And the email address, lrushbo at eibnet.com got an email.
Dear Rush, glad you're back.
The rest of the news media needed help.
They had to make things up and go back to the past in order to make news without you here.
And to create stories out of unstories.
It's been a boring hell of a 10-day period without you.
Glad you're back.
I know how this works.
And I mean, going back to October, which they did to try to now make a story about intimidating Congressman Ice into dropping all of his investigations into the Obama regime.
Anyway, great to have you back, folks.
As I say, and we're going to get to your phone calls in this hour as promised.
Again, telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
Email address LRushbo at EIBnet.com.
January 1st of this year, California began phasing out the legal sale and purchase of 100-watt incandescent light bulbs.
Now, you watch.
There is going to be a huge black market on these light bulbs.
Just like there's a huge black market on cigarettes in New York.
In September, the European Union banned the sale of 100-watt incandescent light bulbs with people who violate the law facing up to $70,000 in fines over light bulbs.
And all of this is non-essential.
It's a scam.
This is from the Weekly Standard.
A lot of overblown talk right now about how Obama has righted his political ship since the midterm election by helping to force through an abundance of mostly liberal legislation in a lame duck session of Congress.
But a Rasmussen poll released yesterday presents a very different conclusion.
The poll shows that by a margin of three to two, likely American voters who have a strong opinion about Obama's performance strongly disapprove of his performance, the exact same ratio as on Election Day.
So all this talk about Obama having a big win during the lame duck, maybe with his base and maybe with the media, but not with anybody else.
He's at the top.
He's at 45% approval.
Even the UK Guardian, a liberal rag from across the pond, has a story about this notion that he's a comeback kid.
He didn't come back from anything.
He's continuing to lose ground.
And as usual, it's the foreign press.
That puts the proper spin on news in America.
All right.
Little checking.
I checked email during the break.
Oh, by the way, folks, if you're just joining us for the first time in a long time and you have not heard, we now have our iPhone app up and running at the App Store.
Just go to the iTunes App Store and search Rush Limbaugh and you'll find our app.
And it's great.
It's version 1.0.
And we're making note of people's suggestions.
The few complaints that we're getting basically are mindless ones.
But there are some things that we have to add to it at some point as we revise the app.
But basically, it allows you to live stream the program right to your iPod, your iPad, your iPhone.
Now, the app is iPhone right now.
You can use it on your iPad.
You simply click the 2X button and it'll fill the screen if you're watching video.
We're working on an iPad version and the Android version of all this, but we hustled to get this one out, the iPhone version.
But you have to be a subscriber at Rush 24-7.
The app's free, but you have to be a subscriber.
You can become a subscriber via the app on your iPad, your iPod, your iPhone.
But it's cool.
You get the morning update live.
Well, not live, but it's digitally taped.
Video, you get that.
Live streaming of the program.
If you missed the program, live DittoCam version of the program, archives.
It's really a fabulous app.
And for a while, it may still be.
It was the number one app, downloaded app on the news section of the iTunes App Store.
And it has been received with universal acclaim.
The feedback that we're getting on this app is as positive as anything we've done short of the show itself being on.
We're really proud of it.
And it's, as I say, it's just version one.
And there will be upgrades and updates coming.
Now, also check the email during the break.
And some, always do during break, see what people are saying and thinking.
And a lot of people say, Rush, go ahead.
I don't care if all the video is about you today.
We want to hear it.
Because a lot of people tuned out of the news while I was gone, just as I did.
I pretended to be a Democrat and Obama voter.
I was oblivious.
Folks, I did not watch one news show.
I did not turn on one news network.
Well, I mean, it was on in place.
I didn't look at it.
This was one of the first such vacations ever where I literally did nothing.
And I mean, I was where I was staying in Hawaii.
I'm 20 minutes away from Obama.
And he was there again.
He's just around the corner from where I was.
And I paid, I mean, I saw, if I were present, some pictures of Obama out there I would not want of me in flip-flops and a t-shirt and some baggy shorts.
I mean, a guy looks like a stick figure and he's sucking on a slurpee.
And that's what he said Republicans do.
It's a, what do they call it in Hawaii?
Shaved ice.
It's a snow cone.
And now they're running stories.
