heya Eli!

Now if rush *does* buy the Rams, a new team name is obviously in order.

suggestions?

The All-Whites.

Limbaugh is an overrated windbag who isn’t worth the time it takes me to write this comment.

I saw a clip of that Rush guy on tv, saying screw you to Kathleen S. He’s an absolute pig, and I don’t really care what he says or does about anything. But, thanks for the post.
Eli. It’s kinda like talking about Sarah. Blech. Leave them to God.

Some of us in LA refer to them as the Lambs.

You said it better and shorter. I owe you one.

I like the idea that there would be serious on-field implications to Rush as an owner. There are lots of asshole owners, but Rush might really be the first one that players would refuse to play for.

Ah, ha. I remember the good old days when we were proud of the Rams. I’m old.

hmmm – one things rams occasionally do is to square off and butt heads.

The St. Louis Butt-Heads?

What does the piggy say? Reeeeeeeee.

The St. Louis Cysts?

I like it. Yer funny. Hi, jayt.

Kiwanuka and the Jets’ Bart Scott made it clear Thursday that they would never play for the Rams or any team owned by the controversial conservative radio host.

I don’t think they are the only ones heck an African American Players strike on Rush’s team might happen. Didn’t some state get banned from sports games for not passing the Martin Luther King holiday?

The idea of Rush being involved in sports in any way is
stomach-turning. Can you imagine him sitting in the owner’s box with his big cigar when we know what he is like. blegh

Rushbo represents the persecuted White Overlords, who have wreaked untold havoc in the history of the World.

Long live the St. Louis Rams Rahms … *g*

I can’t respect him as a man.”

Facts not in evidence

LOL … Eli !

If the Rams, under owner Rush, were to go 2-14, would the organization accept that, or insist to the NFL that they were actually undefeated, that the record was reflective only of a NFLiberal Agenda, and that they therefore actually won the Super Bowl?

The one thing Rush would have going for him is that 2-14 wouldn’t be that much of a departure from recent history.

Maybe he’ll have to emulate kindred spirit George Marshall:

The Redskins’ intransigent owner, George Preston Marshall, kept the team in the nation’s capital lily-white until 16 years after the NFL was integrated.

(…)
3, the Redskins had just three winning seasons, yet the owner resolutely refused to change…. Marshall insisted, “We’ll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites.”

Yep, that sure worked out well. St. Louis must be very excited.

Do you think Rush might field an all White Team?

Oh, now you’re being uberclever. Hi, Petro.

Do they have to be fat too?

I think he might not have a choice. But I reckon he probably wouldn’t be all that broken up about it.

demi !!

Yuck, hopefully they won’t favor the squeeze-play (yeah, I know it’s the wrong sport).

Do they have to be fat too?

oh yeah. Their default offensive set would be for every one of them to stand up and begin making ridiculous arguments as to why their runner should *never* be tackled.

How’s Indiana? Proly the same as here. Same stuff, different weather.
Nothing turns me on like a bloviating fat football team owner.
Oh yeah…./s.

2 Glasses of a very fine Red will do that to ya …

{{{ demi }}}

I seem to remember way back in the day that Rush worked for a Kansas City sports team. He later worked as a DJ in Sacramento, where Roger Ailes picked him for the big-time job of trashing Michael Dukakis.

When the EIB “network” moved to bigger offices, Rush whined on the air that someone had stolen some pro athlete’s sweaty jersey that Rush had been keeping in his desk drawer as a bit of sports memorabilia.

He now comes full circle, spending his $400 million signing bonus trying to buy an NFL franchise. Once a jock-sniffer, always a jock-sniffer.

Don’t I get some kind of award for my second sentence?

I’m sure Indiana is like here, soaking wet and getting colder.

You get a free Dinner Date with Rush or O’Liely … lucky girl !

We had a few cold days, but it’s getting warm again. Oh, hell. Waiting for jeans and sweatshirts weather. Hi, honey. I’m getting ready to go out for some tacos, beer and then some Pool. Shooting, that is.

