RUSH: One other little item here. I want to go back to the tobacco settlement. It's all related. This is all related to liberalism. It's all related to Big Government, it's all related to a bunch of socialist liberals who want to intrude every possible way into your freedom and your liberty. Do you remember all these big-time tobacco settlements where the tort lawyers, in some cases, got fees of a billion dollars, divvied 'em up, some lawyers ended up with $200 million in these cases? What...

Al Sharpton, last night on television in New York on NY1, the host, Dominic Carter asked him the question: "Is Barack Obama the nominee?"SHARPTON: There's no possible scenario that I see without the total destruction of the Democratic Party for Hillary Clinton to become the nominee. The worst thing in the world is when an entertainer doesn't know when the show is over. The audience is gone, the lights are down,...

Not of your singing, but the other stuff.RUSH: Yeah, well, you know, cut me some slack on that. You know I'm deaf.CALLER: Okay. I had a question a little off topic. After the Holocaust, we said never again. In 1994, over 800,000 blacks were butchered to death in the Rwanda genocide, and the Clintons did nothing. Now the Clintons want back...

RUSH: Angela in El Paso, Texas, glad you called. Welcome to the program.CALLER: Hello?RUSH: Hello.CALLER: Hi, Rush. I was calling because earlier your caller from Miami, you commented to her that you thought liberal hubris prevented liberals from believing conservatives are right.

I think there's a little voice in the back of their head that's telling them conservatives are right, I think...

Climate change's effects on Antarctica are of particular interest because of the substantial amount of water locked up in its ice sheets. Should that water begin to melt,...

RUSH: Obama has thrown down the gauntlet. Last night, CNN's Situation Room, he was on with Wolf Blitzer. And Blitzer says, "McCain says this, for example. 'I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas' worst nightmare. Senator Obama is favored by Hamas. I think people can make judgments accordingly.'"OBAMA: This is offensive, and I think it's disappointing because John McCain always says,...

RUSH: I got an interesting note from a friend of mine, friend of mine with whom I used to play touch football Thursday afternoons. When I worked for the Kansas City Royals from 1979 to '83 at the end of the baseball season, the front office of the Royals would play touch football on Thursday afternoons regardless the weather, with the front office of the Kansas City "Cheeps," they were the "Cheeps" at the time. And we had sole interlopers that joined the game, people that were not part of the...

Story #1: Communist Burmese Junta's Evil Surprises UNRUSH: This is classic. The United Nations says it is going to suspend all further aid shipments for the survivors of the hurricane in Burma because the junta seized all the goods.