The guy's getting even thinner and thinner and thinner as though he's skipping meals.
Have you forgotten who his wife is?
His wife doesn't let him eat.
I think he's slurping on Slurpees.
Wife's hellbent on this guy not eating.
Now we got, we even have some Republicans talking about the brilliance of Michelle's food policy.
When is this stuff going to, when is the need to pander to these people going to end?
Why pander to Michelle Obama?
Curry favor with people?
Yeah, I know some people thought it was insensitive of me to say that the birds died because they hit the debt ceiling.
Let's find out how many birds are females.
They might have hit the glass ceiling.
You like?
All right.
All right.
We'll go to the audio sound bites.
As promised, this is now this is interesting to me because it's PMS NBC.
This is the network that routinely lambastes.
I mean, every night, multiple times.
But somehow I made their top 10 most influential Americans of the 21st century so far list.
And we have, let's say, some Christmas Eve on their MSNB special, the most influential Americans of the 21st Century So Far.
And this is a little bit of the countdown focusing on individual person number nine.
That's me.
Rush Limbaugh has been a tremendously influential figure in our national political life since the 80s.
Here's a guy who's using the quintessential old medium, radio, in order to exercise tremendous influence in an internet age.
He has 15 to 20 million listeners daily.
It does not happen if you don't have people who share your ideology.
Unfortunately, he says things that just are not true, but people eat his stuff up.
He has had not only an influence on the way people think about politics, but he's had a big influence on the Republican Party.
That was Rob Reiner, Meathead, saying, unfortunately, he says things that just aren't true.
They put all kinds of weird sound effects in there when Meathead was talking, which make him sound like a clown.
Here's Mika Bzezinski.
Number nine is Rush Limbaugh, the ultra-conservative radio personality is a hero of the right and can sway public opinion and policy.
And number eight is the late Ted Kennedy.
Isn't that fascinating?
We had with Colin Powell, what, 10, a moderate, somebody seen as a moderate, Rush Limbaugh, somebody on the right, Ted Kennedy, somebody on the left.
By the way, speaking of the Kennedys, this is the first time in 23 years there has not been a member of the Kennedy family in elective office.
And I said one of the first bits that we ever did on this program way back in the late 80s was term limits for the Kennedys.
It's something I actively supported in any number of ways.
And it took 22 years, but it's happened.
There are no more Kennedys in elective office after I, El Rushbaugh, began a policy of term limits for the Kennedys.
And that's why one of the many, many reasons these people at PMSNBC are talking about my power and my influence.
Here's Joe Scarborough.
Here's a guy that helped elect a lot of Republicans in 1994.
He really, I think, as much as anybody helped create the new media environment that we find ourselves in right now.
He had a remarkable influence with a lot of Tea Party candidates who took over Congress this year.
The megaphone that he has, though, carries such a great responsibility, and there's so many voices out there.
The path forward in terms of influence for someone like Rush Limbaugh is to probably try and stay true to what he believes given the money that can be made.
Yeah, he's making a lot of money, but the world has changed so dramatically.
When Rush Limbaugh started this 20 years ago, he was alone.
Think about all the carbon copies that have followed Limbaugh.
The challenge for Rush is to figure out how being the original to still break through with so many people like he has for 20 years.
That's Joe Scarborough.
And again, Mika Bzezynski, your host, El Rushbaugh, number nine on the top 10 most influential Americans of the 21st century so far list.
And they put so far in there for those of you from Riolinda because the 21st century isn't over yet.
Still 90 years to go on the 21st century.
Here is on Christmas Day, C-SPAN's Washington Journal, Juan Williams, taking calls from viewers.
And a caller on the Democrat lines.
It's an absolute visceral attack from right-wing talk radio.
It's almost like a political advertising for the past two years.
Rush Limbaugh finding every possible thing to be disagreeing with the president, you know, Democrat policy on anything.
It's so obvious.
It's so obvious, negative from Rush.
Being highly critical of President Obama as a political strategy has proven successful.
If you look at what Republicans in the House and Senate did in the first two years, which is basically to say, you know what, no, we don't want President Obama's policies.
This has fueled the Tea Party to some extent, and it has acted as a base for the changes that we saw take place in the midterm elections.
And President Obama, his White House, did not do a good job of telling their story.
