Seriously, last time I was in Florida, I was pulled over twice... for no apparent reason. It wasn't until I spoke with a friend at Tampa PD that the reason was my out-of-state plates. It has become routine in FL to pull cars w/ o-o-s plates that they see multiple times to check them for doctor shopping.

Thanks Limpdick!

65. from salon.com: Rusty and me By Julie Limbaugh
Mon Nov 19, 2012, 08:29 PM
Nov 2012

this was an interesting article from about two years back


I find myself in Rush Limbaugh’s library standing next to a leather couch upon which Ann Coulter is perched. The room is festive — crowded with relatives, wineglasses, cigar smoke and loud conversation. I am glaring silently at my mom from across the room with my arms crossed in the “unapproachable way” I know she hates. Mom says I have to introduce myself to Ann because everyone else in the family has met her, Thanksgiving vacation is almost over, she is Rush’s guest, and I am being childish and rude. I have never spoken with Ann or read any of her books, but based on her public persona, I have decided that she is someone I hate. I feel fine about this — happy about this — why would I want to talk to her?

And suddenly I realize that I have become the person I can’t stand.

You see, I’m judging her based on her public persona before ever meeting her. And if we talk, and I actually like her, which I might — that will mean she’s become one more person I have to admit I like even though I’m not supposed to.

From third grade on, I have been asked, “Are you related to Rush Limbaugh?” My teachers’ whispered questions about the man on the radio made me feel important, even though my 8-year-old comrades had no idea who he was, since he didn’t appear on the Disney Channel or in ABC’s Friday-night sitcom lineup. During those years, I didn’t know who he was either. I knew Cousin Rusty kicked a football pretty well and always brought Cuban cigars to family gatherings. Sometimes he would get Aunt Patty to smoke one and my cousins and I would laugh at her coughing as we watched from the neighbor’s trampoline. I was proud of him like I was proud of my brother, who’s older than your brother and can beat your brother up.
It was pretty hit-and-miss but clear-cut all the same. People either didn’t know who he was or didn’t care or loved him or hated him. There was no like in the equation. If they had an opinion about him, once they learned of our connection, they offered that opinion.

“Really?! Well, this is what I think of him …”

He's still fat enough to stop a bullet- maybe he could be used by the secret service as some sort of experimental bullet proof ball of goo, to be deployed at all of the POTUS events, in the hope that he will absorb any lead projectile-launched attempts on POTUS's life. I can think of no better ending for Limbaugh than going out by taking a bullet for two-term president of the United States of America Obama. Somehow the world would seem healed afterward.

111. He's not a perfect A**hole (has a pilonidal cyst)
Tue Nov 20, 2012, 08:34 AM
Nov 2012

His pilonidal cyst kept him out of military duty (funny, mine didn't keep me out);

.. a pilonidal cyst is a cyst at the top of the crack (well, edit if you must but keep the title in, pleeeeeeze?)
.. a pilonidal cyst bleeds on occasion & is problematic if it gets infected, but mine's never been much a bother, I can walk, run, sit, squat, just like normal people!
In fact, people never even suspect when I go out & about. I'm beginning to suspect they only know I have one when I say things like 'did you know I have a pilonidal cyst?'.

So there, I did come up with something nice to say about rush limbaugh, he's NOT a perfect a**hole, just an imperfect one.
