Time Text
Hey, really.
Really?
Is that what he wants to say?
Ah, greetings and welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Rush Limbaugh, and this is the EIB Network.
The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies a thrill and a delight as always to have you with us.
Phone number if you want to be on the program is 800 28282.
The email address L Rushbow at EIBNet.com.
I have to tell you, the uh the program that I prepped today, all last night and into this morning, I haven't gotten to.
Uh because of this piece, the American, and it's it was a great show I had planned.
I mean, there is tons of good stuff.
I I'm going to save it all for use later in the week, and I'll get to some of it today.
I just have a couple more things from the uh American Spectator piece that I want to highlight.
But it is um uh audio sound bites, uh Obama health care, all this.
I mean, just it's a show begging to be done.
Who went nuts today?
I know we went nuts.
But we're I know, and we're gonna talk about that.
But it and we got sound bites of Obama going nuts.
But um that'll it'll all come.
I mean, this show is begging to be done.
I mean, during the break, the stack of stuff is Are you gonna get to me?
Who is this American spectator guy?
You worked on me all night and all day today.
Get to me.
So I had to tell a stack of stuff, I'll get to you.
It may take all week to do it.
There that there's a story here, folks, that just intrigues me, and it intrigues me as much from a journalism standpoint as it does for its content.
It is from a Las Vegas television station.
Well, at least one of the stories is uh KTNV.
I don't sh I'm not sure where this other one is from.
Maybe the same thing.
Let me just read this to you.
A pilot's wife, a pilot's wife, who said she found out her husband was in Las Vegas only after news hit that his plane was involved in an accident where a propeller hit his 21-year-old woman's head Thursday afternoon, said she is convinced her husband is having an affair.
It's a rendezvous gone wrong.
All right, now that's that's the opening paragraph.
Now what strikes me here is it's not just an ordinary common thing for a propeller to hit somebody's head.
When a propeller hits somebody's head, I mean it doesn't happen very much, and when it does happen, that person no longer has a head.
But this is written as though, oh yeah, uh woman found out her husband's having an affair because his airplane's propeller hit her head.
Okay, so that's the first paragraph.
Nothing more is said about that.
Her husband told her he was going out of town for a business trip, but not to Las Vegas, she said.
Carolyn Connolly said on Friday that she's found out that the woman who was hit by the propeller works at the private airstrip where the plane's based.
The woman who was hit on the head was rushed to University Medical Center with bleeding from the head, but is now listed in fair condition.
As of Friday afternoon, Carolyn Connolly, uh the wife, said she and their three sons still hadn't heard from the husband.
And a philanderer, Donald Connolly.
But the Beechcraft Bonanza has returned home to El Cajon near San Diego, presumably by its owner and pilot, Donald Connolly.
Several calls by Fox 5 Eyeball News to Donald Connolly's cell phone were not returned.
I guess everybody has this guy's cell phone number.
The Las Vegas TV station just happens to have his cell phone number, and they tried to call him.
What about this uh business?
The uh your propeller hit your girlfriend's head.
Aviation attorney Kevin Healy said Donald Connolly could be facing more than personal issues at home.
Normally the pilot is responsible for all aspects of the flight, including running it on the ground.
It's still not known what the woman was doing when she was hit on the head.
Whether she was supposed to be there or not, propellers don't discriminate and they can be quite lethal.
Well, finally.
Perhaps the plane's nose rose, uh a plane's uh nose.
Wait a second now.
This doesn't make sense.
Perhaps the plane's nose number is a root of the pilot's stroke of bad luck.
The number's the same as the one used by Cessna 310 that crashed and uh this is this is screwy.
So that's that's once there's a follow-up.
Again from Las Vegas uh eyeball 5 news.
A 21-year-old woman was hurt after being hit by a plane's propeller.
Now, notice if this had been an SUV, it would have been the SUV.
Not the SUV's bumper.
But in the SUV, not the plane's propeller.