I seem to be having very little luck trying to single-handedly stave off cold weather via a stubborn refusal to stop wearing the summer-weight suits…

Yes the Brain Bleach Award I think maybe we should move the snark tag to the front of the sentence maybe:)

Nooooooooooo…..

Things!

think – “Hot soup – meet lap”.

The NFL is hugely Republican. Oddly, the LA Rams are the biggest contributor to Democrats. The Rams and IIRC the Dolphins are two NFL teams which contribute much more to Democrats than Republicans.

Maybe just a coincidence that Pigboy wants to buy the number one Democrat team.

When is JEB Bush going to take the helm as NFL Commish?

Supposed to get below freezing here during the coming nights.

Yes huge Fat and Republican I would watch a GOPer team get crushed.

I’m in my seasonal transition phase. Shorts and long sleeves.

Ouch! A kick to the groin, maybe. That’s my working out reply. :)

Here’s a question for these overpaid gladiators: sure, you won’t play for a team owned by Rush. Will you play against a team owned by Rush? Because that’s how to flex your muscle with your own teams’ owners: announce you won’t take the field to oppose a team Rush owns.

yeah, that’s a good look.

At least once a week, I wear sneakers with the suit….

Can Not Relate. It only freezes here maybe once every several years. I remember a time, decades ago, my younger sister was running around the back yard with a seemingly circular glass plate. It was ice from the bird feeder. Trippy memory.

Or that they’ll just make a beeline for the owner’s box like in Spartacus.

the Limbaugh offense -

Rush: three yards and a cloud of flatulence.
Pass: visited upon young Domincan boys

Surely, all the municipal land deals whereby the taxpayers pay to build multimillion dollar stadiums for billionaire team owners is a Republican thing. That’s the way they roll. Then, they sit around and knock the poor on welfare.

Don’t worry Rush likes boys and O’Reily…. well if he starts talking about phone sex run!

The screen would not be part of their repertoire, as Rush has never had much success with it.

the Limbaugh offense -

the least of their worries. I figure that they’re duty-bound to be inherently offensive.

Here in LA, we’re allowed to do shorts and cowgirl boots. It’s a look. Maybe not as attractive with jayt and his suits and tennies. *g*

“go deep!”

It’s a nice thought but if it comes to pass they’ll all play. Too much money at stake to stand on principle.

Excellent, Teddy !!!

He’s not real good at that either…

Demi you got the Snark today I’m trying but you got me in the dust today.

Wow, are those boots made from REAL cowgirls?

*checking brain bleach stockpile*

I’m happily married. Never listen to O’Reilly. I only flirt with you, jayt, petro, rat, things….okay, and raven and southern dragon. Shall I go on?
I like me some librul mens.

they would never excel at getting good players out of college, what with him being a draft dodger and all.

just their large thumbs.

Only on payday, babe.

Agreed sounds like a post I can’t do it football is not my thing.

PS, Mary Mc, Marion, molly, christy, oh, this is getting embarrasing.

Things, you are so kind. That’s not me flirting. Just saying it like it is.

backfield in motion Beck feeled emotion

Maybe they could recruit women and change the team name to the Hillbilly Heroines.

Jeebus … LMAO !

Maybe lightning will strike twice, and after Limbaugh gets a hold of the team, he’ll suffer a stroke too?

don’t mention the tight end.

Wouldn’t they rather play against that team, and pound them into the dirt? Be a good way to tell Rush “go to hell”, in my opinion. Though either way would probably work….

AIEEEE!

Allz my lezbianz is cranky now!

I feel the same way about the women here Demi smart strong willed and funny. Sarah Palin, Malkin, Ann Coulter, Something about girls acting like rabid ferrets on Meth…just kills it for me.

