Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yes, on the sixth day of Christmas, Rush Limbaugh gave to us a third-rate Canadian guest host.
But don't worry, the season of guest hosts is drawing to a close.
I'll be here tomorrow.
Best of Rush on New Year's Day.
And then Thursday, January the 2nd, Rush returns, the indispensable man to start a new year of full strength, all-American, all-authentic excellence in broadcasting.
But for the moment, we're here live at Ice Station EIB in far northern New Hampshire.
Mr. Snerdley is running the show down in New York.
We had snow all yesterday afternoon and night here at Ice Station EIB, that wet, sticky snow that looks so pretty the morning after when it's clinging to the branches and power lines just before they all fall down on top of your cars as they're driving along.
So it looks terrific.
December 30th, of course, for any Scottish listeners out there, it's the day before Hogman A. My Boxing Day special didn't go down well last week on Thursday.
I got barraged by hate mail from people saying, it's not, if you want to celebrate Boxing Day, go back to Canada, Stein.
It's not Boxing Day here.
There's no such thing as Boxing Day in America.
In America, the day after Christmas is called Cinco de Mayo.
Got it?
So, okay, we won't do the Boxing Day thing.
I think today, December 30th, it's Republic Day in Madagascar.
And it's also the day of the declaration of Slovakia as an independent ecclesiastic province.
So happy day of the declaration of Slovakia as an independent ecclesiastic province to any Slovaks listening.
I think it sounds snappier in Slovak, but because of the hostility to our Boxing Day special, we're going to hold off on the Malagasy and Slovak recipes until the third hour of the show.
Ted Cruz, by the way, this Boxing Day, this hostility to Boxing Day has obviously got to Ted Cruz because he has now announced, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, has hired lawyers to officially renounce his Canadian citizenship.
He expects the process to be completed sometime in 2014.
This is a report in the Dallas Morning News.
By the way, speaking as a Canadian, I had no idea.
This is news to me that it's that complicated to renounce your Canadian citizenship.
It's certainly not difficult to acquire.
Half the genocidal butchers in Sudan have got a Canadian passport in the back of their pocket in case things go a bit rough over there.
But apparently, Ted Cruz has hired.
Again, I didn't even realize you needed to hire a team of lawyers.
I just thought you had to call 1-800, I'm No Longer Canadian, and say, hello, I don't want to be Canadian anymore.
I didn't realize you had to pay half a million dollars in legal fees.
But apparently, Senator Cruz, he was not aware of his dual citizenship until it was brought to his attention by the newspaper earlier this year.
Though his mother was an, he was born in Calgary, Alberta.
His mother was an American citizen and his father a Cuban citizen at the time.
And Cruz became an automatic Canadian citizen just by being born in that country.
That's the bad luck that can befall a guy, even as he exits the womb.
Cruz told the Dallas Morning News he hasn't attempted to renounce his citizenship previously because he wasn't even aware he had it.
By the way, there's millions of Americans like that walking around.
They're not aware.
They're not even aware they may be carrying the dread Canadian gene within them, but they are.
They just don't know it yet.
It could activate at any moment.
His mother told him he would have to make an affirmative act to have it claimed.
So he would have to go to a hockey game or buy the Celine Dion Christmas album or something like that.
And he said there was no reason at that time to retain counsel to analyze Canadian law.
By the way, I've been on the receiving end of Canadian law.
It's certainly not worth retaining counsel over because it wasn't relevant to anything I was doing.
He says, however, that he does not bear any ill will.
Unlike the people who hammered me for doing a Boxing Day special on Russia's show last Thursday, he says, Senator Cruz says he does not bear any ill will toward America's northern neighbor.
He says, yeah, thanks, thanks.
Renounce it's the love that dare not speak his name.
I'd like to see if he'd been Mexican, whether they'd have made him renounce his Mexican citizenship.
But he's apparently having to renounce his Canadian citizenship, the last acceptable phobia.
You know, I wish, you know what he sounds like to me?
I mean, I don't like to complain, but it's like when it's like when Phil Robertson says he doesn't personally have any ill will toward the gays, you know, he just thinks it's he personally doesn't can't see the attraction of it.
Phil Robertson explained in graphic detail why he'd rather be heterosexual than homosexual.
And likewise, Ted Cruz has laid it out in graphic detail why he'd rather be American or Canadian.
And he said he doesn't bear, you know, he's mindful of God's injunction that we have to love everybody.
He says he's not showing any ill will toward America's northern neighbor.
