How can it take 30 seconds to print one, two, three, five words?
What?
Oh no, it's not the high-speed internet connection.
It's my high-speed connection from the commuter to the printer.
Five words, 30 seconds.
It's Friday, live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Yes, my friends, great to have you here at L Rush Belda EIB Network.
Open line Friday.
When we go to the phones, the content of the show is all yours.
You can talk about whatever you want, whether I care about it or not.
You can ask questions, you can whatever.
That's a golden opportunity, actually.
I mean, a way I would look at it if I were you, if I were listening to me offer this opportunity, I'd say, all right, I'm gonna call up.
I'm gonna show how a show really ought to be done.
Because a lot of people think I don't talk about enough stuff enough.
Or I don't say this, or I'm being distracted when I talk about health care, I'm being distracted from Iran.
If I talk about Iran, I'm being distracted by health care.
Or from whatever.
So this is your chance to set me straight.

Boy, the markets are plunging NASDAQ.
NASDAQ is down 45.
The standard employee index down 25.
Oh, Dow Jones 215, minus 215.
We haven't we're having a round trip.
We were up 200 something yesterday, down to what do you think it is, snerdly?
What do you think it is?
I think what it is is that the wizards of Smart on Wall Street finally figured out what I knew yesterday, and that is that GDP number which drove it all up yesterday was fraudulent, fake, phony, and a lie.
And now the fake jobs created or saved?
The details on what kind of jobs.
And uh so and it it's it's consumer spending down like crazy, deficit at an all-time high, down 215 points as of right now.
Stand by.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, the Obama administration is preparing.
I've been told I have this on good authority.
In addition, next week they're going to announce uh how many uh pick-up basketball games have been saved uh as a result of the inspiration basketball players all over the country have received from seeing Obama play all his pickup games while economic calamity and uh war are going on.
Um this story from Reuters financial woes often drive couples apart, but the current recession seems to be having the opposite effect.
Less couples, fewer couples are um are going uh the divorce route.
Uh, and I think the Obama administration is preparing to announce uh don't know what the figure is going to be.
Commerce department's working on it right now.
Well, Health and Human Services, number of marriages saved uh because of the stimulus package, which is wrecking the economy.
Um what's happening here, we find out, well, look, the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers said more than half the respondents to its latest survey among its 1600 members and cited a drop in divorce filings during the current recession, which has cut jobs, salaries, and house prices.
In total, 57% of the attorneys noted fewer divorce filings since the last quarter of 2008, forced to weigh damaged marriages against tight budgets and uncertain financial outlooks.
Many spouses seem more willing to try and wait out the recessionary storm.
This is, I say, from uh from Reuters.
So the Obama administration is preparing statistics to show uh how many marriages have also been saved.
And here's here's the practical result for for women.
When you find out that your husbands have been screwing 20-year-old interns at ESPN, you're not gonna be able to divorce them.
Because the guy's not gonna have enough money to pay you what you genuinely deserve.
So you're gonna have to hang in there and be miserable, look for a job in the Obama economy, and wait till a recession ends, if it ever does, and then go the divorce route.
In the meantime, you're gonna watch your husband continue to go through phony sex rehab uh after screwing interns at uh at ESPN and wherever he's screwing interns.
Um Obama will be taking credit for this.
Um uh sometime next week, I am told.
Let's go to New York 23.
This is an interesting piece here, Chris Salizza.
Washington Post blog uh the fix.
What New York 23 means.
I love it when the state-controlled media starts examining a political race that has a dominant conservative in it.
Two things have become abundantly clear about the special election of New York's 23rd district over the next year, rights uh past week, uh writes Chris Solizza.
The first is that conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman could actually win.
Damn it.
The second is that neither major party knows what to think about the Hoffman candidacy.
Neither major party knows what to think about the Hoffman, neither major party knows what to think about ascendant conservatism.
Both political parties are trying to adjust their spin to accommodate what a victory by Hoffman would say about the national political field.
An independent poll released on Thursday showed Hoffman in a statistical dead heat with the Democrat Bill Owens, state assemblywoman, the faux Democrat, faux Republican Didi Scuzafava, lagging badly.
The survey conducted by the Daily Couse site, research 2000, fringe leftist doing the poll.
Uh, jibes with other private polls done recently, and a general sense among Democrats and Republicans that Hoffman is the momentum candidate and the race is his to lose.