It happened at McCarron International Airport around 4.30 in the afternoon.
The beachcraft was heading back to San Diego when it happened.
The pilot says the woman was going to move a piece of equipment when she forgot the propeller was there.
Medics rushed her to UMC where she underwent surgery Thursday night for head.
We still don't know whether the propeller was turning.
Maybe she was removing the wheel chalk.
And she lifted up and cut herself on the they don't tell us this.
When I hear that somebody's head's hit by a propeller, I'm thinking, wow, this is not good.
Because people do not get in the way of those things.
Now what happened in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas, but everybody now knows about this.
In fact, everybody's got this poor guy's cell phone number.
And he's not, he's not returning calls.
The pilot, the guy, says the woman was going to remove a piece of equipment when she forgot the propeller was.
How do you forget the propellers on an airplane?
Medics rushed her to UMC where she underwent surgery Thursday night for head injuries.
Expected to be.
Okay, stay with eyeball 5 action news for updates.
Well, we're eagerly awaiting.
Updates, and we want to know, was the propeller turning?
Was this guy trying to get away?
Was the woman chasing him?
Well, I mean, of course, the guy's wife now says, aha, he's having an affair.
He wasn't supposed to be in Vegas.
Might be lipstick on the propeller, but we'll never know now because you get that propeller up at RPM at altitude.
Who knows?
Well, it'll stay off of it.
From the New York Times blog, John Harwood.
And this kind of goes along with the um the whole subject today of ruling class.
The blog is called a caucus.
Mystery for White House.
Where did the jobs go?
This is a serious story, folks.
It is a serious story.
They're wondering where did the jobs go?
Welcome as it is, progress finally toward finally capping the Gulf oil leak has not resolved the biggest conundrum facing Obama.
That conundrum is this.
Why is unemployment so high?
The Who Dunit has flummoxed economists in both parties for a year.
It has in both parties.
The Who Dunit has flummoxed economists in the ruling class for a year in 2009 as the new Obama administration grappled with the financial crisis.
Joblessness rose nearly two points beyond customary recession forecasts.
Mistakes are enormous, said Alan Blinder, Princeton economist who advised President Clinton, because the answers are going to dictate the pace at which jobs come back.
I'm not making this up.
They don't know where the jobs went.
The ruling class, the best and the brightest.
They're having seminars.
Where the hell did the jobs go?
We did our stimulus.
We did two stimuluses.
We did the porculus.
We've had unemployment benefits.
We've had everything.
We did tarp.
Where are the damn freaking jobs?
They're asking themselves.
With 8 million jobs lost since the recession began, we're climbing out of a gigantic hole, so David Axelrod, until we fill a hole, we'll get limited credit.
In January 2009, Obama's economic advisors predicted unemployment would peak around 8%.
If Congress passed all the stimulus stuff.
As Republicans never tire of pointing out now, the rate hit 10.1% by October has fallen less than one percentage point since.
Glenn Hubbard, the dean of the Columbia Bidness School and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under Bush.
I don't blame the administration for being off in these forecasts.
He called a rise of unemployment a mystery.
The ruling class.
I mean, I I read a lot of mysteries.
I really do.
And this one's not hard to figure out.
You could figure this one out by page two.
But these people all have Ivy League degrees, and they don't know where the jobs went.
And they don't know what, and yet they don't know where the jobs went, and yet they had the perfect formula for creating the new jobs.
And their formula hasn't created the new jobs.
These are the ruling class people.
And they're actually talking to themselves.
Where are the jobs?
When any of us in the country class could tell them, you have destroyed them.
You have destroyed where the jobs are created.
It's called a private sector.
It's called small businesses.
It's called automobile dealerships.
It's caused any number of things that you have attacked and destroyed.
There aren't any jobs because you have destroyed the mechanism for their creation.
And your tax policy is making it so that people who would create jobs by expanding their businesses won't take the risk because they don't know what pain and suffering you have in store for them when next year hits.
But they have an idea.