People like Rush Limbaugh took over much of the conversation even after the passage of the health care reform bill.
Conservative talk radio in the country has been very hard on President Obama.
I listen to this stuff.
I listen to people talk about me, and I'm some of this stuff literally amazes me.
Being highly critical of Obama as a political strategy has proven successful.
If you look at what Republicans in the House and the Senate did in the first two years, basically to say, you know, no, we don't want Obama's policies.
What should they have done?
They're Republicans.
He's Democrats.
They're conservatives.
He's a socialist.
Strategy.
How about principle?
And alum means with that.
Highly critical of Obama as a political strategy has proven success.
Yeah, like every day I concoct a strategy in doing this program, a political strategy.
And I've decided that as a political strategy, I'm going to disagree with Obama that there's going to be success in that.
There's no allowance for principle, core belief in all this.
It's all just strategize.
It tells me more about these people than it does about me.
This is how they look at it.
Strategize here, strategize.
Have you noticed that every guest, it seems, on talk on cable news is a strategist now?
I don't care who it is.
Betty Crocker on there.
She'd be identified as a Republican strategist or as a Democrat strategist.
And when I first saw this mentioned, I thought, well, they must be part of the party hierarchy.
They must be paid strategerists.
And I started noticing that some of these people aren't paid by anybody.
They're just average ordinary Americans that happen to get a guest gig, and they call themselves Democrat or Republican strategists when the hierarchy of either party's never heard of them.
But that's what they call themselves.
So everything's a strategy now.
And if that's the way they look at it, it's no wonder they've never figured this program out or me or half the other people who do what I do.
Okay, we're here and we're back.
El Rushbaugh and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Now to the phones, we're going to start Miami.
Chuck, great to have you here, sir.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Rush.
Let me start by saying Happy New Year and Happy Birthday.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Thank you for everything you do, sir.
And I've got to say, I think Obama is the most corrupt president we ever had.
To get Obamacare passed, he bribed more senators and congressmen than Pal Capone ever thought about doing.
That's true.
With the Cornhusker affair and all the union deals and everything, it was outrageous.
Yeah, if it weren't for that, that law would have never seen the light of day if it had not been purchased.
You're absolutely right.
And some people might, that's not corruption, Rush.
That's just the way things happen.
And a lot of people's book is corruption.
And I don't look.
I don't think there's any doubt about it.
There's a somewhat related topic.
Peter Schweitzer, whose work we've quoted on this show before, and is an author, written several interesting books, treatises on the regime, has a post someplace.
I haven't seen it.
I've heard people referencing it, asking the question, could Obama actually be doing what he's doing, the economy, on purpose?
And it says, it may sound crazy to ask the question.
It's not crazy to ask the question.
It's late to ask the question.
You know, I, as you people know, have been proffering that as a guess or as a prediction or as an assertion for nearly two years, particularly under the auspices in which Obama's offered all this so-called economic policy solution stuff, none of it's guaranteed.
None of it had any hope of working as designed.
None of what he's done is going to create a single job in the private sector.
None of it.
The drilling moratorium on oil in the Gulf and the river.
That's not purposeful.
We know the guy's got a chip on his shoulder about the oil industry.
We know he's got a chip on his shoulder but capitalism.
We know he's got a chip on his shoulder about this country.
I think more and more people starting to ask the question now is an indication that more and more people are actually considering it.
It's a tough thing for a lot of people to accept that they've actually elected a president who intends harm to the U.S. economy.
A lot of people just, that's so foreign.
That's just accept a lot of people not liking the United States.
You can accept it.
The president?
But more and more people starting to ask the question.
Now, that's not per se corrupt, but some of the ways in which these policies have been enacted into law certainly are.
Would you say it's corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to buy search results on Google for propaganda purposes to spread your own lies about your own health care bill?
When most people think that the search engine just pulls up what's the best answer to the question?
You know, most people haven't the slightest idea you can buy search results.
They know you can buy ads.
Most people don't know you can buy search results.
And then to learn that your government's using your tax dollars to do it to further their own propaganda.
Marilyn in Dallas, you're next.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Oh, welcome back, Rush.
You've been long.
Don't do that to us.
Well, I'm glad to be back.
Hello.
Yeah, hi.
Hello.