In the final days.
At the root of Hoffman's strength, according to the Daily Coast poll are independents, which we have been mentioning this all week, the number of independents in Gallup and in Pew, which are moving to Republicans.
The number of independents move and they're doing so, fleeing what?
Liberalism.
The block of voters most coveted by both major parties is independence.
And the root of Hoffman's strength is independence.
While Hoffman is in a dead heat with Owens among all voters, he carries a wide 47 to 28% edge over the Democrat among self-identified independent voters.
Among those same independents, Hoffman has a 53% favorable rating and a 14% unfavorable rating, far better than the 38 to 23 number he had with the electorate as a whole in a poll.
How has Hoffman galvanized independence?
His messaging has been focused almost entirely on the idea of him as a political outsider who wants to shake up the way things are being done in Washington.
It's clearly working.
Now excuse me.
This is gotta go back.
You gotta go back to the first, the second sentence.
The second is that neither major party knows what to think about the Hoffman candidacy, and obviously neither does media.
See, these people in Washington are obsessed with the so-called centrists, the independents, the moderates.
And they appear to be breaking for Hoffman.
Who are these people?
They're conservatives who have been wandering aimlessly, they've been leaving the Republican Party because the Republican Party's abandoned them.
I've lay you dollars to doughnuts that ideologically, most of these so-called independents are conservatives.
So, yeah, Hoffman may be getting away and succeeding by portraying himself as a Washington outsider, but he is a conservative.
He is a Reagan conservative, so writes Solizza.
While Republicans will cast Hoffman, uh uh Hoffman win as a victory for them, and Democrats will tout it as a victory for their side.
Uh uh shows a deeply divided Republican Party, is what they'll say.
That not see this is that here's here's what well, but if you listen to me, uh quote Salizza on this.
See, the the beltway spin is that no matter who wins this, uh both parties are gonna spin it as a victory.
Hoffman wins.
Uh it's a victory for the Republicans because it shows an energized GOP base, the Democrats will tout Hoffman's victory as a victory for their side because it shows a deeply divided Republican party.
The truth is that a Hoffman win should send shivers up the spine of anyone who carries representative, senator, or governor before their name.
That's Silizah.
Hoffman's rise is a manifestation of a series of recent poll numbers that show Americans growing increasingly frustrated with and distrustful of the federal government.
The strong anti-incumbent sentiment may well hurt Democrats more in 2010 simply because they hold more seats.
But a Hoffman win is rightly understood not as a rejection of either party, but rather a rejection of the political system as a whole.
No, Chris.
It's not that.
It means we want conservatism.
And that the GOP does not give us that.
So we need to get control of the GOP.
That's what this means if this eventuates.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
W S Y R TV 9, eyeball news in Syracuse, the candidates for the 23rd district uh debated.
The moderator Dan Cummings says to Doug Hoffman, why are you in this race?
I'm in this race because it's principle over party.
I'm in this race because I'm giving the voters of the 23rd district an option between two liberal candidates and a conservative Ronald Reagan Republican.
Common sense conservative.
And basically, if I wasn't in this race, the voters would not have much of a choice.
Exactly right.
So while the drive-by is want to portray this guy as uh an outsider, he portrays himself as a Ronaldus Magnus conservative.
Up next um is uh is Bill Owens.
And he's the Democrat in the race.
I'm gonna do things in the best interest of this district, and I'm going to do things which are going to help to create jobs to help to uh solve the farm crisis.
I'm going to work towards maintaining and strengthening Fort Drum, and I'm want to move health care forward because I think that's in the best interest of the majority of the people of this district.
Now, here's the second Democrat in the race, disguised as a Republican Didi Scuzafova.
She's obsessed with special interest money that's been donated to Doug Hoffman.
When it all comes down to it, the most important people in this race are the voters.
And I think in the end, they won't be misled by all the money that's coming in, special interest money from outside of the area, and they'll make a decision based on who knows the issues best and who can best represent them in Washington.
Scuzza Fuzz is trailing there.
She's really uh down in the high teens or low twenties, but uh uh special interest money from outside the area.
Well, I wonder who the special Hoffman didn't have any money up until two weeks ago.
The special interest money, folks, is you.
Those of you in this audience who have been sending money to Doug Hoffman, the Republican candidate has just charged you with being special interest money.
