Just when I start to like the guy again, he acts like a jerk, gleeful at the idea that Trump is your typical politician.

Hey, Rush? He’s not.

Appears we have another Republican who worships at the temple of crony capitalism.

The last one was for cataracts but the other 3 were to repair torn eye muscles. I have had terrific surgeons. Let me tell you what the first surgeon did. When I went in for my first checkup, I was told to go back so her technician could put drops in to deaden my eye. I did not understand but did as I was told. The surgeon came in, got her tweezers and stretched my eye muscles. At my last checkup, she said I had been her best patient because I had not moved during those checkups. I thought to myself, “people actually move with tweezers in their eyes. Not this gal.” I am doing great. I see my regular eye dr Tuesday for another checkup. God bless.

Wolfowitz may live to see the election of Chelsea Clinton or Moochelle Obama as POTUS. There will not be another Republican president if the Hldebeest wins. The beest and the 0bamantion will see to that by opening the borders wide!

I think Rush thinks if Hillary wins it will be good for his business.

Same goes for that blowhard, Levin.

Interesting summary of Wolfowitz’s Arab girlfriend and ethics violations at the World Bank. He and Crooked Hil sound like two peas in a pod.

I’m so glad it worked out for you.

I think it is over for Rush.
I was a listener since I found him looking for Gulf War news in 1990.
I don’t listen much anymore.
I happened to be off today and tuned in and sure enough he was pushing the Ministry of Propaganda meme about Trump flip-flopping on immigration.
At one time I thought he was on our side.

I know. Very annoying. And anti-American, Rush. We only have one candidate, Rush.

I agree!

Hey, you guys! You cheered me up enormously with your remarks. When I was on the Rush thread today I thought I was the only one who “cared” or was interested in what our so-called Conservative leaders were saying. Obviously, I was wrong. Even worse, there was a troll on the thread who told me Rush was brilliant today and I had “an agenda.” Yes, my agenda is to restore America to its greatness. The greatness I experienced in my youth and that I want future generations to experience.

Maybe God bless you and hope you all have a lovely weekend!

One other tidbit of some interest perhaps, in my trip down memory lane, was when I was young and living in Chicago in the New Town area during the latter part of the 60’s. I was working at the time for the Chicago Defender’s Office on the Appeals level, and our office was located very near the relatively new Federal Building downtown, where I would park my bike on their bike rack. (I used to bike to work frequently during the summer months, going down the walkway located right along Lake Michigan; such a beautiful ride.

The Federal Building also had a cafeteria in it where the food was actually quite good. Periodically I would go there for lunch. On one of those days I was there eating lunch, lo and behold sitting right across the long table that I sat down at, was Abbie Hoffman, of “The Chicago Seven” fame*. He was on trial with his cohorts at the time, on charges listed below in the WIKI bleep I have posted below about the trial.

He started to chat me up (in my younger days, I wasn’t a bad looker) and we talked for the entire hour I was there. He was very intelligent, but rather ugly face-wise. Later in his life, when he had some cosmetic surgery done and had his teeth fixed (had really bad teeth) he was much better looking. He asked if I wanted to get together, but I declined (said I already had a boyfriend). I guess that is my one brush with infamy.

Oh, had one other sort of one, in that a Chicago Italian Mafia member whom I ran into when walking to my car one night about a year before I retired from working at UIC (Univ. of IL at Chicago) became a friend, sort of. Between where I parked and the building I worked in on campus, there was a little patch of green field with a running path around it, and I struck up my bit of a friendship with Mafia man there. I found out he was Mafia when he told me his name and I tripped across an article in the Chicago newspaper about him. I’m trying to remember his name (he had been written about in the Chicago newspapers at that time because he had been involved in a major spat (and fist fight) with a fellow old Mafia guy in the Hood who was trying to get my Mafia “friend” put out of business in order to acquire the land under his lemonade stand located on the main business drag of the old “Little Italy” right next to campus (Taylor Avenue). He had a thriving stand with marvelous Italian Ice; the Chicago cops used to frequent it, and everyone got away with double parking momentarily to run over and get their Italian Ice. That stand was a real gold mine.

I was walking slowly to my car because of bad knees at the time, and he was very sympathetic as he had recently had knee surgery himself. He would walk the running path with his grandson for exercise late in the day as he lived nearby and his Italian Ice stand was down the street from my building that was located at the corner of Taylor and Morgan Streets. We would talk when I ran into him periodically just as I was leaving work for the day.

He was very very nice, but I wouldn’t want to have crossed him. I forgot his name now, but I’m going to see if I can find one of the newspaper articles about him again. Carol Marin, a locally well known newspaper/TV anchor woman was quasi friends with him, and would write articles favorable to him about his fight with the other neighborhood Mafia Don.

I loved the old Italian neighborhood. Would get Italian subs from Fontano’s, a well known grocery store down the street with a Deli in the back where you could buy sandwiches, freshly made. The old men would pitch pennies on the sidewalks and there were still all men Italian private clubs where the locals would congregate. Wonderful Italian restaurants. One, Tuscany’s, a relatively new one at the time and right around the corner from where I worked, was frequented by Mayor Richard Daley the Younger, with some regularity. Had an open wood oven where they would make pizza and chicken. The food was delicious. But I digress.

Chicago, minus the gangs, is such a wonderful, historical City with great ethnic neighborhoods. A food lover’s dream. Too bad it gets such a bad rap now because of all of the gang violence. When I worked there it was still relatively safe. There was a park with a big statue of the now not PC Columbus, perched in a fountain where I would go to eat my lunch periodically. On the other side was where the Black neighborhoods began. There was an uneasy truce between the Blacks and the Italians, and as many Mafia types lived nearby; the Blacks never fooled around with the local Italians, as they knew it would not be good for their physical well being. Well, there I go again, more digressing. Off with me!

The Chicago Seven (originally Chicago Eight, also Conspiracy Eight/Conspiracy Seven) were seven defendants—Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, and Lee Weiner—charged by the federal government with conspiracy, inciting to riot, and other charges related to anti-Vietnam War and countercultural protests that took place in Chicago, Illinois, on the occasion of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

I do, too.
However, when I hear Beethoven’s “ode an die freude” I want to violently disgorge the contents of my stomach.

Nauseating!