Meanwhile, the best and brightest in the ruling class.
Mystery.
Where did the jobs go?
So now the ruling class has to admit there aren't any jobs.
There hasn't been any job recovery.
John Harwood, featured member ruling class media, getting the message out.
Damn it, we're trying, America.
We're trying here.
We can't find the damn things.
We've been looking for a year and a half.
We spent over a trillion dollars, and we can't find the jobs.
They've just vanished.
Maybe they're in India.
Maybe they've gone to China.
We don't know.
We're gonna try to get them back.
But damn it, we can't find them.
Where are the jobs?
We've done the magic.
We've done everything Cain's told us to do.
We've done everything they've told us to do in our economic schools at Harvard and Yale and Princeton.
We've done everything.
And the only jobs looking good are ours.
But where are the rest of them?
They can't find the jobs.
The dirty little secret is that the ruling class probably doesn't know anybody that doesn't have a job.
Remember Pauline Cale, a theater critic in New York after Nixon won in 72, said, How did this happen?
I don't know anybody who voted for Nixon.
Well, the ruling class, I'm sure doesn't even know anybody who doesn't have a job.
I'm sure the ruling class doesn't know anybody who can't get a job.
So they're wondering why what do you mean there aren't any jobs?
Where do they go?
Everybody I know has one.
I mean, they're they have a lobby job, or they're a bureaucrat job, or they work at FEMA, or they uh or they work at Treasury, or they work at the White House or the Rsar, uh, or everybody I know has a job.
I mean, I mean media people, sometimes newspaper people on the sticks don't, but we don't care about them, but everybody I know has a job.
I'll tell you, Mr. Harwood.
Let me give you a place to look.
Try this.
You you and your your your guys in a ruling class, the jobs are hiding right alongside man-made global warming.
If you find that, you'll find the jobs.
Let's see, where are the jobs?
Well, let's see, miners can't mine, drillers can't drill, the foresters can't cut down the trees.
Uh I mean, we'll never gonna figure this out.
Here's the the funny thing about this, and it's it's actually not not funny.
This is why the Democrat Party is in trouble, and a Lib Media are dying, they're talking to themselves, and they're writing to themselves.
This whole John Harwood blog post of the New York Times.
It's would you would you write something like that in a newspaper ostensibly read by the unemployed?
Where are the jobs?
Yeah, we're talking to ourselves, we're looking at them, we're trying to find a job.
No!
Harwood's writing for Obama, for Geithner, for the rest of the media.
God, we are looking for them.
Where are the jobs?
We want you to know.
We're looking for them.
The stimulus, it has to have worked somewhere.
We gotta find the jobs.
It's a whodunit finder.
Er cool Poirot.
Thank you.
*crickets*
Actually, uh, ladies and gentlemen, I I don't know why there's all this hubbub about jobs anyway.
Didn't Nancy Pelosi say that unemployment compensation benefits are the best job creators out there?
So wouldn't jobs just get in the way?
I mean, if unemployment benefits are the quickest way to stimulate the economy, then why the hell are we worried about jobs?
Nancy Pelosi's a member of the ruling class.
You know, these people have done so much damage, it is gonna be it's gonna be very hard to reverse it.
And and and from the hill.
President's ally, expectations were set too high for Obama's two thousand eight election.
Uh that would be Claire McCaskill.
Democrat Missouri, in an interview with the Hill blamed unrealistic expectations for Obama's dismal poll numbers, which have Democrats worried about a defeat in November.
That's right.
Uh she's she's spinning that the bar was set too high for Obama.
Now wait a second.
Wait a second.
Who set the bar right?
But wait a second.
I thought last week we had stories about how damn much everybody's done.
They're just not getting the credit for it, Claire.
But look, they got health care, and they've got they've got uh they've got uh uh uh financial regulatory reform, they can stimulate the well look at a year and a half, they've practically destroyed the private sector, and they're getting but they're just not getting any credit for it.
Now the bar was set too high.