Because she thinks that the voters will have a negative reaction to the phrase special interests.
They'll think big pharma, big oil, big law, whatever, uh lobbyists, what have you.
Let's go to New Jersey very quickly with the audio soundbite here before we have to take a break.
This is Imus on the Fox Business Channel uh yesterday morning.
He had the candidate Chris Christie, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in New Jersey, and I must said to him, How fat are you?
You know, because Corzine has been running little little ads here implying that Christie's a fat slob, sort of like what Obama has been saying about Creed Deeds.
Unkempt, Ty is a skew, doesn't always comb his hair, looks like a slob, but boy, he's a fighter.
He's a fighter.
Uh so I says, Well, how how how how fat are you, Chris?
I'm pretty fat, Todd.
Well, how tall are you?
Uh, 5'11.
And you're weigh.
550.
How did you feel, uh, Chris, when Corzon is not running on those ads, which everybody made note of the New York Times that have been that it was a new low, and what was your reaction?
My reaction was it's just silly.
You know, uh, it's beneath the office he holds.
And and the other, my other reaction was, hey, listen, if you're gonna do it, at least man up and say I'm fat.
You know, then afterwards he woofes out and says, Oh, no, no, I didn't mean that.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Man up, if you say I'm fat, I'm fat, let's go.
Let's talk about it.
Now, this race is a statistical dead heat, too.
Uh, in uh in New Jersey, it's next Tuesday.
The stimulus, as I said, has is uh reared its ugly head in New York twenty three.
Something like uh two hundred jobs saved or created despite a hundred million dollars being poured into the district.
And there's this story from uh the uh the Times Union in Albany.
Will every vote count?
New voting machines in the 23rd district are not fully certified pilot program.
Oh what do Minnesota and New York's 23rd congressional district have in common, comma, aside from their proximity to Canada and hard winters, hmm?
Two additional correct answers.
Hotly contested elections and voters choosing their candidates with paper ballots, scanned through optical counting machines.
But Tuesday's vote will also mark one of the first large-scale uses of the state's new digital devices, part of the long-awaited move from decades-old mechanical lever voting technology.
Headline, will every vote count?
I am telling you they're already setting up the accusations of cheating and fraud if Hoffman wins.
That's what this is about.
Uh and maybe in addition to that, they're setting up the fraud and deceit, the cheating so that uh what's his face Owens will win outright.
But the voting machines.
Okay, let's write a story.
And let's get the news out there.
Let's tell the voters in New York 23 the election next Tuesday is not going to be fair because the machines are full.
Let's start a panic about that right now.
That's what they're doing.
It's open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh.
By the way, Reuters, folks, is flooding us with all this great economic news, such as if your husband's out there banging the intern at ESPN, or if Letterman's banging the intern and causing problems over you're not gonna go out and get divorced because the economy is so tight, so Obama's saving marriages.
Here's the latest from Reuters.
It seems the financial crisis is not all doom and gloom.
One in four people are glad.
The world's economy slumped like it did because it helped them realize their priorities in life, according to a global survey.
Market research firm Cinnovate polled around 11,400 people across the world.
I wish I were good enough with figures to understand what percentage of 6 billion 11,400 is.
I want to know the margin of error on this worldwide poll.
Market research firm Sinovate polled around 11,400 people across the world, and they found more than half had permanently changed their attitude towards money over the past 12 months.
Well, maybe those people are made up of those who think they don't need money now because the government's going to take care of them.
Another 47%, however, said that they were looking forward to being able to spend freely again.
Well, good.
Some people still alive.
25% are glad the economy slumped.
25%.
Well, I don't either, but let me tell you something.
If you're going to say this, if you're going to put out a poll that 25% of people are happy, the economy slumped.
You've got to credit Bush because Obama and everybody are blaming him.
Here's John in Chicago.
John, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Yes, Rush.
Uh I absolutely love when you um talk about your relentless pursuit of the truth, but you really do your audience a grave disservice when you yourself of all people censor the news and refuse to talk about Philip Berg and Larry Sinclair.
Can I just give you two examples?
Who?
Philip Burgs, the birthing issues, and uh Larry Sinclair, the fellow who um uh said that uh uh Donald Young from Obama's uh gay uh uh choir teacher at uh Reverend Wright's church who was killed at December.
