Really?
Really?
Is that what he wants to say?
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, I have you with us.
Phone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.
The email address, lrushbaugh at EIBNet.com.
I have to tell you, the program that I prepped today, all last night and into this morning, I haven't gotten to.
Because of this piece, and it was a great show I had planned.
I mean, there is tons of good stuff.
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 American Spectator piece that I want to highlight.
But it is audio soundbites, Obama healthcare, all this.
I mean, this is a show begging to be done.
Who went nuts today?
I know.
He went nuts.
But I know, and we're going to talk about that.
And we got sound bites of Obama going nuts.
But 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 going to 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'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 KTNV.
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 going 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, a 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, 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.
Las Vegas TV station just happens to have his cell phone number and they tried to call him.
What about this business?
The 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, a plane's 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 is the same as the one used by Cessna 310 that crashed.
This is screwy.
So yeah, that's once there's a follow-up.
Again, from Las Vegas 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 McCarran 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 heads 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 returning calls.
The pilot, the guy, says the woman was going to remove a piece of equipment when she forgot the propeller was there.
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 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 whodunit has flummoxed economists in both parties for a year.
It has in both parties.
The whodunit 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.
The stakes 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.
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, said David Axel.
Rod, 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 Business School and chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under Bush, I don't blame the administration for being off on these forecasts.
He called the rise in unemployment a mystery.
The ruling class.
I mean, 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 job.
They've just vanished.
Maybe they're in India.
Maybe they've gone to China.
We don't know.
We're going to 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 Keynes 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 Kahle, 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, what do you mean there aren't any jobs?
Where do they go?
Everybody I know has one.
I mean, they have a lobby job or they're a bureaucrat job or they work at FEMA or they work at Treasury or they work at the White House or they're a czar or everybody I know has a job.
I mean, media people, something like newspaper people in the sticks don't, but we don't care about them.
But everybody I know has a job.
Mr. Harwood, let me give you a place to look.
Try this.
You and your guys in the 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 me see.
Miners can't mine.
Drillers can't drill.
The foresters can't cut down the trees.
I mean, we're never going to figure this out.
Here's the funny thing about this.
And it's actually 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 at the New York Times, it's...
Would you write something like that in a newspaper ostensibly read by the unemployed?
Where are the jobs?
Yeah, we're talking 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're 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've got to find the jobs.
It's a who done it finder.
Ercul Poirot.
Actually, ladies and gentlemen, 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 is a member of the ruling class.
You know, these people have done so much damage, it is going to be very hard to reverse it.
And from the Hill, president's ally, expectations were set too high for Obama's 2008 election.
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.
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 financial regulatory reform.
They can stimulate the bar.
Well, look, in a year and a half, they've practically destroyed the private sector.
But they're just not getting any credit for it.
Now, the bar was set too high.
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 are you doing, Rush?
Fine, sir.
You know, I want to kind of make a comment here.
You know, I'm kind of getting tired of the fake callers calling in here about some of the topics that you're talking about.
You know, you're talking about taxes.
Now, here's the problem that I have.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just a second.
Now, we got to define terms here.
Fake callers.
What do you mean fake callers?
Well, what I mean by fake callers is this.
Anybody, if you really sit down and you use your psychological imagination, you can see what's going on and what's happening here in this economy while people are complaining about higher taxes.
Well, 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, a fair share is paying excluding and getting rid of all these loopholes, paying what you're supposed to pay in taxes.
There aren't any loopholes.
Well, there's a lot of corporations that have a lot of loopholes in the law.
There's a lot of loopholes that allow these guys to pay.
Corporations have never paid taxes.
In the U.S., by the way, the U.S. corporate tax rate is the second highest in the world.
Well, enough facts are going to get in the way here at your call, but the facts are not fake.
Well, here's the thing, Rush.
I heard the other day, this is a while back.
There was a company called Xcel Energy Center, XL Energy Center, owed the state of Minnesota $30 million.
Now, the state of Minnesota turned around and said, forget about it.
Now, here's my problem.
See, if you know that there's a lot of companies or corporations that have been a lot of people millions of dollars.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a minute.
Why would you sit here and say if it's not a good idea?
I don't know about it.
I'm not going to pay taxes.
I don't know about any of that, but I'd ask you who's running Minnesota and who's forgiving the taxes owned by this mysterious corporation.
Well, you know, here's another problem I have.
I'll give you a hint.
It's not Republicans.
You got a Republican governor, temporaries at the handle of this one.
But here's another problem that you have here, Rush.
By these companies not paying their fair taxes, well, that cost has been offset into someone else.
And that's the average bill that goes to work every day just to try to feed his family.
He can't see 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 nonsense in this country, Rush.
Wait a second.
Let me ask you a question.
Yes, sir.
We got to get to the nub of this.
Are you paying your fair share in taxes?
Yes, sir.
I'm paying my fair share of taxes.
