RUSH: I touched on this next story briefly early on. I'm going to spend just a little more time on it. From the Washington Post Foreign Service today, a new report to show UN overestimated AIDS epidemic. Now, why would they do that? Why would the UN overestimate the AIDS epidemic? Can anybody say money? Same reason Ted Danson overestimated the death of the oceans. Can anybody ask the same question about global warming? Why would the UN be overestimating the destruction from global warming?...

RUSH: "A top UN official reported to the UN Security Council that recent developments in Iraq have opened an opportunity for progress. UN Under Secretary General for Political Affairs, B. Lynn Pascoe, briefed the UN Security Council that sectarian tensions are still problematic, but that recent trends including recently released figures that show September having the lowest number of casualties in 2006 are reason to believe there is opportunity for progress." In fact, ladies and gentlemen, front...

RUSH: The ABC Iowa poll. Mentioned this to you yesterday. It's Obama 30, Hillary 27, and the Breck Girl at 22%. If you look closer, if you look at the internals, you will see that the lead that Obama has is two points, not three. This is margin-of-error stuff, when you ask people who are definitely going to go to the Hawkeye Cauci. Now, there's some conventional wisdom out there. Scott Rasmussen and his polling data and Dick Morris both say that Iowa only matters. Well, Hillary can lose Iowa...

Do you remember back in the late eighties the phenomenon known as toad licking? The Arkansas spotted toad. "A man in Missouri has been arrested for possession of a hallucinogenic toad. Police in Kansas City say David Theiss planned to get high by licking the Colorado River Toad's venom glands.The 21-year-old is accused of possessing the toad 'with the intention of using it as a hallucinogen.' They said that many pet shops in the area do not stock the animal because the venom can make people sick...

Rush's Morning Update: Jail BreakNovember 21, 2007Watch It! Download Morning Update Video in QuickTimeListen to It! Windows Media Player|RealPlayer Well, just in time for the holiday season, folks! A new report says[that] the number of Americans in jail has risen eight-fold since 1970. As usual, women and minorities are hardest hit. Women are the fastest growing population of new criminals being sent to prison. (And who says the push for equality isn't getting results?)In 1970, there were...

RUSH:Let this be a lesson, ladies and gentlemen. When you want something, you have to ask for it. It was just a little over an hour ago that I asked the broadcast engineer to add a song to the bumper rotation: Shakin' All Over, by The Guess Who. So the broadcast engineer went out, and found it rather quickly. Since that time, I've heard it once. I made the mistake of assuming the broadcast engineer would understand that I wanted to be blown away by it for the rest of the show. I've heard it...

RUSH: Here's Matt from Jacksonville, Florida. Hi, Matt. Glad you waited. Welcome to the program.CALLER: Hey, Rush, how you doing? Cornucopia of dittos to you, sir.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: Sure. Hey, I wanted to ask your opinion, really, about this whole Clinton mess. Of course, I don't want to make you blue or anything, but what's your opinion on, since you've outed Hillary for a lot of the things that she's done, and Bill also, and the driver's license mess and everything, what do you think,...

RUSH: This is from the Los Angeles Times: "Forget the driver's license and credit cards. The most important piece of plastic in Cheng Wang's wallet is his new medical identification card featuring a picture of a heart and this city's signature skyline. Wang, who has diabetes and other ailments, says the Healthy San Francisco program saved his life. When he immigrated here in May to be closer to his elderly mother, the 64-year-old Taiwan native brought enough pills to last seven months. When those...

RUSH: "The Dubai government agency that bought into Deutsche Bank this year said on Monday it was considering investing in US financial services firms affected by the mortgage-market crisis." (laughing) The thing is, Dubai could wipe out the debt; they could wipe out the crisis. "DIFC Investments, one of the agencies Dubai has used to buy foreign assets, is identifying 'good opportunities for acquisitions' in the United States, the governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) said...

RUSH: This is Ken in Bound Brook, New Jersey, you're next on the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hello. Good afternoon, Rush.RUSH: Good afternoon.CALLER: Great to speak with you. In any event, I'm responding to the story you spoke about earlier about this economics or financial analyst who claims that the people that are going to be hurt most by the credit downturn are poor and minorities. Well, the fact of the matter is that poor people don't get new car loans, typically, because they can't afford...

RUSH: To the phones we go, to Harry in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I'm glad that you called, sir. Thank you.CALLER: Rush, turkey and football is about as American as you can get, and this year, as you mentioned earlier this week in your program, the game on Thanksgiving will only be broadcast by the NFL Network. I have been briefed on this matter, Rush, and the problem is the NFL Network only wants to be carried as a vacant package by the cable conglomerate. So, if you have cable, you're not going...

RUSH: Anne E. Kornblut and Jon Cohen, Washington Post: "For Democrats, Iowa Still up for Grabs." This is their take on the ABC poll that shows Hillary at 30 and Obama at 26 and the Breck Girl down there at 22%. The pull quote paragraph here: "She appears more vulnerable on questions of character. Thirty-one percent found Obama to be the most honest and trustworthy, about double the percentage who said the same of Clinton." As I said, I wouldn't be surprised if the Clinton campaign calls whoever...

RUSH: This is going to be a long week. I normally don't air a whole lot of dirty laundry from the family, but the first eleven of them showed up last night about 6 p.m., and, of course, I had dinner all prepared and ready. We were going to eat at a reasonable hour, and in the middle of hors d'oeuvres and adult beverages, my brother comes in and says, "We can't find Caitlyn," my eight-year-old little niece. So he's looking out in the backyard, he's looking near the swimming pool area, and I said,...