Can't talk about them because I've never heard of them, Jim.
Can I just give you one example?
No, you can't because you lied.
Uh you told Mr. Snerdley, the gracious And gullible, Mr. Snerdley, that you wanted to talk about 2012 and Hillary and the GOP leadership.
And you don't want to talk about that.
You want to talk about two people that I, Il Roshbo, who know more than anything that anybody else in the world have never heard of.
A nice try.
You see, by the way, how politely I did that.
He asked me if he could continue, and I said no.
Most hosts at this point would be yelling at him, insulting him, and then yelling at their call screener, which I will do in mere moments.
Snerdley's on the phone giving the guy grief.
You ought to see snurleys.
All right.
We have a brief timeout coming up.
There's interesting polling data and rural Virginia over the Creed Deeds and uh Bob McDonald race involving the minority votes.
Sit tight, we'll be right back.
And we're back, Rushlin Baugh and open line Friday.
I want to go back to uh New York 23 for just a second.
And that comment that Dee Dee Scuzafa made about uh special interest money coming in from outside the area.
To Doug Hoffman.
It just voters need to be suspicious of that money.
That money, special interest money is all you, those of you in the audience around the country who are donating to Doug Hoffman.
You see, here's what I think few people, particularly inside the Beltway, understand.
New York 23 is not about just and only New York 23.
The winner, whoever it is, will have a say about health care and climate taxes that we all pay.
And it is proof, or as Landy Davis would say, it is pff.
And we all knew all summer during the tea parties that the drive-bys were too busy to cover.
We know what's going on.
The people of this country are looking at New York 23, and they're saying it's my district.
Battleground district.
You know, Sarah Palin, way ahead of the curve on this.
You got here's some lessons from New York 23.
Hoffman, Christie in New Jersey, and McDonnell in Virginia are all the same lesson.
Reagan Republicans win.
Christie's not exactly Reagan Republican, but he's a Republican, but yeah, but but but Hoffman, Christy Virginia all teach the same lesson, that is Reagan Republicans win.
Sarah Palin is way ahead of the curve of the media and the party elites here, and Hoffman is a Republican.
He's not a third-party guy.
He is a Republican.
Had there been a primary, we wouldn't even be talking third party here.
Now the White House press briefing occurred.
The Robert Gibbs, a daily briefing, CBS News correspondent Bill Plant pressed Gibbs on this jobs report.
You're making these jobs that you say have been counted so carefully sound like a scientific number that can be uh observed scientifically.
At three o'clock, you'll be able to observe it holistically on your computer.
Each one of these so-called saved or created jobs represents a concrete new job.
Or saved job.
Yes.
Or two part done done.
Yes.
Your critics don't believe that it's possible to count anything like that.
Our critics didn't think the recovery plan would help the economy grow, but I think the critics if you put 50 cents in the newspaper machine and pull the arm, uh, you'll see that uh our critics uh haven't been so right.
What an idiot.
What an absolute idiot.
And did you note when these phony numbers are coming out?
Three o'clock.
Right, as this program ends.
Three o'clock, the phony job numbers created or saved by the stimulus.
Look about a rural Virginia.
This is from public policy polling, and remember they're a lib bunch.
They're in North Carolina.
Here is perhaps the most amazing statistic on the Virginia governor's race.
This week, last year, we found Barack Obama trailing McCain 6331 with rural whites in Virginia.
We have Cree Deeds trailing Bob McDonald 68-29 with that same group.
Obama, this that I'm reading from their blog post.
Obama, the black guy from Chicago, was running seven points better with rural whites than is Creed, the white guy from Bath County.
These numbers would seem to indicate the much maligned Deeds Country Tour in August was very necessary.
It just wasn't very effective.
That's nowhere near Deeds' worst problem.
That would be his running 33 points behind Obama in suburbia.
But it does sort of encapsulate his troubles getting off the ground.
It just goes to show last year at this time, everybody was under a spell.
A lot of people were under a spell, and uh and now they aren't.
BC in Birmingham, Alabama, great to have you on Open Line Friday.
Welcome to the program.
Look, you've been saying for months that you would tell us when to panic.
And I've just you know, I'm beginning to think we're at that point.
Uh just look, for example, they've put us into multi-generational debt.
They totally screwed our banking and financial institutions.
