Rush is a moron
-snip-
We begin with a story that seems especially appropriate this week.

The salesman who is selling Frank a new car says: "This car radio has the very latest feature. It is entirely voice-activated. You simply tell it what you want to listen to, and the station changes. It's a great safety feature, because you never have to take your hands off the wheel to touch the dials."

With his new car and new car radio, Frank is driving down the highway. He says, "Classical," and, in an instant, on comes an FM station playing Beethoven. Next, Frank says, "Country and western," and the songs of Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn fill the car.

Just then, a guy in a fancy sports car runs a stop sign and cuts Frank off, almost forcing him off the road. "Moron," mutters Frank at the offending driver -- and the radio station switches to Rush Limbaugh.

2. I wonder if Clarence Thomas
still listens to Rushie each day. They are supposedly friends. What a twisted relationship that's got to be.

Actual title:

Rush Limbaugh does not understand American sports
Monday, October 6, 2003 Posted: 10:48 AM EDT (1448 GMT)

WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- We begin with a story that seems especially appropriate this week.

The salesman who is selling Frank a new car says: "This car radio has the very latest feature. It is entirely voice-activated. You simply tell it what you want to listen to, and the station changes. It's a great safety feature, because you never have to take your hands off the wheel to touch the dials."

With his new car and new car radio, Frank is driving down the highway. He says, "Classical," and, in an instant, on comes an FM station playing Beethoven. Next, Frank says, "Country and western," and the songs of Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn fill the car.

Just then, a guy in a fancy sports car runs a stop sign and cuts Frank off, almost forcing him off the road. "Moron," mutters Frank at the offending driver -- and the radio station switches to Rush Limbaugh.

4. You really should be more specific in your header - as my friend says
"So what's your point?"

5. And when the driver says "Damn liberal media"
the radio goes into an infinite loop, trying to fulfill the request.

Driver has to end up returning the car, because he can't even shut down the engine.
