The rules are as follows: Bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish. I have also added an asterisk to books I own but have not yet read but may read someday.

I almost never listen to Rush Limbaugh because it makes me feel as though a blood vessel is about to pop in my brain. However, I was driving around the other day and happened upon the station with his show. I listened to him for a few minutes just to make sure he was as dumb as I remembered (he was, spouting lots of nonsense about having to stay in Iraq until the job was done, even if it took "forever," which he says it won't because . . . well, I'm not sure why--just because "nothing lasts forever.") Anyway, it happened to be the day he made his "phony soldiers" remark ( http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/10/03/limbaugh.soldiers/index.html ).

I hardly even noticed that remark and had forgotten about it until I just saw the cnn.com article about it. I mean, when you're listening to Rush, how can you listen to a single statement and say "Okay, this is offensive and where I draw the line." You can't. It's Rush Limbaugh. So he believes that soldiers who are against the war are "phony soldiers."