Wreck, two of our auto manufacturers.
They're creating this vast pool of unemployed with little hope for immediate relief, and more of it on the way.
They are indoctrinating so many kids that they're perpetuating their idiot voting base.
They're braiding our freedoms, a calculative time.
The dollar's about to become toilet paper, and that's notwithstanding the mismanagement of foreign policy and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Um got me worried is electing a few Republicans is going to look like it's going to turn this around.
I mean, we got the majority back in the 90s, and the Republicans proved they don't have the balls to play as hard as the left.
So considering that the first liberal in all of creation was Satan, why shouldn't we be panicked?
That's a line I haven't heard.
The first liberal in all of creation was Satan.
Well, because panic isn't going to get anything done.
Uh panic, panic, I understand, yeah, these are dire times.
You laid it out perfectly.
Dire, dire circumstances.
And you're electing a couple of Republicans at this point, electing a lot of Republicans would stop some of this stuff.
And it has to be stopped.
It it just, it just does.
Oh, I understand that, but you know, it it looks a lot more dire from where I am than I guess where you are, is what I'm trying to say.
Well, no, it's dire where I am.
I look at where I am is the United States of America.
And where I it's dire.
I've never seen anything like this.
It's being done on purpose.
I'll tell you the most frustrating thing to me is that there are a lot of us who knew this is exactly who this administration was, who Barack Obama was.
This we knew it.
And all of the anointed smart money on our side, no, no, no, no.
We're not on all these people, and then some of them on our side are still running around talking about the need to uh have collegiality and so forth.
They until everybody on our side, and we're not there yet.
B.C., we're not there until everybody on our side realizes that we are dealing with pure evil here in terms of the intentions to remake this country until, and it must be stopped.
It must not be negotiated with.
It must not be gotten along with.
There must not be fun of collegiality.
This it's time to stop this.
It's time to stop this movement.
You know, only an elitist would miss what's going on in this country.
Peggy Noonan has a piece today, and remember Peggy came after me as being one of those who was coursening America's politics.
I know Peggy, she just doesn't want to fight.
Peggy just wants that.
Can't we all that can we just calm down and play dates in Central Park and so forth, and there's me one happy bunch of people.
But she has a piece today in the uh Wall Street Journal, and so here's a little excerpt from it.
The biggest long-term threat Is that people are becoming and have become disheartened that this condition is reaching critical mass and it afflicts most broadly and deeply those members of the American leadership class who are not in Washington, most especially those in business.
Now, her piece today is very interesting.
I just wish that she would have written this before Obama took office because I firmly believe she has the intellect to understand, like a lot of us did, that this is exactly what was going to happen.
So here she is, nine months into this, and finally discovering where a lot of people were a year ago, because they knew this was company coming.
But there's something she is totally wrong about in this piece.
She does capture much of what's wrong in the country.
Remember, she thought Obama was a savior just a few months ago.
Because Obama's smart.
He speaks like other smart people.
He's the pedigree, one of us.
I think what Peggy totally misses is the anger, not the disheartenment.
And there is some of that, certainly, but there is anger within a majority of the people in this country.
She totally misses the ascension of conservatism that's taking place.
She misses the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce.
She misses what the polls are reporting.
We have had enough.
We are disheartened by blue blood, country club, moderate Republicans, and of course, Democrats.
Peggy is obviously depressed, and she's projected her depression onto the American people.
I don't feel depressed.
I'm ticked off.
I'm mad.
There is anger out there all over this country.
We are ready to financially support conservative candidates.
People are attending town hall meetings, tea parties, protests, and rallies.
Somebody has to do something.
And the elitist class of Washington is missing it.
And even if they do see it, they will still participate in it as spectators and comment on it.
And I'm I'm sure Peggy Noonan is depressed.
She doesn't I she know she believed in Ronald Reagan a year or two from now, maybe she'll take the next step and write an article praising the American people who refused to put up with this and tried to stop it.
A lot of people who knew exactly that this was going to happen before it did.
And when we predicted it, and when we cautioned people, we were the ones who were told, shut up, you are coarsening our politics.
You are damaging the civility.
In the meanwhile, we got a Democrat out there, Alan Grayson, who is calling a K-Street lobbyist a whore.
He says Republicans want people to die sooner, and he's gonna be, he's being praised by the media.
The Obama White House loves the guy.