What are you paying?
How much is it?
Here's the problem.
What are you paying in taxes every year, John?
None of these other guys owe taxes.
You know, the government don't come and say, well, we're going to garnish your wages.
We're going to take a look at the business.
It's always the other guys.
It's always the other guys.
I'm sorry.
John, go ahead, sir.
No, no.
You haven't told me.
How much do you pay in taxes?
I can tell you, are you in the upper 5%?
Because the top 5% are paying almost 50% of all income taxes in the country.
No, I don't think I'm up that much.
I'm paying my fair share.
But you're not paying your fair share, bud.
I'm basically bringing home nothing.
You're not paying your fair share.
I'm paying my fair share.
I'm probably paying your share, and I'm paying your family's share.
I'm probably paying a share of that Minnesota corporation the Democrats forgave.
I'm probably paying a whole lot of people's share of taxes.
I doubt that.
You're calling me and saying I'm not paying my fair share.
You talk about the job.
What are the jobs?
Let me tell you what it's about.
By the way, what's fair, John?
Could you define fair for me?
Rush, Russ, Rush, Russ.
The government aren't the ones who create jobs.
It's the private sector.
So 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?
John.
You know why they're not doing anything?
Because I got 15 seconds.
Are you going to go to the American Free Trade Agreement?
We're going to send millions of people to Mexico.
I don't want to go to Mexico.
Millions of Americans understood the game in politics.
John, are you getting your fair share of benefits?
Here's the problem.
Here's the military in this system.
We can't get an answer from the guy.
We tried, folks.
You heard of me.
We tried.
Hey, we're back.
Rush Limbaugh.
Happy to have you with us here on the unpredictable Rush Limbaugh program, occasionally featuring the rambling buffoon qualer now and then.
You never know when you're going to get them.
We always love it when it happens.
Bill in Arlington, Texas.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Mega Dittos, Rush.
Just another fake caller calling in.
I think this has been a brilliant show today bringing up this piece.
I'm so pleased to see it.
Thank you.
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, what I need to point out is there's a real difference between the grassroots of the party, who are gold water rights, Reaganites, by and large, and the elected party, the people in office.
And this is where this piece today hints on this.
It talks about how the country party achieves political power.
Well, for the time being, he's pointing out, it has to be through the Republican Party.
I think that can be done in the long run.
But the key is this, 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.
Yes.
But there have been an interesting series of Supreme Court decisions going back to a decision in 1952 called Ray versus 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 is much more difficult today than it was 100 years ago.
Yeah, well, that's not even thinkable.
I mean, that just guarantees the ruling class will have power in perpetuity.
Look, since you brought it up, let me go to that section of the piece on what to do now.
You know, what can us, we, the country party, do.
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 always tell us, look, 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 Arizonans 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 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 had 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 camp.
And it turned out to be the case.
Now, here's Mr. Codevilla 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, Rinaldus 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's a two-step process.
It can be done.
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 the Democrats, at least in some ways, and for a while.
Consider, the ruling class denies its opponents' legitimacy.
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.
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. Codevilla'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. Codevilla writes.
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 taxes 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 to say, hey, come to Washington.
We need to have big show stronger 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, El Rushbos 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 Codevilla, professor emeritus, Boston University, wrote the piece in the American Spectator, The Ruling Class.
It's linked to it, rushlinbug.com if you don't know the American Spectators' 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 a brilliant piece, folks, and it's important.
It's not often that I say that.
I was shopping for antiques once, Just for the hell of it.
I mean, no big deal.
It was in Paris.
And I noticed the technique of the salespeople.
I'm looking at some supposed relic from the regime of Louis XV, as they said.
This is an important piece.
I said, what's important about it?
It's just, it's an important piece.
And I thought, well, this is a scam.
It's important.
Important to who?
Well, this piece, I very seldom use the word important.
This piece is important.
It's important.
It encapsulates.
And look at, I'm going to admit, one of the reasons I'm captivated by it is because it encapsulates things that I have been saying for 20 years, or 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 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.e., members of the ruling class.
You know, the reason Reagan can never get in, 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 talked to you about backing up your files, and it's an excellent way to do it.
Every time you're connected to your internet, 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 original backup.
And 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.
You can be away from your computer.
You can be somewhere else with access to a computer.
You can access to your Carbonite backup.

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 with 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 Christie.
Thank you, sir.
Very, very appreciated.
Jeff Christie didn't get to say very much.
Oh, 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 a fun time.
Thank you.
Speaking of, my favorite sign for Tea Party these days should say it doesn't matter what this sign says, you'll still call it racist.
Yeah, that sign has shown up at every Tea Party gathering, and it is true.
And I want a bumper sticker with that 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 people.
You know, this also explains, we had a caller that was going to 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 halt.
Actually, it has not come to a screeching halt, ladies and gentlemen.
The program never ends.
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 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.