Uh the thing is, Claire, Obama's done a lot, and that's why the numbers are down.
His poll numbers are low, because people do not like what you all have done.
The country class does not like what you in the ruling class have done and are doing.
Minneapolis is next.
This is John.
Greetings and welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, how you doing, Russ?
Fine, sir.
You know, I I I want to kind of make a comment here.
You know, I'm I'm kind of getting tired of the fake callers calling in here about uh some of the topics that you're talking about.
You know, you're you're talking about taxes.
Now, here's the problem that I have.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a second now.
We gotta define terms here.
Fake fake callers.
What do you mean fake callers?
Well well, what I mean by fake callers is this.
Anybody, if you if you really sit down and you use your psychological imagination, you can see what what's going on and what's happening here in this in this economy while people are complaining about higher taxes.
Well, if if everyone was paying their fair share of taxes, Rush, there would be no need to raise taxes.
What is that?
What is that fair share, John?
Well, well, a a fair a fair share is is paying what uh is excluding and getting rid of all these loopholes, paying what's what you're supposed to pay in taxes.
There aren't any loopholes.
Well, there are there's a lot of corporations that that have a lot of loopholes in the law.
There's a lot of loopholes that allow these guys to corporations have never paid taxes in the U.S., by the way, the U.S. corporate tax rate's the second highest in the world.
Uh it's a Well, I know facts are gonna get in the way here at your call, uh, but the facts are not fake.
Well, well, here's here's the thing, Russ.
There's some there's I I heard the other day, this is a while back.
There was a company called Excel Energy Center, XL Energy Center, owed the state of Minnesota 30 million dollars.
Now the state of Minnesota turned around and said, forget about it.
Now here's my problem.
Well, see, if if you know that there's a lot of companies and corporations that are.
Why would you sit here and say, I don't, I don't I don't know about it.
I don't know about any of that, but I'd say I'd ask you who's running Minnesota and who's forgiving the taxes owned by this mysterious corporation.
Well, you know, and see here's here's another part of my head.
Well, I'll give you a hint, it's not Republicans.
You got a Republican governor, temporal at the handle of this one.
You know, but here's another problem that you that you have here, Russ.
You but by by these companies not paying their fair taxes, well, that cost has been offset to someone else.
And that's that that's the the average bill to go to work every day just to try to feed his family.
He can't feed his family because he's paying too much in taxes while other people are sitting here getting away not paying taxes at all.
This is not for this country, Russ.
Wait a second.
Uh let me ask you a question.
Yes sir.
I mean we're going to get to the the the the nub of this are you paying your fair share in taxes.
Yes sir I'm I'm I'm I'm paying my fair share of tax what is your well what are you paying?
What are you paying in taxes every year, John?
None of you the other guys owe taxes you know the government don't come say well we're going to garnish your wages we're going to take the thing it's always the other guys.
It's always the other guy John go ahead sir no no you you but you haven't told how much do you pay in taxes I can tell you are you in the upper five percent because the top five percent are paying almost fifty percent of all income taxes in the country.
No I don't I don't I don't I don't think I'm of that that much but I I don't but I'm paying my paying your fair share but I'm I'm I'm basic I'm basically bringing home not paying your fair share I tell I'm paying my fair share of I'm probably paying your share and I'm paying your family share and I'm I'm probably paying a share of that Minnesota corporation of Democrats forgave I'm probably paying a whole lot of people share taxes.
I I doubt you're calling me and say I'm not paying my fair share you thought you th you talk about the job what the job by the way what's fair John what could you define fair for me Russ Russ the government aren't the ones who create job it's the private sector.
So you you can talk all day long and you can blame Obama but at the end of the day let me ask you a question.
John are you getting your fair hiring you know why they're not doing it because I got 15 seconds are you American free trade agreement of Mexico.
I don't want to go to Mexico Steve Laborics understood the game in the farm of it.
John are you followed by all day.
Are you getting your fair share of benefits?
