Actually, by Rush standards\* that was fairly classy. At least he didn’t say “hooters” or “gazongas” or “funbags”. \*A bar that a gnat would have a hard time limbo-ing under. ---

Aren’t people with AIDS generally already treated for free or at low cost even without insurance? That’s kind of a reach for that Michigan Repub, but who says right wing Republicans have clear thinking? ---

[Megyn Kelly wants us to know Santa Claus and Jesus are white.](So, one day, I was riding my motorcycle to work when the UPS truck driver that I was slowly overtaking tossed a cig butt out of his truck. In Arizona. In the middle of fire season. The butt bounced harmlessly off my windshield, but I was seriously outraged. I pulled up next to him, honked my horn and made him pull over.)
