**Bengangmo** owes me a new keyboard because reading that made me laugh and spit the beer I was drinking across my keyboard.

I accept checks. 😉

What do you want me to check - whether you’re drinking the right beer?

If it’s a good malty ale I’m sure we’ll be good, but if it’s a lager then we might have a problem.

On the other hand, if you’d like a cheque…😛

Was Bass Ale so I’ll open a PayPal account to accept your money. 😃

[sub]I am kidding in case that is not clear although I did _almost_ spit my beer across my keyboard and it _was_ (still is) Bass Ale…one of my favorites.[/sub]

> Well, as much as it pains me to praise Limbaugh, I have to give him credit where credit is due. Me thinks it’s an icy day Hades today.

I listen to Mr. Limbaugh about once a decade. I responded to this post earlier, but since have actually listened to the [9-minute Limbaugh broadcast](http://blogs.forbes.com/rickungar/2011/05/02/rush-limbaughs-sarcasm-on-bin-laden-death-is-this-really-entertainment/). Methinks you also neglected to actually listen to Limbaugh’s full speech.

I’ve linked to the 9 minute comment above. To say he gives credit to Obama turns out to be absurd. Sarcasm galore, ridicule, credit only to Bush … enough to make you vomit. And almost every time Limbaugh mentions Osama he says “Obama … I mean Osama.”

The people claiming Limbaugh gave Obama credit must all either be hypocrites or like me – unwilling to actually listen to Rush’s voice for more than few seconds.

Like I say, Limbaugh is only a once-a-decade “pleasure” for me. Maybe I’ll try him again in 2021.