It's yeah, that's right.
Mr. Serdley says, so this analogy, Canadians are the homosexuals.
Basically, Mr. Serdley is right.
Canadians are the homosexuals of North America.
And Ted Cruz is saying he's got nothing against them personally.
It's for God to judge.
He will leave it for God at heaven's gate to sort out the fornicators, the sodomites, and the Canadians.
And that's Ted Cruz's basic.
But he's just saying he personally can't see the attraction of it and he's not having any part of it himself.
So, well, I'm hoping, I'm hoping that there's an equivalent to GLAAD, this gay group, CLAD, a Canadian, a Canadian group, that will call up ANE or the United States Senate, because I think this is the last acceptable hatred, Mr. Snerdley.
But Ted Cruz has basically said he doesn't want to be Canadian.
So he's read the writing on the wall after all the hostility to the Boxing Day special, the Rush Limbaugh show.
1-800-282-2882.
By the way, before I forget, I'd like to address a bit of unfinished business from Thursday's show.
If you remember, Debbie from St. Louis called up about the transgendered grade school.
And if Debbie from St. Louis is listening again today and wants to call back, I'd be delighted to speak to you because I'd like to say this to you.
But if not, we'll get to it in the final part of the show.
Also happening today, this is really the big story today.
This ship of global warmongers that went to the Antarctic to look at all the way the Antarctic ice has disappeared because they understood that the science was settled and that global warming is a fact and only deniers and denialists deny that climate change is happening.
And this ship, this ship got stuck in ice.
Apparently the Antarctic ice didn't know the science was settled and froze the ship in place.
A Chinese icebreaker got stuck in the ice itself.
The ice is so thick, by the way, the Chinese icebreaker got stuck trying to rescue them.
And an Australian icebreaker on the way to rescue the Chinese icebreaker is now saying it may have difficulty getting to them and rescuing them.
On board, this ship, I believe it's a Russian ship, but on board are scientists from the University of New South Wales, journalists from the Guardian newspaper.
This may well be, The Guardian, you'll recall, are the ones who are in bed with Edward Snowden and have all the NSA stuff that the NSA has been recording on it.
So this may be the NSA's simple way of getting their own back on the Guardian.
They've got scientists from the University of New South Wales, climate scientists, journalists from The Guardian, and dozens of tourists who've paid to be on board this ship.
It's recreating Sir Douglas Mawson's exhibition expedition of 1912.
He's the great Australian geologist and his famous Antarctic expedition of 1912.
Dozens and dozens of tourists paid to be on this ship to go and see that, in fact, there is no ice at Antarctica and they were expecting to see seeds of global warming devastating the Antarctic ice.
And instead, they're stuck in Antarctic ice and no one can get to them at all.
And I love the idea.
By the way, if you're wondering who will survive, because we're probably about three days from them all starting to fight and then decide which one's going to get eaten first, my bet is the slippery, devious, duplicitous hacks from The Guardian in London will eat the tourists.
If this is when they make the movie version, it'll be the devious hacks from The Guardian who eat all the tourists.
But basically, I mean, tourists, tourists, these are sort of global warming tourists taking tours of the apocalypse.
They expected to see scenes.
I mean, they've every right to ask for their money back, I would think.
They expected to see signs of global warming devastation, and instead they're stuck in ice, you know.
So it's like the, well, it's like the love boat.
This is basically the environmentalist equivalent of the love boat.
The ice boat soon will be watching a polar bear drown.
That's what they were expecting.
They were expecting to take a cruise.
They'd be with their fellow apocalyptic doommongers and they'd be enjoying the melting ice and the polar bears drowning before they were.
And they're saying, oh, all those settled scientists, it turns out.
And instead, they're stuck in ice.
The ice is so thick.
The icebreakers can't break the ice.
The Chinese icebreaker got stuck in the ice.
Now a new icebreaker is on its way to try and rescue them.
So spare a thought for them.
That's like, you know, that's like going on like a singles cruise and discovering that there are no other singles on the ship.
They've gone there to see all the devastation of the Antarctic, and instead they're stuck in thicker ice than there has been in years.
By the way, I take an interest in this because I'm currently being sued by Dr. Michael Mann, the guy who invented the global warming hockey stick.
And I mocked his hockey stick, and chaps don't like that sort of thing.
So he's suing me for mocking his hockey stick.
And we were in court, and my legal team tried to break the ice by offering to shake his hand, but he refused to do so.
