Enduring the flu through water, cleanex and radio

I feel reasonably better. Keep in mind, I have not moved from my bed or living room couch in 24 hours. I think a walk to the mailbox would kill me. I think I have the flu. Not as bad as December 1999. That was hell. But I pushed it. Now, I plant my ass in bed and sleep it off with lots of water, cleanex and talk radio.

Thank God my football team pulled off a major upset this weekend, so everyone was really positive on the sports call in shows. Since their founding the team has been frustrating. They win the games they were supposed to lose and lose the games they were supposed to win. They would win against a team that was the best in the league, so everyone would start thinking about the playoffs. The next week, they would lose to a team that was so dysfunctional half the team showed up in the wrong uniform, so we would start thinking about who we were going to take as first pick in next year's draft.

I listened to good ol' Rush. He can talk for 21 minutes without taking a break! 21 minutes! He did it three days in a row. Sit in a room by yourself and talk for 21 minutes on one topic. He must be on a steady diet of throat lozenges.

People are so funny when they call talk radio. You know they have it all worked out in their heads and then they get on and......."Well Rush, I really love your show and have been a steady listener since 1994 and I...just the other day...you see....we cannot afford to let the liberal agenda poison our way of life....we just need to be strong and....the other day I was walking down the street and this woman...man...comes up to me....and I was.....they said....they had a sign...that read Palin is a Pirate....and I shook my head....and I just wanted you to know that I support America...and God bless you."

This is probably why the liberal media don't have talk shows. They interview the academic elite.

I am talking with Dr. Irene Buernstein in the fireplace lounge at the Faculty center of Harvard University. Dr. Buernstain is the Director of the International Center for Religious and Moral Freedom Studies. She has written seventeen books and 144 articles. She has never worked in the real world and comes from an upper middleclass family in a suburb. She has been to several third world countries but has never had to touch anyone. Dr. Buernstein, thank you for sitting down with us. How do bombers use religion to justify blowing themselves up?"

"Well that is an excellent question that can be answered through several frameworks. I tend to lean towards a more pragmatic centralism that draws on the orthodox notions of deceptivism. If we look at the historical foundations of modern religous unity, we can find traces of alienation within the ranks of world concepts."
