      3. A first grade teacher explains to her class that she’s a (your team) fan and asks her students to raise their hands if they’re (your team) fans, too. Not really knowing what a (your team) fan is but wanting to be just like their teacher, the students raise hands into the air. Not MADCO.

         The teacher asks MADCO “Why no hand.” “Because I’m a Cubs fan,” MADCO says.

         The teacher asks little MADCO why she’s a Cubs fan. “Well, my mom and dad are Cubs fans, so I’m a Cubs fan, too.”

         “That’s no reason!” the teacher says loudly. “What if your mom was a hooker, and your dad was a drug addict. What would you be then?”

         “Well that’s easy” says MADCO, “I’d be a (your team) fan.”

3. I think there has been this insidious subculture of fear and hate that has been going on for years.  It took electing a black Democrat President, recognizing we have a growing Hispanic community and  the gay marriage debate (among many other things) in the last four years for the dam to break.   The war on women is a natural by-product of the pro-life movement that had been held in check by moderate Republicans and most Democrats since Roe-Wade.  Never mind that the depression we are coming out of was started by a President who wanted to fight two wars simultaneously while lowering taxes on the rich and famous.  

   The depression, according to these neocons (Christians?), is because “we lost our way” on all of the above under Obama.

   1. Heard “Barking Head” applied to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly for the first time today (although apparently the term has been around a while).

      To me, that sounds appropriately dismissive to indicate that their influence with the public is on the wane.

      1. Earlier this week, Cumulus Media sent out an email blast to fellow radio station owners with a photoshopped picture of former U.S. Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, promoting him as the conservative talk radio host of the future.

         This is going to set up an interesting rivalry in some markets and in some cases where Rush airs on Cumulous all they have to do is not renew his contract.
         

         They are going after Rush’s affiliates,” said one radio company executive who received Cumulus’ email and spoke on condition of anonymity. “They are positioning Huckabee as the safe, non-dangerous alternative to Rush and saying to station owners, ‘If you are looking for conservative content, we want you to consider our guy instead of theirs.'”

         Let the competition begin – at least Huckabee for all his conservative creds doesn’t go out of his way to insult, malign a persons character.

         1. If Huckabee is successful in displacing Rush in some markets, that would be a good step towards offering a forum for more respectful discourse, which has been sadly absent for about the last 30 years.

            Rush, et al, with their stock-in-trade hate and disinformation, will always have an audience.  But if they are reduced to a dark, dank corner to spew their bilious commentary instead of the town square, perhaps it will leave room for common sense to make its long overdue return.

4. What kind of mood must you be in now after reciting this pathetic litany?

   MADCOw, you need a (green) beer!

5. E-mail this to my right-wing-nut relatives who are completely averse and immune to logic?

   I hope that is one immunity that is not genetic.
