The
Persistence of Memory
 You
probably don't realize this but the
Rush Limbaugh Show is given to radio stations
to play for free.
That's right, free.
In exchange, the stations
have to devote several minutes during breaks in the
show to national advertising, the revenue of which
mostly
funnels directly into Rush's pockets.
Today Premier Networks, Limbaugh's syndicator, told
its affiliate stations that they would be suspending national
ads for
two weeks, so the resultant dead air during his show
is now the local stations problem to deal with.
Two weeks is an odd number to pull out of a hat but,
as likely as not, it's the bean-counters was of saying
"You morons out there are incapable of sustaining
disgust for anything for more than two weeks."
Wanna bet?
The oddest thing to result from this debacle is that,
for now anyway, I have more national ads on this web
site than Rush has on his radio program. <Grin>.

 Many
newspapers have chosen to censor or remove this week's Doonesbury cartoon
from the comics pages as it had the audacity to satirize
the new and onerous abortion
laws being rammed down our throats by overzealous
Republicans nimrods.
If
you haven't seen the comics yet here are some handy-dandy
links:

Note 2: While we're playing "Dog-Pile
On Rush Limbaugh" how about a few examples
of his habitual
dishonesty?
Note 3: If all of the people arrested
on drug charges refused to accept plea
bargains it
would crash the legal system. I LIKE that idea!
Note 4: The pink tabs are
for murder, purple for human or animal sacrifice,
blue for rape,
yellow

House is in another recess until
Tuesday, the 20th of March. (The GOP wrote this schedule.
It was designed to ensure that as little legislation
would
get done as possible.)