Yes.
Hello, Marilyn.
Testing 1234.
Rush?
Yes, I'm here.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I pulled the phone off.
I got so excited about talking to you.
You unplugged your own phone, huh?
Yes.
Anyway, I was calling about the sound bites you played earlier about the Democrats trying to warn the Republicans that they're going to undo some really popular benefits.
In particular, the one that says that the Medicare recipients will receive 50% off of their drugs when they hit the donut hole.
That is not a benefit.
Instead of being popular, it's one of the most destructive parts in the bill.
Because if you look closer at the bill, what it does, it doesn't say that the government can pay 50% of your costs during the donut hole.
What it says is the government has the power to go into the drug company and demand that the drug company discount that drug during the donut hole by 50%.
Now, that eats in their profit.
But not only is that, if they don't do that, then the drug company that makes that particular pill, that drug is going to be taken off of Medicare's approved list in future.
So that means that drug will never be able to be covered by a drug company again.
You're mostly right about this, and this is all by design.
No question about it.
I'm glad you called, Marilyn.
Thanks much.
Brief time out, folks.
More phone calls right now around the corner.
And that's Music Maestro Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra.
Tune is called Sweet Summer Sweet.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh.
Half my brain, as usual, tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Is it corrupt, folks?
Is it corrupt to ban oil drilling even when judges have ruled that it's illegal to ban oil drilling?
Is it corrupt to just ignore judicial rulings?
Is it corrupt to pretend the Constitution doesn't exist?
You know, in talking about the corruption of this administration, it really would take less time to detail where they're not.
What about all of the czars?
Now, you might be saying, well, Rush, you're playing fast and loose here with the definition of corruption.
I don't know what it is when you have a bunch of agency heads about whom no one knows, don't know how they were selected, do not know what they're earning, and do not know what they are doing.
These are people that are not confirmed by the Senate as our cabinet members.
These are people that have no oversight whatsoever, no accountability.
We don't know what they're doing.
They are not provided for in the executive branch by virtue of the Constitution.
Is that corrupt?
Well, it's certainly fast and loose.
We've not had an administration like we've had liberals.
We've had members of Congress like this.
But we've never had this kind of concentrated leftist power before.
And the American people, I think this is a great thing, by the way, that more and more people are waking up to it and seeing it.
Admitted after the election 2008, many of you were in a funk thinking, oh my gosh, we've lost the country.
Because many of you, you know, we all assume, many of us assume that everybody's just as informed as we are about things.
And we just assumed that, well, this is what they wanted.
Then we came to realize that this election had so little to do with substance.
It was all about theatrics and image PR propaganda packaging.
And in some cases, people's votes were all about them.
This historical notion that we could somehow eliminate our original sin of slavery if we would just elect a black president.
It'd all be done.
We can wipe out racism.
People actually believed that.
And people actually believed that they were voting in such a way as to make them better people.
I am a good person.
I'm not a racist.
I voted for the first black president, regardless what the guy stood for.
And there was quite a bit of that.
And now, the election of 2008, we got more Republicans in Washington than at any time since 2004, 2006, in Congress, I mean.
And that's not insignificant, nor is it a coincidence.
Here's Tom in South Holland, Illinois.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Corner Rush, how you doing?
Very good.
Thanks very much.
Good.
You know, well, I'm getting a little tired of the namey Pamby Diaper wearing inconsequential cry babies attacking Rush Limbaugh, used to attack William F. Buckley.
You're not going to be very successful if you're attacking knowledge and common sense because it just makes you look like a person that really doesn't know what they're doing when they're trying to do it.
And these are also the same people, if I recall correctly, who were beating up on Bush for two years after he left office.
And they were solely responsible for the organization now called the ASPCDH, which is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dead Horses.
You get so tired of it.
You know, attacking Rush Limbaugh is like pushing a greasy pig up an oily hill.
You're not going to be successful, so why don't you quit doing it?
And our president, you were talking about the smartest guy in the room, or is he dumb, or is he smart dumb?
I come to the conclusion he's either a puppet or he really doesn't know what he's doing because he's never had a real job in our world.
He got paid $180,000 a year for saying present 150 times, which the calculation is $1,200 per saying present.
I wish I had that kind of a job.
