    Gone.

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                              A man I've never met (or, to be honest, listened to), dies.

                              Lots of people I've never met get very excited.

                              Lots of other people I've never met get very angry about the people I've never met getting very excited.

                              My dog needs walking. I think I might do that. It's a bit chilly out, but it's quite sunny.

                              I was only joking

                                Typical. LOL. Word choice depends on what tribe you belong to. News ain’t what it used to be, but on this one their portrayal is fairly accurate.

                                  I think that's doing him a kindness. Those photos were taken before he became such a polarizing nutter.

                                  ...and no, I don't think that's out of line to say. His passing doesn't make me a terrible person for believing he had a lot more professional integrity earlier on in his career.

                                    1993 was the first time I ever heard of Rush. He actually opened my eyes a bit as he pointed out all of the clips of Clinton campaign claims against Bush, and then how Clinton actually contradicted his own campaign claims during his inauguration. He played the clips and proved it beyond a doubt. While I never cared for his persona, he did get me to start paying more attention to the lies and hypocrisy on the left.

                                      I've never understood Talk Radio.

                                      Maybe you have to grow up here to really appreciate it, like the NFL and American Cheese Product and Mocha Frappuccino , and concord grapes.

                                      I've come to the conclusion that I'm never going to fit in here.

                                          @horace said in RIP Rush.:

                                          Talk Radio is podcasts. What's not to understand?

                                          Why people listen to it.

                                          I was only joking