Here's the problem here's another problem in the system we can't get an answer from the guy we tried folks you heard of me we tried we're back rush Limbaugh happy to have you with us here on the uh unpredictable Rush limbaugh program occasionally featuring the rambling buffoon caller now and then you never know when you're gonna get 'em we always love it when it happens.
Bill in uh in Arlington, Texas, welcome to the program, sir.
Mega Ditto's Rush.
Just another fake caller calling in.
I uh I I think this this has been a brilliant show today bringing up this piece.
I I'm I'm so pleased to see it.
Thank you.
I have I have been a Republican Party activist all my adult life.
I've been doing this for 40 years now.
And I'm also a Tea Party activist.
Obviously for those of us who are Republicans we have been so pleased to see the rise of the Tea Parties because the people that are coming in are really no different than us.
Now you know what I need to point out is there's a real difference between the grassroots of the party who are Goldwater I Dragonites by and large and the elected party the the people in office.
And and this is where uh the this piece today um i it it hints on this it talks about how the country party you know achieves political power well i it for the time being he's pointing out it has to be through the Republican Party.
I think that can be done in the wrong long run uh but the key is is this um the uh the country party has to understand how to take over the Republican Party and it's very possible but it's made more difficult because of a whole series of laws that have restricted access to the ballot and access to the parties over the years.
But there have been an interesting series of Supreme Court decisions going back to a decision in 1952 called Ray v.
Blair that has established the constitutional rights of association that a political party has to decide who it wants to associate with.
That's not only who its members are, but who its candidates on the ballot will be.
Now, this is a state-by-state thing, but in the long run, if people...
begin to understand how they can take over their state parties and start to control who their nominees for office are then you can achieve the revolution through the party the other option as the author has pointed out is form a new party but that has is much more difficult today than it was a hundred years ago.
Yeah well that is that that's that that even thinkable I mean that that that just guarantees the ruling class uh will have power in perpetuity look um I I want to since you brought it up, let me go to that section of the piece on what to do now.
You know, what what can us we, the country party do.
I'll give you I'll give you another great illustration of the ruling party, the ruling class.
You can look at the election contest between John McCain and J.D. Hayworth for the Republican Senate nomination in Arizona.
During the campaign for president in 2008, McCain could not tell us enough how we had nothing to fear from an Obama administration.
He would he would always tell us, my friends, you have nothing to fear.
Nothing whatsoever to fear from an Obama administration.
However, he would never say that about Hayworth.
About Hayworth, he will tell Arizona and you have everything to fear about J.D. Hayworth, a fellow Republican.
But he would never ever tell people in a presidential campaign that they had anything to fear from an Obama administration.
Now there's the ruling class in action.
Now, McCain, for all I know, might have thought that the Obama administration would be a disaster, but he would never say so.
That would that would that would exempt him from membership in the ruling class.
And he had worked very hard to gain that membership.
He had gone on a lot of television shows and ripped into his own party.
He'd worked very hard.
The media, it was said was his base at one time.
Now we warned Mr. McCain, once the ruling class has its own candidate, you are not going to have the media in your in your camp.
And it turned out to be the case.
Now here's here's Mr. Codvilla in the American Spectator Piece, America's ruling class, and the perils of revolution.
Certainly, the country class, us, lacks its own political vehicle, and perhaps the coherence to establish one.
In the short term, at least, the country class has no alternative but to channel its political efforts through the Republican Party, which is eager for its support, but the Republican Party does not live to represent us.
For it to do so, the Republican Party would have to become principles-based.
It's not been that since the mid-1860s.
The few who tried to make it so the party treated as rebels.
Barry Goldwater, Ronaldus Magnus.
The party helped defeat Goldwater when it failed to stop Reagan.
The party saddled his and subsequent Republican administrations with establishmentarians from the ruling class, who under the Bush family repudiated Reagan's principles as much as they could.
Barack Obama exaggerated in charging that Republicans had driven the country into the ditch all along, but they did have a hand in it.