He's gonna be re-elected from Orlando with ease.
And meanwhile, we run a guy like George Allen out of the party over a word that doesn't show up in the Oxford dictionary, macaca.
Nobody knows what it means.
Where was the civility and where was the non-coarsening of our politics when the Washington Post and the media led the drumbeat to get rid of a decent man, George Allen?
Meanwhile, we've got an absolutely ADD lunatic flake from Orlando, Florida, who is running around mouthing off some of the most uncivil things.
And he gets praised.
This guy gets more television time for it.
We've got it, we got a guy, Snoop Dogg, a rap sheet longer than my leg, who's just been hired to do promo commercials for the NFL pregame show on ESPN.
Yet I, El Rushbo, divisive, uncivil, coarsening American politics.
I'm thinking I'd better go out and commit some crimes and do some time, and any NFL will have me.
And maybe the Democrat Party as well.
I'll tell you another reason why these elections are important.
These are these elections next week.
These elections are the first elections since people have begun to catch on to what Obama and the Democrats are really up to.
And that's why how they turn out is so important.
And that's why New York 23 is about all of us.
New York 23 is the future of America.
And that's why money from outside the area is uh is pouring in there.
And how about how about Gibbs?
Gibbs out there telling Bill Plant, what you need to do out there, Bill is go put 50 cents in the box and pull a lever get a newspaper out of there.
Newspaper, who reads newspapers anymore?
I have here a um story about Time magazine.
Signaling the worst times are ahead for magazines.
Time Inc.
is expected to announce next week that it'll cut 100 million dollars from costs, including another big round of layoffs.
That means journalists.
Time Inc., the publisher of magazines like Time, Fortune, and People has already cut costs drastically.
A year ago it announced it was dismissing 6% of its workforce, about 600 people.
The timing is coordinated with the third quarter earnings announcement from its parent company, Time Warner.
That is scheduled for next Wednesday.
But that was apparently not enough to make up for revenue declines.
The 100 million in costs is expected to come largely from layoffs, said sources who asked to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
A number of times Time Inc.
employees covered by a union contract, which mandates severance in case of layoffs.
Times, sports illustrated, people, money, fortune, fortune, small business are covered by agreements with the newspaper guild of America.
Uh, you always find a union in these messes, don't you?
Now I just I wonder how these journalists are feeling about hope and change these days.
These journalists that work at Time Inc.
I wonder how they feel about this.
Hope and change.
I predict to you that there will be a bailout of uh newspapers.
I predict to you there will be.
Small town newspapers to start, but there will I predict to you that there will be a bailout of media at some point.
By the way, and to go back to Gibbs, saying that every job saved or produced, created, announced at 3 o'clock today will be able to be statistically documented.
From NBC's Meet the Press in June of 2009, Vice President Biden says everybody guessed wrong on the impact of the economic stimulus.
Biden says the economy was worse off than anybody thought when officials estimated a number of jobs that could be saved or created under the porculus bill.
Biden says the White House economists use standard formulas to estimate that three and a half million jobs would be saved or create.
New era of personal responsibility, too.
Remember that so they're gonna give us numbers today.
Uh we're supposed to believe somehow these guys are so much more knowledgeable then now than they were just back in June.
We just guessed wrong, he said.
Yeah.
We uh we just guessed wrong.
Joe Biden and Gauker.
Gawker is a uh it's a leftist gay gossip site.
I mean, it's got I don't believe this this little bit was posted there.
America scared to tell wife it's unemployed just sits in the park all day.
The way we live now, in secret shame, we walk around in the public acting like the recession's finally over, but look at your dirty claws at America.
Our fanciest corporations are undercover paupers, our homeless are disappearing into the void.
Sure.
It's so great to watch the U.S. economy roar to life as the media puts it in a lie.
What is really roaring, profits at Exxon, the most profitable of profit-making uh firms, enterprises ever undertaken, is down by 68%.
And Versace, they're laying off a quarter of the staff.
Where is this?
So-called recovery.
Even at Gorker, they don't buy it.
Swine flu has closed 157 schools, according to the Detroit News.
One hundred fifty-seven schools in Michigan closed.
Now, somebody needs to call Kathleen Sibelius and ask her the kids that go to these schools, are they starving?
Because they said she wasn't gonna close these schools as the children wouldn't have lunch.
