Since I started working from eight till noon, I get the chance to listen to Rush on the way home from work.  So far I've learned quite a few interesting things this week.

a. John Edwards says it was awful when he was poor and he had to go into restaurants with his family and then leave because they couldn't afford anything.  Sobsob.  As Rush pointed out, wouldn't you know what restaurants around your house you could afford before you went in there?

b. There's some sort of motion on the dem front to make arrangements for abortions to be covered by a woman's health insurance.  Now even if you are pro-choice, this is just ridiculous.

c. There's an initiative to put a tax on cigars (and cigarettes?) that will fund poor children's health insurance.  Then Rush indicated that according to this initiative, the definition of "child" goes up to twenty-five years old.  EXCUSE ME!?


Another thing, Rush believes that in order for Harry "Dingy Harry" Reed and the rest of the loonies to pull the troops out of Iraq, there has to be an agreement with the tv media that every time an image of Al Qaeda pillaging villages, murdering people, rioting, etc, the screen must be split in half and show Dingy Harry and the loonies smiling and congratulating themselves.

These are my right-wing thoughts of the day.  Feel free to dispute.