Few Republican voters, never mind the larger country class, few Republican voters have confidence that the party is on their side, because in the long run, the country class will not support a party as conflicted as today's Republicans.
And those Republican politicians who really want to represent it will either reform the party in an unmistakable manner or start a new one.
But that's bad news.
Now we are taking over the Republican Party, and a lot's going to depend on the presidential nominee as well.
Our babble is as much with those in the Republican Party who defend statism as with the radicals in the Democrat Party.
It was done with Reagan, and Reagan was not 200 years ago.
This is where I disagree with Mr. Codevilla a little bit.
It can be done.
But even the ruling class undermined Reagan.
Second term managing to take advantage of various things to get ruling class members into his administration's chief of staff and other positions of influence.
Now, to defend the country class, that's us, to break down the ruling class's presumptions.
It has no choice but to imitate imitate the Democrats, at least in some ways and for a while.
Consider.
Seldom does a Democrat official or member of the ruling class speak on public affairs without reiterating the litany of his class's claim to authority, contrasting it with opponents who are either uninformed, stupid, racist, shills for business, violent, fundamentalist, or all of the above.
They do this in the hope that opponents, hearing no other characterizations of themselves, and no authoritative voice discrediting the ruling class, will be dispirited.
They call us all these names hoping to dispirit us.
They call the Republicans all these names hoping to dispirit them.
They've and it's worked.
The Republicans are not going to criticize Obama because they're scared to death of being called racist.
If you want a short answer, why don't the Republicans do X?
It's because they're afraid to death of being called racist by the ruling class.
And the ruling class media.
Or they're afraid to be called fundamentalist.
Or shills for business or what have you.
And so the intimidating tactics of disrespecting and silencing your opponents has worked, and this is what we must do, is Mr. Codvilla's point.
For the country class, seriously to contend for self-governance, the political party that represents it, will have to discredit not just such patent frauds as ethanol mandates, the pretense that taxes can control climate change, and the outrage of banning God from public life.
More important, such a serious party would have to attack the ruling class's fundamental claims to its superior intellect and morality in ways that dispirit the target and heartens one's own.
The Democrats having set the rules of modern politics.
Opponents who want electoral success are obliged to follow them.
And this we have said over and over again.
There is going to be an apparatus in place thanks to these people to use the power of government against them when we get it back.
The question is, will the people that represent us have the guts to do so.
How the country class and the ruling class might clash on each item of their contrasting agendas is beyond my scope, Mr. Codvilla writes.
Suffice is suffice it to say, though, the ruling class's greatest difficulty, aside from being outnumbered, will be to argue against the grain of reality that the revolution it continues to press upon America is sustainable because it isn't.
For its part, the country class's greatest difficulty will be to enable a revolution to take place without imposing it.
Because America has been imposed on enough.
So it must be a self-starting thing.
It can't be the result of phone calls.
It can't be the result of faxes and all this to Washington.
It has to start on its own.
It can't be, and guess what the Tea Party is?
It's exactly that.
But it can't be the result of members of Congress calling people saying, hey, come to Washington, we need to have big show strong force here to oppose this or that.
We need 20,000 bodies here.
No, no, no.
It's got to happen on its own.
It can't happen by being imposed upon.
I understand what he means by that.
Brief time out here, back with more after this.
Don't go away.
Yes, uh L. Rush boasts serving humanity.
How?
I'm here.
That's all it takes.
And the microphone being turned on by the broadcast engineer.
After that happens.
We're unstoppable here at the EIB network.
Angelo Codvilla, professor emeritus, Boston University, wrote the piece in the American Spectator, the ruling class.
It's a link to it, Rushlinbud.com if you don't know the American Spectator's web address.
We shut down their website early today when we first recommended it, but they're back up and running now.
But it is it is a it is a brilliant piece, folks, and and it's important.
Uh it's not often that I say that.
Um I was I was shopping for antiques once with uh just for the hell of it.
I mean, I no big deal.
