RUSH: Kathryn and I personally delivered Two If By Tea to Gladys and her family last week.

Do Your Show Prep: Everything Rush reads to prepare for the show.

Some of the topics we're loaded with today: Obama, Sarko Rip Israel and Bibi || More Occupy Chaos || Giddy Cain Accuser Makes Media Rounds

RUSH: Well, it's gonna be a weird day. Everything tastes horrible. The coffee tastes horrible; the electronic cigarettes taste horrible; food tastes horrible; everything tastes horrible. I got three rotten days ahead of me, I ought to just quit.

RUSH: We've had liberalism roaring through our culture for 50 years. At times it has been sneaky, slow, deliberate. At other times it has roared its way through.

CALLER: I just wanted to testify that that college graduate last week that you talked to might not have heard anything you had to say about the 1%, but I definitely did -- and it was so inspiring. Because, you know, as a student who wants to work hard and make her way in the world, I don't know what's gonna happen, but everything you said about how no one can decide who's going to succeed and who's not and only we can decide that; it was so inspiring and I just can't thank you enough for that.

RUSH: Who's giving me static? Carol Costello at CNN.

RUSH: Joe Paterno, up until now, has had something that very few people in this country die with -- and that's an impeccable reputation. But that's gone now.

RUSH: It's another one of these myths that the poor are so poor, and so without, that all they can eat is this rotgut, poison fast food.

RUSH: We're talking about Herman Cain and what he said to people in the nineties -- and, meanwhile....

CALLER: If you're a man who espouses Christian values, especially if you're a married man, biblical values, you don't allow yourself, Rush, to be in positions where you're alone with women.

RUSH: I want to go back to this New York Daily News story of September 13th, 1998...

RUSH: Carol Costello, CNN, is so upset over my correct pronunciation of the name of the latest aggrieved victim of Herman Cain, Sharon Bialek.  I am sure that Carol Costello was furious when the president and others were calling Tea Party activists, millions of people, that is, including women, tea baggers.  That had to drive Costello crazy, I'm sure.  I know she had to denounce that, right?  And Obama, and the others who were calling decent Americans tea baggers?  So if a woman alone with a man called the guy a tea bagger or a man alone with a woman called the woman a tea bagger, that would be worth a formal complaint, no?  But when a president does it, smears an entire movement, well, who cares, it's just Obama.  That's just politics, Rush.

Well, here’s some change! Many states are now outsourcing the work that pricey government workers used to do to private sector contract employees. They charge less, and they don’t burden state budgets with extravagant pension and benefit plans. The New York Times isn’t happy.