So I'm kind of with you in a way that you're trying to decide, is he that stupid?
Or has he been set up by somebody to do what they want to do, not caring whether he looks stupid or not?
And anytime anybody says that Sarah Palin's not going to make it because she doesn't have enough experience, excuse me.
You could stack her up against this skinny little guy any day of the week and come up on top with her experience.
About that, to this day, I run into Republicans and conservatives that you know, and I'm not going to mention any names here, who spout that line.
She's not intellectually hefty enough.
She's never got elected to be horrible.
And I just trot out my line on them.
Oh, yeah, yeah, give me four more years of Obama.
And they kind of look at me with heads cocked, not quite understanding.
They think I'm agreeing with them, but then they think I'm not, and they can't figure it out.
But there's a lot of, I mean, we're being set up now to give us the same group of people that ran in 2008.
Huckabee, Mitt.
The left and the media is doing its best to compress our field into people who've already lost.
And for a purpose.
Now, this criticism of me, criticism of Bush, it is totally understand why it happens.
The left cannot advance their agenda by promoting it.
The left cannot get elected by being honest about who they are and what they believe.
The left requires villains, demons.
They must demonize people.
And they will demonize the people they think, according to their focus group and other type polls.
They will demonize people who are polarizing or who are outspoken, confident, sincere about what they believe, because the only way they, and then try to position those people, i.e. me, as the leader of the opposition to the left.
And they've, in my case, they even trotted that out not long after Obama was imaculated, trotted out the fact that I am the leader of the Republican Party.
And the only, look, I don't mind it, but what it means is, is that no other Republican speaking up.
If any other Republican were speaking up, I guarantee you he'd be the demon.
But a lot of Republicans are content to let me be the demon, fly under the radar, and escape the criticism because you can't get elected in politics by people who don't like you.
You can have media success if people don't like you.
You can't get elected.
So they're content to let that fly.
Solo at me.
But it's I know it's not even about me.
It's about them.
They are the ones that have to have demons.
And they're just going to make demons.
And they chose Bush because they knew Bush wouldn't fight back.
Plus, Bush was the president.
And they choose me because I genuinely do frighten them.
I'm right.
They know it.
They know I have them pegged.
Their task is to make sure that the people who let's put it this way: their task, their objective is to make sure that no more people than already do agree with me.
I'll tell you, this is, I get questions from people that are essentially, over the course of life, I run into people various places and say, what's it like to be you?
They don't ask it that way, but that's what they want to know.
What's it like to be you?
And even among people that know me, you wouldn't believe how happy they are when they discover that I'm not as hated as they think I am.
And they think I'm hated because of the media.
They think I'm hated because I was talking to some people the other day about if you stop and think just how much of what you think is important every day is shaped by the media, not just in politics, but in anything.
I'll give you a first example that comes to my mind as a sports example because that's all I paid attention to when I was gone.
There's something happened in the NFL.
It was, I forget what it was.
And all throughout the media, in reports, websites, on the air, these people are all saying, everybody's talking about X.
And everybody wasn't talking about X.
They were.
The media was talking about it.
But it wasn't the result of people talking about it that caused the media to start talking about it.
It's the media talking about it amongst themselves and thinking that their universe is everybody when it isn't.
Now here I am.
I happen to know because I know me better than I know that when I tell you I'm a harmless, lovable little fuzzball, I am.
I know I am one of the nicest guys you will ever run into.
I know no matter how you define it, I'm one of those.
People who know me know that.
And yet they are just happy as they can be when they find out others might think that too, because they think that they're going to have to defend me all the time to people or what have you.
That's just the nature of how people allow media to affect what they think of people.
I mean, I can't, it happened even out in Hawaii.
People close to me, they were so happy to find out that most people in the restaurant liked me.
They're afraid that people are going to actually come up and start giving me the business.
And they were just thrilled to find out that most of the people at one guy said, how do you come out in public like this?
I mean, don't people want to come up and just sock you?
I said, no, that never happens.
It's the exact opposite.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, if anybody approaches me in public, they're listeners.
They're fans.
They're big support.
Really?
Yeah.
I said, well, how long have you known me?
A number of years.
Oh, yeah.
You ever feel like socking me?
Well, no.
Well, why do you think these people would?