It was in Paris.
And I noticed the technique of the salespeople.
I'm I'm looking at some supposed relic from the uh from the regime of Louis the Fauteenth, as they said.
This is an important piece.
I said, Well, it's what's important about it.
Well, it's just it's an important piece.
And I thought, well, this is a scam.
It's important.
Important to who?
Well, this P and I I've I very seldom use the word important.
This piece is important.
It's important.
It encapsulates.
And I look at I'm gonna I'm gonna admit one of the reasons I'm captivated by it is because it encapsulates things that that I have I have been saying for 20 years.
Maybe 15 years.
I was excited to read this because it lays it all out.
Now, this piece is going to be ignored.
You take a look, you notice which so-called conservative websites ignore this piece.
You take a look at which conservative blogs.
Uh media sites, ignore it.
And it will answer a lot of the questions.
It will be ignored by a lot of Republican leaders.
And those who ignore it or those who rip it to shreds will be telling you who they are or who they want to be.
I. Reagan said, I don't care who gets the credit, as long as it gets done.
The ruling class is all about getting credit even when it fails.
Getting credit for doing it right.
Ladies and gentlemen, Carbonite.com, I tuck you but backing up your files, and it's a it's an excellent way to do it.
Every time you're connected to your internet, uh your hard drive is backing up.
If you're like me, well, I'm connected 24-7, so the backup is ongoing.
It's incremental after you do your your your original backup.
One of the great things they've added to this now, in addition to backing up your files to a safe off-site location, is that you can now access those files.
You don't have to have lost your data on the hard drive.
Uh you can be away from your computer.
You can be somewhere else with access to a computer, you can access to your carbonite backup.
You want to access one of your files, you can do that now from any computer, even on your iPhone or BlackFerry or Blackberry with a free application.
Now imagine how much more productive it'll be when you can access your backed up files in the palm of your hand.
Carbonite backing up your files, getting them back, and accessing them remotely is easy.
Anyone can do it.
Unlimited backup for your PC or Mac, now with remote access, still just $55 a year.

At Carbonite.com, offer code rush, Bob in Pittsburgh.
It's great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
You know, there's a guy I used to listen to a long time ago, the name of Jeff Christie.
I don't know whether you ever met him.
Really good guy, but I really do like listening to Rush Limbaugh instead of Jeff Christmas.
Well, thank you, sir.
Very appreciated.
Jeff Christie didn't get to say very much.
Yeah, that's okay.
He played some good songs.
Yeah, but that was all he was allowed to talk about was the stupid music.
It was it was a fun time.
Thank you.
Speaking of, my favorite sign for Tea Party uh these days should say it doesn't matter what this sign says, you'll still call it racist.
Yeah, that that that that sign has shown up at every Tea Party gathering, and it is true.
And I I want a bumper sticker without on it, and I'm actually thinking about buying one.
There's a place where you can buy bumper stickers, and I'm thinking about buying one and putting it on there and giving it to a few.
You know, this also explains we had a caller that was gonna mention this, but the caller dropped off.
This also explains the hysterical reaction to Sarah Palin.
Totally explains the reaction to Sarah Palin.
She doesn't give a rat's rear end about being part of the ruling class and represents a big threat to it.
I've always told you the ruling class will tell you who they most fear.
A brief timeout as we wrap it up for today, be back to do that right after this.
Well, another exciting excursion into broadcast excellence has come to a screeching hole.
Actually, it is not come to a uh screeching halt, ladies and gentlemen.
The program never ends.
Uh it's an ongoing thing.
It is a continuum.
We just at some point each day have to take a 21-hour break.
Now, I had, like I tell you, the stack of stuff was screaming at me today.
Do me, do me!
You prepped me all night and all day.
And it's true, I had a great show prepped and ended up doing the American Spectator piece.
So we'll do uh what I had planned today because it's filled with great stuff, and whatever happens tonight and tomorrow we'll throw that in too.
Tomorrow.
