Well I guess people didn’t like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s response to President Obama’s address last night to a joint session of Congress, at least that’s what I hear. People seemed to think that there was something lacking in his style or his presentation. Now I watched most of Gov. Jindal’s response last night, until I grew bored with the repetition of tired themes like walking to school in a Louisiana blizzard ten miles uphill both ways with a bucket of milk from the family farm in one hand and a basket of eggs in the other, to pay the tuition for his private education because his family refused to accept a handout from the public schools. I finally turned it off and went to bed, knowing that the liberal media would fill me in in the morning.
One person has stood by Bobby Jindal, though. Good old Rush, he knows a good Republican when he sees one. Bobby is colorful and young and has that je ne sais quoi about him that just might be the thing to bring the party Rushing back. I love a good logical argument, devoid of ad hominem attacks. You can always count on Rush to be precise, logical and factual. Give him a listen, you might learn something.
P.S. Another defender of the good Governor is my good conservative friend Jon Swift.

Clearly I missed all the hullabaloo about Jindal.
I must say, I have always disliked Rush; it may have something to do with the phenomenal hypocrisy in demanding drug users be deported, all the while illegally obtaining and consuming massive amounts of prescription pain killers…but, hey, that’s just me.
Whenever public figures start chatting about ‘No atheists in foxholes’ or ‘No atheists in crashing planes’ or what-have-you, there always seems to be some sort of a backlash from the atheist community. Then again, there seems to be perpetual backlash with regards to Rush, so perhaps it will barely make a ripple.

Rush is an interesting man.
I ran the SEMO University Food Service back in the early 90’s in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Before that The Cape was a big running grounds for me in my teenage years because of the Universities there. (girls of course)
I got to spend a few nights of conversations with Rush at Doc’s Place down of the riverfront by the seawall in Cape Girardeau. Back when hotwings became the craze.
The good – ol – days!
Rush is OK, he has had his problems but then we all have.
I like him.

Ah the pig boy. Perfect example of an overweight Amierikan Taliban member.
