RUSH: Sonja Lyubomirsky. Let me see if it tells us who she is. Yeah, she's a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, is the author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want, Sonja Lyubomirsky. I hope I'm doing her name justice. "Why We're Still Happy," is the title of the piece. Why we are still happy. This is a fascinating column, by the way. While we're still happy in the midst of a depression, or recession, with no future other...

RUSH: I love this Blago story. Blago sticking it to the Democrats in Washington and sticking it to The One, The Messiah, the Most Merciful, Barack Obama. This Roland Burris guy holding a press conference now saying, "Hey, I'm going, Illinois needs full representation." As I said earlier today, Mr. Burris, if Harry Reid will not seat you, go to Denny's. They will seat you if Harry Reid will not. Try this.

Now, I don't know if Simon Tisdall is a token conservative writer at the Guardian, but nevertheless the Guardian, ladies and gentlemen, is a leftist extremist rag. "Barack Obama's chances of making a fresh start in US relations with the Muslim world, and the Middle East in particular, appear to diminish with each new wave of Israeli...
