But there isn't some liberal with his own radio talkshow, none that comes 
anywhere within the orbit of Rush.  Kinda makes you wonder, if the media is
supposed to be a big liberal conspiracy, why they can't set up one of their
own kind to spread that foul liberal filth in opposition to Rush.

 You can't argue with Limbaugh. 	

Guess what?  You can.  If you choose not to, that's your perogative.  Just
remember the old bumper sticker: "If you can't change your mind, are you sure
you still have one?"

 Sure he

No, no, you've got it backwards; the "facts" are what is delusional.
"Facts" such as "There is a God, abortion is wrong, and these are undeniable
truths of life."

 I think it's

See William F. Buckley, George Will, William Safire, P.J. O'Rourke, etc.

I think it's about the conservatives stop whining about their impotence
in the field of communication and start some meaningful discussion.

    It doesn't have anything to do with just making general comments. It
has a *lot* to do with making specific criticisms of Rush. I post a lot of 
Rush criticism, and IMHO my credibility in making those comments rests 
partly on being polite and respectful while I make them, but mostly it 
rests on actually having seen or heard Rush doing whatever I'm criticizing 
him for.

    This is why I don't think that Rush is a racist; he occasionally has 
non-white anglo-saxon callers and he treats them with the utmost courtesy. 
If they get argumentative with him he responds in kind, but he doesn't 
automatically dismiss what people say just because of their race. Rush and 
I disagree on a great many "minority" issues, however that has everything 
to do with politics and nothing to do with race. I've arrived at this 
conclusion after hearing Rush deal with callers, but I believe that you 
might reach an entirely different (and incorrect) conclusion if you base 
your comments solely on what other people write about Rush. Even John 
Switzer's excellent transcripts cannot really convey the quintessential 
Rush. For that you must watch, listen, and judge for yourself.

    To be honest with you, I didn't see the TV show segment in which the 
Millie/Chelsea switcharoo took place. All I heard was the apology that 
Rush gave on the radio program the next day. From that apology I'm sure 
that Rush agrees with you that making fun of little girls is wrong. How 
many times does he have to apologize for it?

"You Say You Want a Revolution"

The American(read Limbaugh) Revolution of 1992-1996 will be easy to accomplish.
Just follow  these  few steps.

	1.  Tell a friend what station the Limbaugh Show is on in your
	    community. (Radio and TV)

	2.  Tell that same friend to tell 10 friends what station the
	    show is on.

	3.  List the stations at the end of this  post with station  name
            frequency, and city/state.  This will enable other dittoheads
	    to tune in when away from home.  Also good for long distance
	    word of mouth.

	4.  Write to these stations to tell them that you care that they 
	    show these shows.

	5.  Write your Congressman to get a National Resolution proclaiming
	    Rush's Birthday(?).  National Day of Celebration of Rush Limbaugh.

	6.  Call ANY local talk  show you can and sing Rush's praises.

	7.  Make a "pilgrimage"(loose association) to NY to watch the TV Show 
	    being taped.

	8.  Write to your newspaper arguing against any derrogatory story they 
	    may publish about Rush or the Ditto-Head movement.

	9.  Don't vote for anybody who display's Commie-Lib tendacies
	    EVEN for town DOG CATCHER.

	10. Visit your local VA Hospital and tell a veteran you are deeply
 	    Indebted to them for their sacrifices.

	11. Vote a Democrat out of office in 1994
 
	12. If you can  vote in either primary in 1996 vote ABC "Anyone but
	    Clinton"

	13. Vote for Jack Kemp in 96.

 The discrepancy in the price of the consumables and the year in which the eart

 a major bit of psychic guesswork on Adams' part to have predicted the price of
 peanuts in 198x. The other excuse is that the pub  looked so Middle Ages (you
know sideboards and Arsenal Supporters and all that) that perhaps the news of a
 price increase in beer and peanuts hadnt yet reached the landlord.

Subject: MH & Existance of Earth -- spoilers
Date: 23 Nov 92 23:11:34 GMT

Organization: Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

A while back, someone said that if DNA wanted to write a 
sixth book in the series, all he would have to do is 
use the Improbability Drive as a plot device, since the destruction
of Earth made the planet's continued existence infinitely improbable,  

or words to that effect.

This is refuted by examinig the bit where Random first finds
the Guide Mark II, and the Guide, in the shape of a bird-type-thing
goes though a series of test to determine how Random percieves it,  
(and thus how she percieves, period). Reading this, it becomes clear
that DNA is (within the story in any case) asserting that probability is
, in effect, the fifth dimension. The earth can exist in 
one timestream and not in another because its fifth-D axis is a
broken circle (arc, whatever). Annihilating the Earth at every point on 
that axis, which is what I understood the Vogons to be doing in 
the end of the book, does NOT make the existence of Earth infinitely 
improbable, it makes it outright impossible.

Thus the premise of the arg in the first paragraph is
false, and so is its conclusion

Of course, in the Real World, all that really needs to 
happen for there to be a sixth book, (as was true with MH, after
he swore (round the time DGHDA) came out that he would never, ever do 
another Hitchhiker's book)) is for someone to wave a cheque at him
with enough '0''s before the decimal point...
