entitled their prediction.
But uh still a free country.
Yes.
So far, yep.
Somewhat.
Um, it it is one of the best games on the uh on the slate this weekend.
All right.
Hey, we love you, Reps.
Keep it up.
Thank you, Steve, very much.
You know, I was, in fact, uh, I thought that I, Brian, you'll be interested in this.
I thought this particular game, I don't want to see what all of the so-called experts have to say about it.
I went to the Heritage Foundation to see if they had written anything about it.
And I unfortunately, the Heritage Foundation has not written about the Steelers and Vikings this weekend, but the Heritage Foundation is writing about everything else, and they are collecting it all.
All of the scholarly work that's done there is posted at a site.
