Unbelievable But True: Rush Limbaugh Has Died (Long Live Rush Limbaugh)

El Rushbo, as the #1 Political Educator of the United States, ever, was - easily - the second most important figure in modern American politics (after the election of President Donald J. Trump thrust him into the top spot) and it's guaranteed that millions of Americans will, gladly, carry his legacy of Happy-Warrior Conservatism far into the nation's future. No one made politics as Punk Rock as Rush.

RIP - and Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

OOOOOPS! White Plantation Mistresses Are Not Happy With The Darkies (And Decide We're What's For Dinner)

From Salon - it's Miss Ann:

Annie Lennox found an effective way to get mass media attention while promoting her latest album: dis Beyoncé, mention twerking.

And from Ann It's-Time-To-Panic Althouse

  "Rush Limbaugh calls my name... and calls out Obama for woman-kissing and other possible sexism."

I love the charge - "possible" sexism:

I guess she had to grasp at something after bogusly trying to spread mass terror over Drudge's ebola nonsense - when, I note, she didn't mind being manipulated into being that white man's bitch - or being used as Limbaugh's racist prop.

The Conservative Answer To Everything (SQUIRREL!!!)

Whether American or English, catch a conservative in the act of being "idiots" and you'll make good money - betting he or she demands you forget their actions, and start helping them with their opponents.

 They consider saying that as "taking responsibility"…

Can anyone else tell I'm getting tired of blogging?

I'm getting tired of blogging.

The daily grind, anyway.

I've explained TMR's interests and outlook a billion times, and it does no good, so - since you're all so happy with Glenn Reynolds' precognitions and I don't feel like doing it again - I'm happy to know I'm right and just let the cards fall where they may:

"There are not enough Tea Party people, not enough libertarian people, not enough socially conservative people to win a Republican nomination, by definition. Anyone who comes from one of those traditions must expand beyond that tradition to win."

And to "expand beyond that tradition" must mean some of that "rethinking in other areas” Mickey Kaus was talking about.

Or not.

You never know with the Get-off-The-Democrat-Plantation crew.

I don't anyway.

Even our hero, Hammering Hank Aaron, tells them they're racists and they didn't get a clue, so what does that tell you?

Jenny McCarthy says "I am not 'anti-vaccine'” after years of being anti-vaccine - is that any different from the "colorblind" Republicans who can't stop doing and saying racist things?

I can't see it.

It's all cultism to me now - herd mentality - call it what you want.

A woman told me acupuncture is an ancient practice yesterday.

I let her talk.

This morning another woman attacked me over recycling.

I apologized for upsetting her.

Most major hospitals have mainstreamed my wife's beliefs - what am I going to do, blog about the idiocy I see - some more?

It's so widespread I'll never do anything else.

 

 But now I am doing something else.

 

Tomorrow is another edition of Uncle Ray's Psychedelic Soul, where he and I will be counting down his Top 100 Psychedelic Soul Albums and discussing whatever he may decide to throw at me.

(He's indicated Hank Aaron WILL be a topic,…)

Feel free to tune in, call in, catch up, make trouble:

In case you haven't noticed, I've honestly stopped giving a damn,…

Crazy Glenn Beck To Oprah Winfrey: You Disgust Me!!!

This is a pretty (unintentionally) funny clip of Glenn Beck bemoaning the fact that, though Oprah's accomplished, she's still  aware of race as an issue to be dealt with. As though one person's accomplishments are shared by the group, or mean the others have the same chance, when that just isn't so. 

And for a white guy - a member of a cult that just admitted it was racist to blacks, for over a century, and well into the 20th - to think he can dictate what opportunities are out there, for blacks, puts him right square in the "jerk" column where so many blacks already think he belongs. 

I used to listen to Beck on the radio, before he went God crazy and was doing more comedy, but I never really warmed to him. His lessons on history could be revealing, but it was never black history. Not what I heard anyway. That was an obvious "tell". 

It's always an obvious "tell". Glenn Beck doesn't see race, you see. Glenn Beck ignores the most obvious part of black's political identity, so he can try and sell us his own, and it won't work. We're not, and don't want to be, part of Glenn Beck's goofy LDS "America". We're making another one, and him, his cult - and his "disgust" - be damned.

Especially because, I don't know about you, but it sounds to me like somebody's ready to start hitting the bottle again,…

A White GOP Senator From Wisconsin (!) Steps UP!!!

Play that funky music, white boy!

I was almost ready to think whites, Wisconsin, and Republicans were lost - Rand Paul, pay attention - and not to Rick Perry's "nigger stone":

During a filibuster-style radio interview in Milwaukee Friday, senior Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner (Wisconsin) charged that the State of Texas as a whole had a tendency to discriminate against minority voters and should be placed back under Holder Justice Department supervision thanks to his proposed legislation.

After the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act—a policy that held a number of southern states like Texas and other jurisdictions structurally discriminatory toward minorities until proven otherwise—Rep. Sensenbrenner vowed to revive the law.

I never would've guessed Uncle Tom was a doctor. 

 BTW, It should be noted who HASN'T said anything of the kind,…

 

Call Mr. Snerdley: Rush Got Pwned On 12 Years A Slave

“If it was the only thing that movie won, it was gonna win best picture. There was no way. It didn’t matter if it was good or bad. I haven’t seen it. It was going to win. It had the magic word in the title. Slave.”

“There are 200 movies and TV episodes with 'slave' in the title, according to IMDB. How many of those have won Best Picture — or an Emmy for that matter? One."

I Think We Might Need A New Name For This Country

The rapper Angel Haze grew up in a religious community in Michigan that she’s since described as a "cult," and the first secular music she ever heard was on the radio at age 16 in Virginia.

"He’s A Doctor? Not A Medical Doctor, But Still,..."

"Don’t get a flu shot, warns conservative talk show host Michael Savage, because you just can’t trust the government."

The Good Parts Of Slavery

Conservative firebrand Sean Hannity unleashed another volley of racially charged polemic on his radio show Thursday morning, this time targeting the critically acclaimed drama “12 Years a Slave.” Hannity called the film, which recounts the true story of a free slave, Solomon Northup, who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841, “a sham” and “nothing more than an attempt to exploit white guilt and divide America.”

Director Steve McQueen’s historical drama has been lauded by critics for its unflinching portrayal of slavery’s horrors and drawn equal praise from filmgoers. Those who caught the film in its limited release last weekend assigned it an average grade of A, according to market research firm CinemaScore.

But Hannity encouraged his loyal supporters to “avoid falling into the liberal trap of a slavery guilt trip” as the film heads for wide release this weekend. “Seriously, how long has it been? How many times can you keep bringing [slavery] up after 150 years?” Hannity admitted that he has not seen the film, but said he could “tell that it draws out and exaggerates the bad parts of slavery the way only Hollywood can.”

“The only thing another slavery movie does, on top of pitting blacks against whites, is enable a minority culture of laziness and excuses. Maybe they should make a movie about black students who run away from hard work and responsibility. Call it ‘12 Years in School.’...”

I Deserve Racial Advice From Cody And Trooper York

Knowing there are no victims makes this easier to witness:

DENVER - Rep. Doug Lamborn's office says the Colorado Republican regrets any misunderstanding over his comments on a Denver-based radio show.

Lamborn spoke to KHOW-AM Friday. He was responding to comments about whom voters would hold responsible for actions on the nation's debt ceiling when he said he thought voters would blame the president. Lamborn said: "Now I don't want to even have to be associated with him. It is like touching a tar baby,…"

Unfortunately, we've got to "move on"...
