I continue to be envious of people had/have families that are parts of their everyday lives. My sisters and I reach out to each other every now and then, but it just fades away in a fog of "Well, we never really talked to each other when we lived in the same house, how does this work?"

Hubby called his mother regularly, and he calls his sister about once a month. I'm sorry me and mine missed out on the instant friend/ally thing.

I do think that when you are in more regular contact with someone that it builds on itself and you develop more stuff to talk about.

You're also more immediately present in their mind, so the impulse to call/talk/share pops up a lot more regularly.

Pat Robertson may have kicked it off, but nobody can set the bar for assholes like Rush.

Limbaugh: Obama will use Haiti to boost credibility with ‘dark-skinned’

Rush Limbaugh tells America not to donate to Haiti

I believe he also complained that it took longer for Obama to respond to the Underwear Bomber than the Earthquake. I have a hard time understanding how those minds work.

I know I shouldn't pay attention, but how does this dude get sponsors?

how does this dude get sponsors?

There's a lot of ignorant hateful bigots out there.

I have a hard time understanding how those minds work.

Well, helping people is wrong. People should help themselves. If they were responsible they wouldn't have built those shabby buildings and been so poor. Also those people are black so Obama is only doing it in a transparent bid to bolster his standing with the black vote and the bleeding hearts.

As for the crotch bomber, defending America from its foes is the only important thing that the Federal Government does. Ideally it should do this with very cozy and expensive contracts with the defense industry. He's weak on terrorism.

Now do you understand?

how does this dude get sponsors?

He gets listeners.

Now, how he gets listeners is beyond me.

Sometimes, it really feels like the Josie and the Pussycats movie was a thinly-veiled warning. I'ma start checking people for cat-ear headphones and saying things like, "Rush Limbaugh is the greatest! And he's so thin!"

Oh how I wish Hec were exaggerating, instead of underplaying.

It has been observed by a man more erudite than me that Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.