So you can't break the ice with these guys, whether you're in the courtroom with them, they're that insecure, apparently, or whether you're down in the Antarctic in the special ship.
So all these guys are stuck in ice.
We'll bring you up to date.
If they start eating each other before the show ends today, we will bring you updates on that.
In fact, we may skip.
No, my case wasn't thrown out of court the first day, Mr. Surley.
You're absolutely right about that.
It was rather astonishing to me, too.
But it looks like it may well be going to trial, in which case, I certainly hope that in jury selection we probe the potential jurors for how boxing day phobic they are, because otherwise I'll be looking at a 30-year spell in jail.
Anyway, we'll talk about that if we get news on how many of them have been eaten by the climate scientists in the course of the show.
We will also bring you a look at the latest developments in Benghazi.
There was a very interesting story in the New York Times that read strangely as if it had less to do with events that happened in Benghazi and more to do with getting Hillary Clinton out of a few bumpy questions at county fairs in Iowa and New Hampshire in the next couple of years.
And also relate not unrelated to Benghazi.
This is fascinating.
From the New York Post, the personal email account of a State Department whistleblower was hacked and four years' worth of messages, not just his personal email, but emails detailing alleged wrongdoing at the State Department, were deleted.
This is the computer of Richard Higbee, the Diplomatic Security Service criminal investigator who mysteriously had all his emails from the last four years deleted.
And that, curiously, happened just the same day as the New York Times ran this revisionist story on what happened in Benghazi.
We'll talk about that.
We'll look back at the year that was and ahead to the thrills of 2014 to come.
Mark Stein, in for rush, lots more to come.
Hey, Mark Stein, in for rush on the Excellence in Broadcasting network.
All kinds of strange things happened over the Christmas period.
The Nativity at Claremont United Methodist Church in California, somewhere in the Los Angeles area.
In their manger scene, they replaced baby Jesus with Trayvon, baby Trayvon, slumped over in his hoodie as a pool of blood spreads over his manger.
He's swaddled in a hoodie with a pool of blood spreading over his manger.
The photo I have here of the scene is it's cropped, so I can't see whether they've gone the whole hog and whether they have the three wise men bringing him bags of Skittles or whatever, and whether the wise men are played by the Reverend Al Sharpton and the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
But this has been, this is the scene at the United Methodist Church in Claremont, California, showing their version of the Nativity with baby Jesus replaced by baby Trayvon and a pool of blood spreading over the bed of straw.
So seasons, greetings, and Merry Christmas from the Claremont United Methodist Church.
I mentioned, by the way, this ship that's stuck in the Antarctic ice of climate change Groupies who basically gone on the sort of official cruise of the Al Gore Inconvenient Truth movie.
They've gone on a kind of global apocalypse cruise, and instead of seeing the devastation and the absolute no lack of ice and polar bears dying and all the rest of it, they're stuck in thick ice over 15 feet thick.
This, by the way, is summer in Antarctica.
Because there are a couple of seasons behind us down there on that end of the world.
So it's winter here, but it's summer down there.
And it's summer in Antarctica, and they're all stuck in 15 feet of thick ice.
And I suggested that the Guardian journalists would be eating the environmental tourists first.
But if they were sensible, they'd both team up and eat the climate change scientists on board.
We'll bring you up to speed on that.
But it never stops.
Nothing.
I love the way, by the way, all the climate change tweeters are saying, you know, the way, like, when there's heavy snow, they say, weather isn't the same as climate.
Gosh, only really stupid people say weather's got nothing to do with climates.
Yes, it's 87 degrees and sunny is a sign of global warming.
And if it's 30 below and there's three foot of snow, that's a sign of global warming.
And if it's 54 and cloudy, that's a sign of global warming.
Well, it's the same thing, just like Antarctic ice.
There's all these prissy little tweeters from the climate change groups now saying, don't display your ignorance.
Everybody knows that thick ice that your ship gets stuck in is a sign of global warming.
Everything is a sign of global warming.
But they're taking it seriously.
Here's the latest proposal that meat should be taxed.
The journal Nature Climate Change, which is one of those big peer-reviewed journals that they're all keen on, has now said that meat should be taxed to encourage people to eat less of it, so reducing the production of global warming gases from sheep, cattle, and goats, according to a group of scientists.
Now, this boils down to what's come up on this show before, which is the bovine flatulence.
It causes more global warming than your SUV.
If you stick your SUV in a field and you stick a flatulent Holstein in a field, the flatulent Holstein will cause far more global warming than your SUV will.