Not sure I like the idea of Rush’s team going 16-0 (or 19-0) by forfeit either.

don’t let them get the blues…

I do believe that Rush is hedging his bets about his radio future. Besides, being a passive owner is so much easier than having to do a daily radio show.

Why do I think so? Rush is from Missouri and likely that is his motivation for wanting a St. Louis team. Daddy has a courthouse named for him in Cape Girardeau. Rush wants his monument. Methinks that every time he hears the words Lambeau Field, it inspires him. Why not Limbaugh Field?

As for a player boycott, it all depends on how big a pay differential Rush is willing to shell out to overcome his negative image. And who is actually running the front office and managing the team.

But first he must overcome the initial hurdle of shelling out enough cash to get the team in the first place. And convincing the other owners that he can contribute to the league is not going to be a slam-dunk for him.

As for his racism, there is a quote attributed to Bear Bryant: “Look at that Puerto Rican run.” Most likely the color he likes most is green.

Now allz my boyfriendz wants’ to pun’t you!

“encroachment – five yard penalty!”

OK, sorry; for some reason I was overcome with LOLCat vapors. It’s passed now. I promise to lurk or be reasonable now. :)

He’s not thinking of it as an investment, buying a sports team is a giant ego trip for people who already have more money than they know what to do with.

Here’s their team theme song:

Drop Kick me Jeebus through the Goalposts of Life

Men on Football

I loves Dick Butkus and Bib Gresie

I think Rush would have a *real* hard time attracting black free agents, and bear in mind that the NFL has a salary cap, so paying a premium would be difficult.

And I have a hard time imagining the players under contract really knocking themselves out for a racist owner, even if they don’t think bailing is a viable option.

Unedited version

Only if the team is made up of racist GOPers otherwise innocents would get hurt.

Raven at Night! Woo Hoo. Did you hear me say your name?

Damon’s hats were always awesome!

NFL players knock themselves out for themselves and their teammates.

Nope, just cruised by while I watch the stinkin jankees.

I loved the alternative Superbowl Halftime shows.

I played my flute in the marching band in HS. Took me ’til my senior year to ask what a “down” was.

3 words … Fa-Bu-Lous !

“The NFL draft is a liberal commie plot! Why reward someone for losing by giving them the best college player? This. Has. Got. To. End.”

– R. Limbaugh

Still. Good.

They were either red, yellow or blue and red.

…to ask what a “down” was.

I think that Rush could actually help you on that one…

Well, since his team would be the one losing, I’m pretty sure he’d be okay with it.

I don’t remember what the hell I was doing during the game. Prolly flirting. Oh, did I say that?

a “scoring drive” has a whole different meaning for Rush. that’s when he sends his maid across town to procure Oxycontin..

Stop. It!
(spit, spit, spit.)

Rush calling plays for his team that should be interesting

Two snaps and our backfields in motion…

offense by lunatic bombast.

(2-14 was probably *way* optimistic)

That man could not call the sun to come up.

Too bad that show didn’t run longer.

two and one wouldn’t even work for him.
See? I learned about football.

That man could not call the sun to come up.

good luck convincing him that the rest of us all don’t really owe him about the whole sun coming up thing.

Note to Jayt: that was two AND one, not two ON one. Just to clarify.

Rush doing sports commentary with no one to tell him he can’t say something on network tv because he owns the stadium? The Snark will write itself.

three and out, ad nauseum

Admitting to Canuck bias, my fave was Fire Marshall Bill, played by Jim Carrey.

OT, I don’t think so

(AP) WASHINGTON — Show me some civility, Republicans cried Friday after a Missouri congressman speaking on the House floor was caught on microphone apparently cussing out a fellow Missourian.

Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton, D-Mo., had just finished addressing his Republican colleague Todd Akin Thursday.

Skelton then turned to the side and muttered “stick it up your ass.”

LOL !!!

I love him! I’d flirt with him.

I get silly on Friday nights. Ha! Yeah, like I’m sane the rest of the time.

