Let me see if I understand what you just said (have pity on me, I'm
apparently a mindless follower, and that makes it difficult for me
to understand multi-syllable words).

1 - My purchase of "The Way Things Ought To Be," regardless of the reason,
is a sure sign of the decline of America.
2 - I'm a common man who doesn't want to think too hard.
3 - I wish that we could turn America back to a time when white men reigned
supreme (so I am obviously a racist and a sexist)
4 - I'm not tasteless, I just have bad taste.
5 - I'm only a pseudo-intellectual, and thus, worthy of Harry Tuttle's 
hatred.
6 - I'm being had, and I'm too stooopid to know it. 

Man, I'd probably be real insulted if I only had the brains to realize
what this all meant!!!  Thank God I'm too stupid to know any better!!!

Does this group have a FAQ posting?
If so where can I FTP a copy?

If not the questions I have are:

1) what is RL's compuserv address

2) what is RL's FAX number?

3) Where can I find a station list for the RL TV show?

Thanks

The Tenth?  The one that says "The powers not delegated to the

Well, Now that PRESIDENT CLINTON will be in the White House, I imagine
that ole Rush Limburger should be on the last train to Dinosaur Land.
I'll miss Rush when he's gone. 

Hey folks.  The eighties are over.  Get on with your lives.  Rush, I
hope you enjoyed your fifteen minutes of fame. Now maybe you and Danny
Quayle can go cry in your collective beers somewhere.

I hope the far right wing of the Republican party (Rush included) can
comprehend what this election said.  

No, you do not represent the views of mainstream America.
No, we do not care whether Clinton was in Vietnam or not.
Yes, we do care if our President and his party has lost touch with
reality and commmon sense.

Bye, bye Rush.  You probably don't read these posts, but I guess now
you'll have lots of time to.  The pink slip is on its way...

Has anyone thought about what happened in Iran the other day:

Sound familiar to anyone.
I just hope that we don't get a repeat of what happened under Carter
but the way it looks now it will happen sooner rather than later.
Also rember the last time we went into a period of isolation from the
rest of the world (WWI, WWII) we were lucky because we had a one year
lag time to be able to go from a peace time economy to a war time economy;
we wont be so lucky this time.

Call your Congressman and tell them to keep the Military as it is
we can not afford to not have one in this day and age.

If you do not believe me go ask someone in the military and they can tell
you alot more than I can here.

Why should I call Mr. Clinton "President Clinton" when he himself didn't have 
enough respect for the office to refer to "Mr. Bush" as President Bush.  
Regardless of how little he likes or respects the man, he should have had 
enough respect for the office to refer to the office holder by the appropriate
title.  Ok, I'll say it: "President Clinton" but only because I DO have respect
for the office (Clinton hasn't earned my total respect yet, but I am 
optimistic).  Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned...

Hey, I have no problem with it and I understand completely.
I know that my sig used to read,
"An anti-PC, pro-life, bleeding heart liberal card-carrying member of the ACLU"
and I got all kinds of bitching from conservatives; that, of course,
only prompted me to keep it permanently (up until last week but it will
prob. return in a few weeks). I know that anything I can do to annoy
conservatives (who make a point of annoying me), like keeping up my
Clinton/Gore sign until they are officially elected by the Elec
College, I try and do it. Therefore, I appreciate your situation
(even though I disagree with it). Good luck and dont let the
radical left (ie: PC'ers) push you around.

It is likely that Clinton will get to nominate at least one Supreme Court 
Justice during his First Term (roll that around in your mouths, and savor 
the implication of 'first' versus 'only' (you know, like Bush's _only_ term)).
Who do you think makes dittoheads cringe more;

1) Supreme Court Justice Mario Cuomo
2) Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton
3) Supreme Court Justice Anita Hill
4) Supreme Court Justice Jimmy Carter

Yes, dittoheads, its time for NIGHTMARE ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE!!!!

(P.S.  I liked the wit and cleverness of "Taxula", even if I didn't
agree with the content)

(P.P.S.  Personally, I don't think any of these people would be appointed.
I personally think Clinton will pick a moderate, instead of the idealogues
that the failed president of a once great nation has been picking...
(Gee, how does that phrase feel on the other foot, Guys?   So far,
Clinton's been elected President at LEAST as many times as Bush has.))

(P.P.P.S. Just wanted to shake up your day a little. After all, as 
Rush says, don't take yourselves so seriously!)

  As a former Los Angelean (until April '92), I have listened to 
  Herschensohn for about 10 years on the KABC Radio Ken and Barkley
  show in the morning where, except for his brief failed campaigns
  for office (this is his third), he is the 8:25 am conservative
  commentator.  Bruce is a real arrogant pompous ass, IMHO.  He
  allows for no compromise, no open discussion and no room for
  differences.  Boxer almost LOST the election because she ran
  a highly inept campaign.  I hope she is a better Senator than
  she was a Congressperson and campaigner.  Hershensohn, however,
  instigated the mailings which attacked Boxer.  What was amazing
  was not how she fought back, but was that she did so at all.  
  She almost just fell asleep until the last week, at which point
  she managed to do just enough nasty campaigning to hold on to
  a slim lead.  I agree with Mitch that Herschensohn was the only
  local (and national) candidate who made such a graceless appearance
  as the one he gave at 11 pm Tuesday evening.  However, for those
  who don't remember, this is typical Hershensohn, not something
  new.  He did the same thing six years ago and four years ago
  when he ran for Senator in the primaries.  He was particularly
  nasty to Pete Wilson four years ago.