But they don't like to say that because then it sounds just like, you know, a big sacrifice.
We're going to get all the cows and pile them up on a big fire and burn the cows to help cut methane emissions from all these.
So instead, they're going to do it gradually by taxing meat.
So they're going to tax meat so that the flatulent Holsteins emit less methane.
If you would stop going, you know, to the steakhouse out on the edge of town, or if you got there, you just had a little bit of a salad, you had like a curly end dive or something, and you didn't have the big T-bone steak.
So they're going to cut back on tax meat in order to cut back on bovine flatulence.
The latest genius idea from the guys who want to save the planet.
Yes, Rush returns live Thursday, January the 2nd for authentic full-strength excellence in broadcasting as he launches another year on America's number one radio show 2014.
I think regardless of how you feel about Obamacare or Benghazi or any of this stuff, I think there's no doubt that conservatism, and I use, and I mean conservatism, by the way, not the Republican Party.
What happens to the Republican Party we shall see in November.
But the principles of conservatism, core principles, going back to Mrs. Thatcher's great line that the facts of life are conservatives, a conservative, received a boost in the course of this year.
If you go back to where we were a year ago, a year ago, the big story was supposedly how Republicans were doomed, demographically doomed.
They were the party of dead white men, and they represented a dwindling constituency, and they had to do this to reach out to Hispanics and do that to reach out to this.
And everything was about the problems in the Republican Party.
Big government damaged its brand in the course of this year.
The great thing about the rollout of Obamacare was that in the months beforehand, Obama exempted so many of his base.
He exempted the big unions.
He exempted all kinds of crony capitalists who knew the right number to dial in Washington and all the rest of it.
And what happened on October the 1st was that basically the brunt of Obamacare's launch was borne by the individual mandate, which, as he kept saying, is just, oh, 5% of the people in the country.
Who cares about them?
A large number of those 5% included media figures, included artsy figures, included anybody who doesn't work for a big or medium-sized business and is self-employed and has to look for their own, make provision for their own health coverage.
So it clobbered a lot of the people who were actually fans of Obamacare, who happened to be freelance writers.
I love that piece in the Los Angeles Times by some guy who said when he'd always been in favor of Obamacare, he never realized that he was going to be its first victim.
The New York Times ran a story on all these liberal artsy types who discovered that they were going to be clobbered by it, that their plans had been cancelled, and so they tried to go onto the website and got nowhere with it.
And by the way, do you remember what Nancy Pelosi said?
I think this was a couple of July 4ths ago.
She said we should celebrate particularly this July the 4th because finally, thanks to Obamacare, we truly have the right to pursue happiness.
Now you don't have to stay in a job you're unhappy with because it's got healthcare coverage.
Now you can pursue your dreams to become an artist, to become a writer, to go and compose that opera you've always wanted to write.
We went for a golden age of American ballet and sculpture because now you didn't have to do that dreary office job just because it provides health coverage.
Thanks to Obamacare, you could go and write that opera and still have fantastic healthcare coverage.
And the first, the very first victims of Obamacare were all in this New York Times story.
All those people who sit around the garret every day writing their operas, writing their ballets, doing their sculpture, because they're in the individual market and their healthcare plans got canceled and the replacement plans cost four times as much.
And instead of $1,000 deductible, it's a $8,000 deductible.
And all these people are learning the price of liberalism.
Because if you are like a choreographer in New York, liberalism generally comes without a price.
It's just something to talk about at dinner parties.
You know, you say, oh, yes, I think that's absolutely disgraceful that there's people with no healthcare coverage in America.
That's why I fully support Obamacare.
Well, now you've joined the people with no healthcare coverage in America.
How does that feel?
You're paying the price for your liberalism.
Liberalism comes with a price tag.
And this year, a lot of the people who discovered that price tag were some of Obama's most enthusiastic supporters.
And in the broader sense, the failure of Obamacare nailed the lie of these guys.
You know, Obama is always going on about how it's not about big government, it's not about small government, it's about smarter government.
And I think he has a hashtag for that, too.
I think he, when he tweets these little, these, these incredible insights of his, they come with this little hashtag he puts on his tweets.
I think he's the first president with a hashtag.
In fact, I don't think, to the best of my knowledge, Franklin Pierce never had a hashtag, and Chester Arthur never had a hashtag.
So I think he, Benjamin Harrison, may have had a hashtag.
I don't want to, we should check with the historians before we definitively rule on that.