Has anyone mentioned the significance of “rush” in the football lexicon?

Hey Petro, I had to turn the AC on tonight!

I think that’s wonderful. Of course, he will have to apologize but he said it and that counts.

or dope for that matter

(Brain Bleach warning ) Without little blue pills and Dominican boys thats not all he can’t call up. Cripes I just flashed seeing Rush hanging around the locker room while the team showers. I’m flashing sexual harassment suits players invite to Rush’s house and slipped Hillbilly Heroin.
I’m seeing the NFL’s biggest scandal ever.

For a short-lived variety show it boosted a lot of careers.

well, let’s keep an open mind here, eh?

Cool nice to see a Dem curse out a GOPer over letting Gays serve.

Raven !

We’ve had the furnace running for 3 weeks now … good excuse to break out the Grand Marnier, though …

How’s your son doing?

Ah sobriety. A Fresca in one hand and a little cocker spaniel laying next to me!

I recall Rush saying he was only targeted because of his celebrity, that if he had been just an ordinary joe with 80,000 tabs of Oxycontin they’d have left him alone…

Yep, it was chock full of talent …

The dispute arose over opposition from Akin and other Republicans to inclusion in a major defense policy bill of a provision extending federal hate crimes law to include violence against gays.

Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/…..15821.html

Sorry I was wrong its hate crimes attached to a defense bill I’m sorry.

Life’s simple pleasures.

That’s what they all say!

At least he didn’t have to serve any time. Just like an ordinary joe.

80,000 tabs

What was he scoring for the entire Republican convention for the whole convention?

Okay, guys, I’m being taken out to dinner now. And, just a demi note on what is is. Flirting is not about I wanna get laid. It’s about feeling good about yourself and wanting to make other people feel good about themselves too. I almost wrote Lifing others up, but then you know who would make a comment. Ha ha.
I’ll bring some beer and tacos home for my friend.
Is there another female here to take hold of the mens?

The huskie on the floor wants up too!

Have a great weekend, y’all !

My cocker is a girl! Lil Bit.

Yep, ordinary joes with their public defenders get all the breaks.

Go Dawgs!

How much does 80,000 tabs weigh?

Nah, he said they were all for personal use.

pretty good. Accepted already into IU’s Kelly School of Business and ROTC – and also accepted into West Point.

So right now he spends pretty much every night in his room, for fear of getting caught up in some off-base something-or-other which might screw it all up.

(which sounds suspiciously like maturity – but he seems to have recently discovered it.)(and I’m still pretty sure he’s related to me – very strange).

I’ve seen her in your videos. Give her a pet/belly rub/hug for me, will ya?

Good deal, our new boss is coming from the Point.

as we speak

PS to Raven. There was a ton of Candy left over from the wedding. My daughter told the wedding coordinator to throw it out. I brought it all home and taking it to Operation Gratitude, for the service folks.

Gotta keep it fair, can’t play favorites.

Jabba the Hutt-Hutt- – - -Hike!

There was no law that said X amount is automatically possession with intent to sell? Or what ever the legal term is! Whats a lethal dose of Oxy?

Ha, the Bodhisattva can take it!

Good One :) That could be the teams new name since Hutts and Rush’s eat Rams whole!

There was no law that said X amount is automatically possession with intent to sell?

yes there is. It’s rebuttable though.

OT – Alan Grayson coming up on the Countdown re-run.

I really like that guy.

It’s rebuttable though.

Fancy lawyer term?

Sounds like a fun evening! (Trying out some of the Republic of Cacao chocolate I bought on sale at Gelson’s. Varietal chocolate.)

If you didn’t see it earlier be sure to catch it. Talk about shoving it up their ass!

just means that there’s a presumption that X amount *must* be evidence of possession with intent to sell.

If one can, however, convince a prosecutor or a court that that huge amount was indeed only for personal consumption, then one can get away from the dealing charge.

now IIRC, Rush had prescriptions for all of his – but it was determined that he gamed the system by using multiple doctors who each wrote prescriptions without knowledge of the other existing prescriptions written by others.

