The kid is amazing (especially considering his humble State of origin) and Rachel Maddow seems very competent as a talk show host. But does she have as much "talent on loan from God" as Rush Limbo-rock (how low can he go?...)

I clicked on the link and it was a video about torture and getting one's nuts crushed. Did I miss something?

I'm sure you meant 'humble in their State of superiority'. Wink I think that was covered in the Bagavad Gita, in the section right before declaring Iowa pork a vegetable. I'm sure you remember.


Ummm....There may have been a foul-up in the original link. Mea culpa. Try this one.

That question may have been answered today:

Decoding Limbaugh
Posted by Hendrik Hertzberg


Obama seems to pronounce the word I�ve boldfaced as �ax.� Limbaugh, after saying �Did you catch that?� and playing the sound bite a second time, sneers, �Obama can turn on that black dialect when he wants to and turn it off.� Then he suggests that the incorrect pronunciation was purposely spelled that way on the teleprompter...

If you listen carefully, Obama actually pronounces it �aksk.� This may seem a small point, but it reinforces a larger one: Obama�s mispronunciation obviously had nothing to do with �black dialect.� It was, literally, a slip of the tongue, precipitated by what comes immediately before it in the same sentence: �As a condition of receiving access�� Pronounced ak-sess.