But he may be the first ever president with a hashtag, which is hashtag smarter government, because that's his pose, that it's not about ideology, it's not about left-wing, it's not about right-wing, it's just about all the greatest minds on the planet who've all got these advanced degrees from Harvard and Yale, and they've thought about these issues for years.
They've sat around in the faculty lounges of the most eminent citadels of learning, thinking great thoughts all their lives.
And finally, we have given them the keys to the car.
And all these great thinkers who are not, they're not ideologues, they're not socialists or capitalists, it's not about left or right.
Big government, small government, it's just about hashtag smarter government.
And the hashtag smarter government technocrats have made the biggest disaster.
They can't do it.
They couldn't do it.
They're people who have never done anything.
They're people who've never made payroll.
They're people who've never run a hardware store.
John Kerry, I think his only private sector experience was he spent two weeks as the sleeping partner in a donut stand in Boston.
That's his only private sector experience.
There's less private sector experience in this administration than in any administration going back a century.
And yet they thought they could governmentalize one sixth of the economy, governmentalize basically the equivalent of governmentalizing another G7 economy, and that having given it a hashtag, it would all work.
Oh, look, how's the Obamacare plans coming along?
Hey, great.
We hired this really cool guy, and he said, why not try tweeting with a hashtag smarter government?
Oh, great.
That's good.
Any other news?
No, no, everything else seems to be working fine.
They got the hashtag and never gave the rest of it another sort.
So big government damaged its brand in the course of 2013.
Disastrously.
You can say what you like about FDR or LBJ.
And they keep saying this.
They keep saying, oh, there were a few glitches with Social Security.
There were a few glitches.
There were no glitches on the scale of what has happened with Obamacare.
There's nothing compared to that in the launch of Social Security or in the launch of Medicare.
So they're trashing their own idols.
They're trashing FDR and LBJ when they say that, because it isn't true.
But I love the latest explanation.
This is from Eleanor Holmes Norton, the Democrat delegate in Congress for the District of Columbia.
She said on Monday that a negative propaganda campaign by Republicans has confused Americans.
The enrollment is so low because people think the law has been repealed.
She was an MSNBC earlier today, and she said there's millions of people out there who'd like to sign up for Obamacare, but they think the law has been repealed.
So that's why they haven't signed up.
This is the latest talking point from the Democrat Party on why the enrollment numbers for Obamacare are a total bust.
Because millions of people out there, they'd like to sign up, but there's been so much negative publicity from Republicans that they think the law has been repealed, so they can't sign up.
By the way, yeah, everybody smart has signed up already, Mr. Sudley.
That's right.
So they're now trying to attract the no-information voters and persuade them that, in fact, Obamacare, they've got to explain to them that Obamacare has not been.
By the way, the reason people may think Obamacare has been repealed is because every other day, the President of the United States is going on television and saying, oh, well, we're not putting into operation this part of the law and we're not putting into operation that part of law and we're staying this and we're withdrawing that and we're repealing this.
So it would be entirely reasonable for a semi-informed person to think that Obamacare had, in fact, been repealed.
You can see how that kind of confused.
By the way, I'm going to try that on April the 15th because if you remember, there was like a bit of bad publicity about the IRS this year with Lois Lerner.
And I think it's not unreasonable.
It would be not unreasonable if, say, I think it's 1.2 million people have enrolled for Obamacare now.
So why don't 1.2 million people pay your taxes on April the 15th?
And the rest of us can say, oh, well, there was so much bad publicity about the IRS.
We thought the agency had been abolished.
That's the latest talking point of Eleanor Holmes Norton, the Democrat delegate for the District of Columbia.
Mark sign in for Rush, looking back at 2013 and looking ahead to 2014.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein for Rush on America's number one radio show.
Great to be behind the golden EIB microphone again.
Let's go to Eddie in Lakeland, Tennessee.
Eddie, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Yes, sir.
If you want to declaring proof that global warming is a hoax, think about the millions of buffalo that roam the western plains and the millions of wildebeest that roam Africa.
And I'm sure there's a few bullpoots in that.
Right.
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam.
So you're saying on your theory, then back in the old little house in the prairie times, there would have been far more global warming from the buffalo flatulence than there is around today.
I would think so.
That couple that with the Brits burning all the coal back then.
That was the only source of heat.
They burned all the trees, so they started burning coal.
Yeah, you never know.
It was a different time.
I mean, maybe people, as I said, I'm not a historian, but maybe somebody should look into whether all those smoke signals that the Indians were sending up were really being sent up by the Indians.