So – criminal activity by gaming the medical system – still, though – personal use.

Is “doctor shopping” itself a crime?

It is if one is lying to each of those doctors to the effect that there are no other prescriptions outstanding.

ty

Get ready for a big sports “we was robbed” from the Flamethrower!

Lawyer Speech for personal use 80,000 tabs could kill how many people with over doses?

…80,000 tabs could kill how many people with over doses?

Lots – if you exclude one fat, loud, rude, and irrelevant radio talk-show host.

OT (and not having read comments)- Did folks see that katymine reported in last night that she’s in hospice care?

No did not see that thanks for the up date I hope she is ok.

OH NO. Which thread, Loo Hoo? I just read a comment from her the other night that sounded pretty cheery!!

Never mind. Found it. Late-late night.

Last night’s late late night:

larue, I’ve had two good nights, only on oral meds and O2. Elmore can travel without worrying and I get the best back rubs everrrrr

in today’s world of hospice, they do ask that I not seek treatment but now that I have had the morphine and oxygen I feel so much better. when I get stronger, I could go back home and try it. I can say no but youall need to understand the amount of tumors I have, sucks doesn’t it. think of it as assisted living vs hospice

Gregg Levine has Late Night upstairs…
Late Night: Mixing Memory and Desire for Change

You know I’ve said before that the way to stop Limbaugh is two fold.

1) Private investigators. Limbaugh is an addict and addicts rarely stay clean. He has been using again. Catch him. Limbaugh has been a sex tourist. That is a fact. We don’t know what the extent of that is, but do you ever wonder why he was caught with the Viagra pills and how that was uncovered and then dismissed. Evidence of other sex tourism (or evidence of the previous event) are things to use.

2) Counter intuitively on technique is to get him MORE coverage, but NOT the kind of coverage he can control. Rush is BAD when he can’t control the situation. He is different than Hannity who takes calls and argues with people. Rush’s history with TV is that when he is in an uncontrollable situation and is really questions he fails. And he might just let loose with some more racist or sick sexist nonsense.

3) Force his bosses to lose money on him. I have a current post on this issue at the Seminal How to Kick Tea Bagging Sponsors in the Wallet And Mess up their Media Coverage.
Limbaugh has made them a ton of money, they OWE him, but they are also paying him a lot of money. Is he worth it? Maybe they will ask to renegotiate his contract because of the advertising slump. Start suggesting that to his contract holders. “Your stock price will go up if you pay Rush less.”

I think there is in-home hospice (a close friend’s mother had that in her final days, and now his sister does, with 24X7 nurses), and in-patient hospice, where they move into a hospice facility (my cousin had that sort of hospice for a few days before his death). I think it is for terminal illnesses only, but not necessarily with any time period limit.

Katy has been so brave. My thoughts of concern and healing go out to her.

Katy’s posts last night were actually quite nurturing toward us. She is a trouper.

Jayt – many congratulations to you and your progeny — you’ve obviously been doing something right all these years

The league better hope Rush doesn’t go forward with this. Because you can be sure they want nothing to do with him and will never approve his purchase. Which brings the possibility that Rush would start a jihad against the anti trust exemption for professional sports teams which would be the death of them as we know them. I guess that is not a political battle he would win but throwing the light on it could have a material impact on team valuations and already the economic decline is pressuring many franchises. We are already in a sports franchise recession and mark my words that they are going to start failing in any case.

As sport team ownership is the ultimate ego play and since Rush is Mr Ego I don’t doubt that this is a battle he might not be able to resist.

What a lonely guy.

He has to buy a football team to get a date.

Can you imagine all that fat splashing around in his private booth, sounds like a National Security Problem to me. If He got to excited he could become like the blob. All the people in the stadium could be in real danger.

Arizona. Well over half of the NFL is African American.
