Story #1: King Abdullah to America: Screw You!
RUSH: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has told us, "Screw you!" politically speaking. The president of the United States, with a one-day trip to King Abdullah's horse farm outside Riyadh, went over there and asked him to increase their oil production to help lower oil prices and gasoline prices here. And the king said, (paraphrasing) "I'm looking at the market, Mr. President, and I don't see any reason to lower our oil price or to raise our production." So this is twice in five months. Cheney and some others went over there in January, and they were, it is said, politely rebuffed. I don't know. How does this make you feel? Here we are, the United States of America, and we have to go over there and ask those guys to increase production? He says, "No." So what are we going to do? Are we going to increase our own production or are we going to allow these wacko environmentalist leftists, these anti-capitalists to continue to allow us -- and the Democrats, by the way, in Congress, who are their willing accomplices -- to remain prisoners to people around the world who will produce oil but not sufficiently enough to lower the price? The question is ours. It would seem that it's obvious what needs to be done here.
Story #2: Have You Heard About the Ants in Houston?
 RUSH: Have you heard about this mess down in Houston, all these ants? These ants came and apparently there's no way to get rid of these things. There are millions of them. They don't really bite, they're tiny little things, but it's like a little low-budget horror film. These ants, they arrived in Texas aboard a cargo ship. That means they came through a port. Do you think if the Dubai Ports deal had gone through these ants would have been everywhere? Everybody is saying, "What do we do about this?" They're talking to the Orkin people, the exterminator experts, and nothing seems to work. I have a great idea. Somebody told me that the way to get rid of fire ants, the easiest way to do it is go out and get some dry grits and separate dry grits all over the place, outside where the ants are, and the ants, of course, will take the dry grits into wherever the queen is and just do whatever they do, they'll eat it. Then when it rains, the grits expand, and the ants explode. Wouldn't you love to be outside and see that happen? Ants that have ingested dry grits exploding in front of your very eyes. I know, they come back. They're like roaches. They're like liberals. I know they eat fire ants, but that's okay, let 'em eat fire ants and they'll really explode. Put the grits out there, and everything will be fine.

Story #3: NARAL to Poor Hillary: Iron My Shirt
RUSH: Democrats are not all that united. We got some problems, I mean in the Stack of Stuff here, Obama got the endorsement of the abortion gang, NARAL. I am telling you, there are certain women in the Democrat Party who are livid, because they think Hillary should get the NARAL endorsement. Oh, yeah, there were a couple of them on television last night, and these women are livid. Just like I said, for two weeks, these women, basically they're being told go back and iron my shirt, go back and do the dishes. Your glory days have come and gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we needed you at one time on abortion, we needed you and all that, but your days are past. We got this young stud now and this young stud is going to take us to the Promised Land, and we don't need a bunch of bitter, angry hags like you women thinking that this party owes you.
Oh, they're fit to be tied because that's exactly how they think they're being treated, with Hillary being kicked to the curb; Hillary being disrespected. This was her nomination, don't you understand? This was her presidency. I have not seen her on TV today. No, no, no, no. She doesn't exist. You know, she's now been reduced to poor Hillary. All the respect that people had, she's just poor Hillary now. Poor Hillary, poor little Hillary. Even Ann Coulter calls her poor little poor little Hillary now. That's how bad it's gotten for Hillary Clinton, even Ann Coulter calls her poor little Hillary. Mark Levin has stopped calling her Her Thighness. He feels sorry for her. These women that were supporting her, this is their life. Don't you know, they have been forced to eat the dirt, the excrement sandwiches their whole lives as they climbed the ladder of feminism. And the Democrat Party, just like they do with every other group, they use 'em up and when no more needed, kick you aside.
In the convention in November they'll come back and do their best to get these babes' votes. But the Democrats don't have to be united, the liberals don't have to be united in order behave instinctively, so this is what they're doing, this Obama reaction, this is an instinctive liberal reaction. You don't attack us, who the hell do you think you are? You don't attack us, you tell the truth about us, who do you think you are? So they don't have to have a meeting to figure out what the strategy is to respond to this. This is just instinctive. Our side has to have all these planning meetings, strategies, how do we this, and we have our little groups, have these meetings and think tanks and get together and plot all this policy wonk stuff. They just instinctively head down the tracks.
 Story #4: Miller: Beer Drinkers Choosing Cheaper Beer
RUSH: Other news, ladies and gentlemen. Miller Brewing CEO says beer drinkers are trading down to economy beers. "Cash-strapped drinkers are starting to trade down to economy beers." This from Tom Long, who is the CEO: "'We think it's primarily driven by decline of disposable income and pocket money that American consumers are feeling right now.' Long said the volume of beers sold remains stable, but the company expects to sell more lower-priced beers this year if gas prices continue to rise." Sacrifice. We are sacrificing.
Story #5: Did El Nino Help Magellan Cross the Pacific?
RUSH: Science Daily: "A new paper by North Carolina State University archaeologist Dr. Scott Fitzpatrick shows that Ferdinand Magellan's historic circumnavigation of the globe," for those of you in Rio Linda, means he went around the world in the ocean, "was likely influenced in large part by unusual weather conditions -- including what we now know as El Nino -- which eased his passage across the Pacific Ocean, but ultimately led him over a thousand miles from his intended destination." Wow, you mean we had weather back when Ferdinand Magellan was circumnavigating the globe, we had naturally occurring climate cycles back then? He must have had a lot of cows on his fleet, a lot of methane.
Story #6: Tragic Story: Sea Lions Died of Overheating
RUSH: "Sea Lions Died of Overheating," this is from Portland, Oregon, a tragic story. "Six protected sea lions found dead in government traps this month died of overheating, not gunshots, as had been initially suspected. ... The deaths halted a controversial program that allowed Washington state and Oregon to trap and kill sea lions in an effort to stop the mammals from eating endangered salmon." The salmon runs had stopped. So here we are, never content to let nature just be who she is. We kill one animal now to save another. Just can't leave our hands off of it.
Story #7: Mortgage Crisis Helping New-Home Buyers
RUSH: A big story about all these new-home buyers able to get into the market here because the crisis, don't you know, of the credit markets and the subprime, why, all these foreclosures. Why, a lot of people who 18 months ago couldn't anywhere dream of having a house can now get one. It's amazing how this all works.