There could have been a whole lot of buffalo smoke signals distorting the picture back then.
You're right, though, that in fact, as I understand it, that actually when you look at an America that was 90% agricultural, as it was at the beginning of the Republic, you go back 200 years, and you talk about people who all had a most homes across the country had a small number of cattle, and people didn't, at that point,
people didn't worry about the dangers of bovine flatulence and all the rest of it, and certainly didn't propose taxing meat.
I don't know.
I think it's important that we all make our contribution.
I just bought a new Holstein, and it's a hybrid.
So, you know, that does do its part to lessen the dangers of bovine flatulence.
By the way, we don't want to introduce that.
The point of this meat tax is to decrease bovine flatulence.
The European Union seriously proposed the direct bovine flatulence tax.
And it's interesting in the kind of limits of government stupidity.
Because when they said we're going to tax bovine flatulence, and because it was a European Union racket, then immediately, it's like Obamacare.
Bovine flatulence is the Obamacare of Europe.
The minute it was proposed, everybody wanted exemptions.
So, for example, the Bulgars would be paying less for their bovine flatulence than the Irish were, because the Bulgars had got some kind of Bulgarian bovine flatulence exemption.
So they were paying far less per cow emission than the Irish would have been paying.
So the whole thing collapsed.
And so now they're proposing this meat tax.
And if you think about it, this is actually a perfect glimpse of the liberalist mindset because it says it understands that if you were to actually say to people, we're going to kill all the cows so they can't release their flatulence emissions and destroy the planet anymore, people would kind of, Peter would be mad about it.
Peter wouldn't be happy about that.
And instead, this way they're saying, we're going to introduce a meat tax.
And people say, oh, what's that about?
And they won't know, and it'll just be another 20 or 30% on the cost of whatever you pay for your steak.
And that way they, and that's actually how liberalism thinks, because it's a kind of basic principle of life that direct government is the more direct and close to you government is, the better it functions.
That's why town government in many parts of New Hampshire functions reasonably well, because if you wake up on a morning like this and your road hasn't been plowed of snow, you can call the town highway agent.
He's listed in the book, and he'll say, oh, I'm sorry about that.
We should be getting to you in about 20 minutes.
If it's being done at county level, state level, national level, or like the environmentalist movement at international level, who do you call?
Where do you go to call?
And so liberalism, for its big projects, loves to do it at one remove.
And a meat tax is the perfect way for them.
By the way, spare a thought for these guys stuck in the ice in the Antarctic, because if they introduce this meat tax too soon, those guys are and that will reduce global warming.
The Antarctic ice will get even thicker, and those guys will be in that hell of that environmental eco-cruise ship where they're already, even as we speak, they've eaten the lounge singer in the cabaret.
The hell of that ship, because they will be stuck in ice now for the next four summers.
Mark Stein and for Rush will take more of your calls straight ahead.
Mark Stein for Rush on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I'll be here tomorrow.
We've got a best rush for New Year's Day.
And don't forget, Rush returns live on January the 2nd.
Just reading a report on how sharks around Western Australia have now been fitted with transmitters.
So they tweet their presence wherever they happen to be instantly.
They sort of tweet involuntarily, as it were, like Anthony Wiener, I suppose.
That's the closest analogy.
We're keeping track on that.
We're also looking at the fate of the global warming cruise ship, which is stuck in the Antarctic ice.
These are the guys who, a bunch of climate scientists, left-wing journalists from The Guardian, Edward Snowden's favorite newspaper, and then a bunch of tourists who all paid a large amount of money to go to the Antarctic and see how all the ice had melted and all the creatures and wildlife were dying, and they were supposed to be looking at scenes of devastation, and they say they're instead that they're stuck in the ice.
The climate scientists absolutely stunned by this.
They said they'd never seen anything frost up that fast since Michelle saw Barak with the Danish prime minister.
So it was absolutely appalling to them.
They were truly stunned by what they'd been looking at.
We're also following the next stage of Obamacare because Obamacare's new test starts basically at midnight tomorrow as they drop the ball in Times Square.
People will be discovering, so far it's just been a paperwork problem.
But beginning on New Year's Day, people are going to be going to the pharmacy, they're going to be going to the doctor, they're going to be going to the emergency room.
And the worry for the administration is if there are people who think they've enrolled, but it turns out they haven't completed the convenient 32-step enrollment program and they haven't paid and they don't have coverage.
And they're going to be told that, yeah, you can have these pills, but you're going to have to pay full freight for them.