Well, you know, because, no, I don't know.
Tell me.
And it's all look, not complaining here.
I'm just, I'm just illustrating that the media has this ability to shape and form everybody's beliefs.
And these people demonizing me on the left take advantage of it and they know it.
Their biggest problem is it hasn't worked.
If it had been successful, I'd be long gone.
If all that was said about me over all these years was true, folks, there wouldn't be a penny spent in support of this program.
But it's just the exact opposite.
So when they start criticizing me and trying to demonize me, it took me a long time to understand this.
It's actually a high form of flattery.
It's actually very complimentary.
There's a lot of jealousy on the media people's part, too.
I mean, on the left, but just in media ways, business circumstances.
But the criticism of me or Bush or whoever it is in the future on the right, as long as they start picking on people telling the truth, it's going to be real tough because it's tough to demonize the truth.
It's very tough to make truth a villain, which is what they're doing when they come after me or pretty much any other conservative.
I was talking about earlier.
We don't strategize.
Here's who we are.
What we believe is in our hearts and it's our minds that we don't need a teleprompter or cue cards, and we don't have to have a meeting with each other to tell ourselves what we're going to say.
We know it.
We don't even need notes.
Nor do we need focus groups.
Not to tell people who we are, not to tell people what we really believe, not to tell people what we want to see done.
Some conservatives might need help in strategizing aspects of their success agenda and so forth, but not who you are and not what you believe and so forth.
So if they want to keep demonizing the truth, I'll be glad to be the target.
Makes me proud and humbled at the same time.
Back to the phones, we go.
El Rushbo serving humanity just by being here.
This is Philadelphia.
And Adam, nice to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Happy New Year, Rush.
And I love your show, and I agree with 99% of what you say.
And I really hate to agree with Ross, Meathead, Reiner on anything.
However, while I give you credit for being seven years ahead of the curve about Donovan McNabb, you were uncharacteristically off four weeks ago when you made a prediction about my Philadelphia Eagles.
Can I just refresh you and your audience?
You want to, yeah, go right ahead.
Okay.
Well, you said that the Philadelphia Eagles wouldn't even make the playoffs, and you proceeded to go through very specifically with what remained of the schedule.
You said, first, in week 14, there'd be a loss when the Eagles played the Dallas Cowgirls.
And second, there would be a loss when the Eagles played the New York Giants, which in memorable fashion, and I know you were watching a lot of sports.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
That's true.
Honestly, I did think those two things were going to happen, and I was almost right in New York over the last eight minutes.
I'm not done yet.
Third, in week 15, you said the Birds would win versus the Minnesota Vikings.
And by the way, that Eagles loss did only occur after Michael Dick received an endorsement from Barack Hussein Obama, and results that did take place in Antarctic windshield.
And fourth, you said there'd be a win versus the Cowgirls.
So between those games and the overall playoff prediction, we'll say you were over four and a half if the Eagles rested their starters again in the last week against Dallas, having already clinched.
So, what do you have to say?
Blew it.
I blew it.
I actually, as I looked at the schedule and I looked at the way teams were playing at the time, and plus, I always make it a ⁇ you should know this if you listen regularly.
I do not buy just what we were talking about a moment ago.
Media conventional wisdom, I go the other way.
Media conventional wisdom is not reality.
And the media conventional wisdom is the Eagles were unbeatable.
And I was right up until game time.
And then they played the game, and I ended up somehow being wrong.
But up until the only time I was wrong was when I played the game.
So, but yeah, I'm right about McNabb.
Isn't it interesting, too, in all these McNabb stories?
You do not find my name now.
Not one of them.
I mean, for seven years, every McNabb story about how McNabb was getting the shaft, I was being disrespected.
Limpaugh's name was now you won't find my name in a single Donovan McNabb story.
At any rate, yep.
I did make those predictions about the Eagles because that's what I thought at the time based on how everybody was playing.
But we'll see.
Now we've got Eagles.
I'm telling you what, losing to the Vikings and having the, you know, missed the bye week and so forth, this is my prediction may end up coming true, albeit a month late.
Folks, look, it's a strategy.
I have to be wrong about some things.
Otherwise, people are going to think I'm a witch.
So I choose to be wrong about insignificant things like the Philadelphia Eagles.
