Okay, Rush, it is so good to talk to you.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: Listen, I enjoyed your comment earlier about the bonding and Sex and the City stuff, but I suggest, I'm a Vietnam-era honest to God United States Marine Corps combat veteran, and my two kids are both career Navy, and I suggest that we do bond, especially in the military,...

RUSH: You know, our friends at General Motors want us to drive all these new cars. They have the Tahoe hybrid, all kinds of things. They've given us here the Saturn ASTRA, and it's based on one of their best-selling models in Europe, and it is great-looking little car, 30 miles to the gallon on the highway with an automatic transmission. Now, one of the cool things about the Saturn ASTRA: GM calls it "neutral idle technology." Basically when the car stops at a light, the transmission shifts to...

RUSH: Since we're on this basic subject -- and what is the basic subject? What would you say, Mr. Snerdley? I often ask the staff these questions and see if they're actually paying attention, folks, because I know that you are. What would you say is the basic theme of the program? (interruption) Well, okay, yeah, true, market economics, indisputable, market economics. But why are we having to explain market economics? (interruption) Right, which is leading to what? Gas prices, which is leading...

RUSH: The Democrats are beside themselves that the guy Obama hired to vet his vice presidential possibilities, some guy named Johnson, has got all kinds of scandal problems, and he's a lobbyist and all these things that Obama has just washed his hands of. Yeah, that's right, he gets a sweetheart loan from Countrywide, and we all hate Countrywide, the home mortgage bunch that made sure everybody is now living in a tent. We hate 'em. So Obama has gone out and gotten this guy to vet his vice presidential...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, please indulge me here as I interrupt today's excursion into broadcast excellence for a personal moment, one of great pride, joy, and happiness for all of the members of my family. This is audio from the Senate. After hearing arguments over the nomination of my cousin Stephen Limbaugh, Jr., to the federal bench, district judge, Eastern District of Missouri, this afternoon in Washington, after hearing the arguments, the clerk and Senator Jon Tester make this announcement.TESTER:...

RUSH: Baltimore, Maryland, back to the phones, this is Terry. It's great to have you with us. Hello, sir.CALLER: How are you doing, Rush?RUSH: Never better, sir. Thank you.CALLER: Tom Moore dittos, by the way. Real quick, Rush: Prior to 1978, our oil companies -- and with all their products and derivatives -- made a profit. In 1978, the Carter administration Democratic-controlled Congress placed all the products and derivatives on the commodity market. My contention, Rush -- unless you...

RUSH: This morning in Washington, DC, the Republicans' standard-bearer, Senator McCain, spoke to the National Federation of Independent Business and eBay 2008 National Small Business Summit. He said this to a business summit.MCCAIN: Americans are right to be offended when the extravagant salaries and severance deals of CEOs, in some cases the very same CEOs who helped bring on these market troubles, bear no relation to the success of the company or the wishes of the stockholders. Something is...

RUSH: My North Carolina mistress just sent me an e-mail. Aside from telling me that the me she knows from yesterday is true to form, she said, "Would you explain the difference between profit and windfall profit?" I will do my best as a layperson not formally educated in classical economics. A windfall profit is a profit gained by a company for an activity in which they had no role in creating the activity. There was no investment. There was no work done. There was no involvement whatsoever,...

RUSH: I watched a little bit of Obama today. There was a web feed of an Obama appearance somewhere -- and they were running it, of course, on DNCTV. They're doing Obama telethons each of the next ten or 12 Tuesdays leading up to the convention. I mean, they're not calling it Obamathons, but that's what they are. Super Tuesday is devoted entirely to the presidential race, which is all they do 24/7 there anyway. At any rate, I'm watching and he's talking about the health problems in this country,...

RUSH: Listen to Chris Matthews. This is last night on DNCTV and his show, Hardball. MATTHEWS: I don't understand why the Democratic Party doesn't do to the Republicans what the Republicans did to the Democrats back in 1980 when we had a fuel crisis. You got gasoline going to five bucks a gallon. Everybody knows that. It could be at six by November. Why don't they blame it all on Halliburton, the oil industry, the Republicans in bed with the oil industry?RUSH: That's incredible! Where the hell...

RUSH: I also want to try to delicately address something here that I was chastised for somewhat. There wasn't a whole lot of e-mails, but I did get four or five e-mails after yesterday's program from very upset women. (interruption) No, they're not upset about that, Snerdley. It's something quite more basic. They were very upset over the discussion of Sex and the City and why men don't go watch the stupid movie. Three of them demanded that we cancel their subscriptions to my website, Rush 24/7....

Windows Media Player|RealPlayer Less than a month ago, the interior department caved to the Democrat-run Congress and declared polar bears a "threatened species" --which they aren't!

Story #1:Solar Physicists Worried Over Dearth of Sunspots RUSH: Solar physicists, ladies and gentlemen, are worried. Solar physicists are worried. For those of you in Rio Linda, this is scientists who study the sun. There has been a longer-than-average time with no sunspots on the sun. They're not worried yet, they say, they're not concerned yet. The last time the sun went without sunspots for 50 years led to the little ice age. Now it hasn't been near 50 years here, ladies and gentlemen,...
