Amazing

Rush Limbaugh disparaging President Obama and the Nobel Peace.


The first positive recognition by the world of the US in ages, and this is how some conservatives look at it.


Truth is, I get it. Essentially the prize is for the rejection of all the things Republicans have stood for internationally the previous 8 years, and Obama receives the award out of the hope he'll transition away from those things. Those ideas and actions represent the things Limbaugh and others have stood for.


Most of the world rejects US Republicans as a whole, and that's a fact.


Does he deserve the award? Nope. That's not the point though. It's the international community thanking the United States, not Obama. Thanking the US for reengaging, breaking barriers, and hopefully moving forward in our efforts to be a better nation.


It's a rejection of Bush.

From the Do What I Say...

Not what I do edition of the Rush Limbaugh show:

ST. LOUIS -- Published and broadcast reports say radio personality Rush Limbaugh and St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts are joining together in a bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams.

This is comical for a few reasons.

First, I heard the Limbaugh showed for 25 seconds yesterday, literally, and he was discussing football. Saying something to the effect, "Man, I hope Favre has a good game and doesn't throw it to the wrong team! Make sure you throw it to the guys in White!" I guess he doesn't realize the home team usually wears the colors...

Second, and more importantly, when Obama came into office, Limbaugh did an entire thing about how sports owners were going to sell their franchises because of tax reasons. How the Dolphins were going up for sale because it's no longer a good investment!

And on, and on, and on, and on...

Well, I guess it's not such a bad investment.

Or, maybe, for personal and sympathetic reasons, he just wants to be in control of the stadium the St. Louis Rams play in. After all, it is the home of one of America's greatest moments: THE FIRST FREE SPEECH ZONE!!!

Tough to Listen

Last night:

"I can't tell ya how impressed I AM with Bill Davis. Man, this Davis kid, he's tough, he's runnin', he's doin' the things you wanna see a player do. I'm really impressed..."


"I gotta tell ya...this kid right here, he's got guts. This kid, the one right here, number fifty...he's rough, he's tough, he likes snuff, and it's never enough with this guy...."


"man, this is ONE......TOUGH......GUY....right here....spending time around that guy, those were some good times...."


SHUT THE FUCK UP, JOHN GRUDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I like Gruden a lot, but last night he had me begging for a team of Tony Kornheiser and Dennis Miller.

:-(

Lost another one of my uncles this weekend, the second to have fought on the beaches of France in 1944. He drove supply trucks for the Army.


Was a really gracious and nice person.
