Interpretation of Dreams: What Does Rush's Dream Mean?

TresSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:30:00 -0700

It's happened to us all. We're hanging out by the water cooler and a coworker suddenly comes around and says - "I had the strangest dream last night . . ."

I try to avoid ever doing this to anyone but my closest friends. Why? Because sometimes you are revealing more than you want - or know. Dreams, after all, are "the royal road to the unconscious," as Freud said.

Take the following dream. I was totally baffled when I heard Rush Limbaugh tell his radio listeners about a recent dream he had about our Commander in Chief:

"I had a dream that I was a slave building a sphinx in a desert that looked like Obama."

Crazy, baby! I have my theories about what this dream signifies. What do you think it means? If you want a clue, check out a recording of what he says beforehand. Just read more.

Say What? Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks Smack About Rush

"Well I think that they say that Rush Limbaugh is the 800 lb. gorilla in the Republican Party. But I think that's mean-spirited to say that - because I think he's down to 650 lbs. I think one should be fair to him about this whole thing."

On CNN yesterday, the Republican governor of California sounded a bit like Rush-hater Keith Olbermann. Anyone think Arnold might switch parties soon? Who could be surprised? He's married to a Kennedy, after all.

If You Had To. . .

Who would you knock Republican boots with? Samuel Wurzelbacher aka "Joe the Plumber" (shown here in a Snuggie!) or Rush "I hope this nation goes down in flames" Limbaugh? (Stay tuned for the Democratic version of "If You Had To...")

Leave Rush Aloooone!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Poor Rush Limbaugh. The Democrats are anointing him the true leader of the Republican Party, opening him to ridicule from the left and repudiation from the right. So this dude stepped in to save the frail and demure flower that is Rush, borrowing a page from Chris Crocker's impassioned and hysterical plea for us to "Leave Britney alone!" I wonder if it will work.

Democrats Engage Rush Limbaugh - Smart or Foolish?

CitizenSugar — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:00:54 -0800

Whether you love him or hate him, Rush Limbaugh has been dominating the news cycle. Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel fired the first shot in the latest battle this weekend, calling out Rush as the head of the Republican party.

When it came to the surface that RNC chair Michael Steele criticized Rush as an incendiary "entertainer" Steele quickly apologized to Rush, just like Rahm had dictated. For a second it seemed like Rahm was the head of the Republican party!

But some progressives say the "brilliant" strategy of elevating Rush serves Rush, and the GOP. A former adviser to Hillary Clinton wrote in the Huffington Post yesterday:

The idea that making him more powerful in the hopes that it somehow illustrates the weakness of GOP ideas is too Rube Golbergy for me. Why not just conceive and implement smart, good, Dem policy, use Bush as a constant reminder of Republican failures, and let the results speak for themselves?

While some think it's smart for the Democrats to equate the GOP with extreme voices like Limbaugh, others think the White House's attention has elevated the stature of poisonous political discourse. If you're a Democrat this might not be the best thing, since Republicans could use an influential Limbaugh to do their "dirty work."

Rush Limbaugh Picks a Fight With Fellow Republicans

CitizenSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:30:03 -0800

Earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh taunted the Republican leadership, contending that President Obama had more to fear from Rush, than from them. In an interview with Politico, Congressman Tom Price, who leads the Republican Study Committee, came back with some tough words for Rush:

It’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party. You know you’re just on these talk shows and you’re living well and plus you stir up a bit of controversy and gin the base and that sort of that thing. But when it comes to true leadership, not that these people couldn’t be or wouldn’t be good leaders, they’re not in that position of John Boehner or Mitch McConnell.

Despite the back and forth between Republican hot shots, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell believes that one big-named Republican's absence from the national stage will help the party in 2010. McConnell said yesterday: "We wish the president, President Bush well, but, frankly, we will not have to be carrying that sort of political burden that we carried the last two elections."

Do you think shunning Rush could help the GOP make the comeback, or is he crucial to the party's success?

Surprise! Barbara Walters Finds Obama Most Fascinating

LibertySugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:30:00 -0800

President-elect Barack Obama has topped Barbara Walters's list of the Most Fascinating People of 2008. The ABC special aired last night, and last year the honor of Most Fascinating Person went to Harry Potter author JK Rowling. While many people probably agree that Obama is the most fascinating figure of the year, it's somewhat surprising that his opponent John McCain did not make the list.

The complete list includes:

Barack Obama
Tom Cruise
Sarah Palin
Frank Langella
Thomas Beatie
Rush Limbaugh
Tina Fey
Miley Cyrus
Michael Phelps
Will Smith

Do you find the people on this list fascinating? Anyone you'd like to sub in?

Should Stations Be Required to Present Diverse Viewpoints?

LibertySugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:00:47 -0700

The House of Representatives will most likely not debate a Republican proposed bill to outlaw the "Fairness Doctrine." The FCC stopped using the Fairness Doctrine, which attempted to ensure equal airtime for different perspectives on controversial issues, during the Reagan Administration. Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Tuesday that Democrats would rather revive the federal policy of forced evenhandedness.

Critics of the Fairness Doctrine argue that it violates the First Amendment. Instead of facilitating complex debates, equal opportunity resulted in no opportunity for controversial discussions. Some of Speaker Pelosi's opponents worry that if the doctrine is revived, this chilling effect would extend to commentators like Rush Limbaugh. Small stations, which cannot afford a counter to Rush, would simply not talk about tough issues.

Should the Fairness Doctrine be put to rest, as there surely is no lack of space in the radio and cable television sphere? Can we rely on the viewers to judge a station's bias - and how bias is too bias?

Texas Republicans Vote for Clinton - Good Strategy?

LibertySugar — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:30:49 -0800

Not sure if you caught The Notion link in Link Time about Rush Limbaugh's master plan to help Republicans win. The conservative radio personality urged Texas Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary. On Tuesday night, Rush told Fox News:

They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It is fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses.

I've heard accounts from Texas poll workers, who say Republicans in fact voted for Clinton. One Texan Republican, turned Hillary "supporter," wanted her vote to count, but was angered by the big "Democrat" stamp placed on her ballot. You can't have your spoiler and eat it, too!

The Dems have tried this trick before. DailyKos.com urged Michigan Dems to vote for Mitt Romney. What do you think about Rush's strategy? Are the Republicans benefiting from a drawn-out Democratic primary?
