The word is and was "farding". I don't recall the context, but I am sure it was making a point, like illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
And the condom bit was reliving his condom updates from the past, which was to illustrate the folly of promoting the use of condoms as a cure all.
You should listen to Rush for more than a week before you start posting vanities about him or anyone else.
I have to agree that the author sounds more interested in joining the crowded ranks of those who think their opinion is so enlightened that they think others are not only interested, but will not notice whether they know what they're talking about or not.
Although other amateurs have taken advantage of this forum as their personal op-ed opportunity over the years, if I were a Moderator serving Jim Robinson's interests I'd tell you to start a blog on your own dime if you want to editorialize your opinions.
"You should listen to Rush for more than a week before you start posting vanities about him or anyone else."
Oh come on, it's you who must not have been listening all these years. Rush with some frequency makes sexual innuendos. He gets off on it. It's clever repartee and play on words. Now, some will be offended and some won't. I love Rush and it doesn't make any difference to me as some of these "dirty" comments are also funny. Although occasionally he verges on being a bit obscene. I can see where some would be offended by this, but then they can use their finger to push the off button on their radio. But don't pretend that Rush doesn't make the periodical sexual comment because he does. But it is such a minute part of his schtick as to be totally unimportant in the scheme of things.
As I recall, "FARDing" had something to do with the alleged tendency of women to apply makeup or otherwise groom themselves while driving. Usually when he gets on this kind of a kick, it's in response to some silly study or news report; he takes the words of others and replays them in a clever way. Some of these folks didn't listen to him long enough to know the origins of the comments. Some of them still think Spatula City is a real store.
