I'm not so certain he does it piss off the libs, although I have no

about Apple. Rush has been an Apple user for quite a long time, and
is a bit of a techno geek himself.

He's not a moron. His money is being made by feeding a segment of the
population the stories and opinions they already believe. He is quite
good at it.
I don't listen to him very often, and certainly no more than other radio
yakkers on both sides of the fence. But if you do listen to them, it is
easy to see how they all do 'research'.
Basically form the opinion and then look for those things that only
support that opinion. It works even if the 'research' is bogus.

Zune never was profitable. Microsoft clearly isn't growing as fast
as it used to - and someday Apple's growth rate will slow down as
well.
But a quick Google puts some doubt to your first statement.
It will be interesting to see how the gaming market goes with
Microsoft competing with Wii, and now people such as the producer of
Angry Birds saying the console game machine won't be able to compete

100 at any one time, anyway.
"Idiot" was good, but not nearly as funny as "Why Not Me?," the
(obviously) fictional account of Franken's bid for the 2000 Presidential
election, running on a populist platform calling for the elimination of
ATM fees, and the dirty tricks he employs to beat his competitors in the
primaries (e.g. hiring actors dressed as drag queens to waive "Gays For
Gore" signs at Gore's rallies in the deep South.)
It was a clever satire leveled at both parties and, of course, the system
itself. Even two of my conservative friends that I turned on to "Why Not
Me?" found it funny, despite an initial resistance to reading it because
of who wrote it. (I lent them my copy so they didn't have to put money
in an "enemy's" pocket! That, and I had to read Limbaugh's "The Way
Things Are" in a complicated arms-for-hostages reading negotiation!)

I think everyone with half a brain picked up on the apples and oranges
comparison that was made and how historically absurd it is.
If it really only included the colonies, then it wasn't even an accurate
accounting of the entire United States when it's first president was
innagurated.

The problem is that he tries to be all things to all people, all other
countries, foreign leaders/heads of state.
The only thing is, he comes off as a panderer with little or no real
respect, and just like Jimmy Carter, he also comes off weak. The man
has a broken moral compass, or a compass that seems to be spinning

Yeah, it really is funny when one side or the other accuses the other
one of using talking points.
On a recent road trip, I switched back and forth between the

Really? And just what is it about the ideology is it that destroys the
country any where _near_ as effectively as the Obama/Pelosi/Reid
agenda has after pushing the biggest piece of shit healthcare crap
through the way they did, and ran the national debt up in two years
what it took Georgie Bush _EIGHT_ to do, all the while Obama is
whining about the so called 'mess he intereted from his predecessor'?
How the F*CK do you dig yourself out of a hole by digging a DEEPER
hole, firing up the old printing press, devaluing your currency

Riiight. If you bring up the Trilateral Commission or the Illuminati,
I'm outta here! ;)
[Why is it that conservative think-tanks are just think-tanks, yet
progressive think-tanks are secret societies bent on world domination
like the evil organization in some pulp spy-thriller?]
Agreed. Sadly it seems the only way to get ratings is to pander to those
who already agree with you, rather than engage in thoughtful dialog and
try to sway to undecided audience.
There's a guy on Air America Radio in the afternoon called Ed Schultz,
(at least there was the last time I tuned in) who I swear must have
attended and earned top honors at The Rush Limbaugh School of Broadcasting.
His inflections, the pauses, the repetitions of key talking points, and
even the little high-pitched crack in his voice when expressing the
appropriate amount of Mock Incredulity at whatever the Forces of the
Ungodly are up to today, are just a twisted funhouse mirror image of
Limbaugh's delivery. Someone who didn't speak English would have a very
hard time telling them apart!
Fault Limbaugh all you like (and I certainly do!) but he's a master at
his chosen profession and is worth whatever they're paying him.

Nice screed... :)
If you believe that either Rep or Dems give a shit about the common man,
you haven't been keeping up. They are both doing what their corporate
masters have bribe... uh, donated to their campaigns, want them to do.

.... nor does it even come close to addressing real cost driving

So you admit then that Obama's administration is the _current_
perpetuator of the problem?

Ah - the old Rahm Emmanuel "never waste a good crisis" argument, eh?
Or Obama's "We _had_ to do this because of the mess we inherited"
claim, huh. And of course, this whole mess was caused entirely by
'right wingnuts', and _no_ libtards were tools of a progressive agenda
in any of this, huh? Lessee: Barney Frank (and lover) nd Sen. Chris
Dodd practically causing the mortgage meltdown crisis at FNMA and
Freddie Mac (justy for starters - I could go on.)

Uh, I was referring to the San Fran-sicko Senator Nancy Pelosi...
Y'know, the former 'Sniveler of the House' with a really big house
gavel...

And just how are they 'fucking' me in the ass? They're occasional
_entertainment'_ - informative entertainment, but nothing more.
Besides, they aren't fucking >me< in the ass so much as the agenda of
libtard radio wannabes who keep trying and >failing< to duplicate the
success of an industry model that they and Mr. Ailes _built_ and
_dominate_. As an Apple product user, you should appreciate that the
parallels are practically microcosmic. (Ironic, since 'Libby' Jobs has
divinely blessed Rupert Murdoch's 'The Daily' iPaD app, no?)
I'll bet you, like all libtards' either haven't or don't listen to
enough of those guys to even know what or why you all rail against
them so much. What amazes me is the self important smugness and
arrogant condescending and self righteousnes
of libtards making whiny claims that a vast army of 'lil ole ig'nert
hillbilly' listewner/viewers are *soo* manipulated by the 'vast'
empire of Murdoch & Co., even though they're outnumbered by the
leftist influenced media outlets by a factor better than 4:1.
Talk about 'crocodile tears'...

So liberal dems like Chis Dodd, Barney Frank pushing their 'give bad
mortgages to idiots who are dumb to afford them' agenda on banks had
nothing to do with starting the mortgage meltdown crisis, huh?
I guess Georgie's additional debt run-up justifies the Obama's debt
run-up by a factor of better than 3:1 in the same time-frame.
Gee, that's kind of like cutting a finger, and the doctor telling you
you have to amputate, no?
