Operation Subvert Heterosexuality
If you ever want to know how irrational the human herd is, just utter the word "sexual" at a family gathering or at the nearest bus stop. But if you want to see it stampede and run off a cliff, just say "homosexual." It's the "homo" part that really makes for thundering hooves.

Despite Rehab, Rush Still Addicted to Himself
"You can boil it down to one real simple essence: I can't be responsible for anybody's happiness but my own, and if I allow somebody else the power to determine my happiness, then...well...that's something I don't want to do. I can't do any longer. I put myself first. Doesn't mean be rudely selfish. It just means I can't depend on other people to make me happy. I have to do that myself. I'm the only one who has control over that. " Thus spake Rush Limbaugh, after spending five weeks in rehab for his hard drug addiction.
In other words, Rush Limbaugh offers two explanations for his drug addiction: (1) he had tried to make other people happy, and (2) he depended on other people to make him happy.
Explanation #2 makes more sense, because Rush did depend on other people to make him happy, especially the pusher who kept him loaded with Oxycontin.

Dubya Triumphant
"About 14,000 police will be on duty during the president's four-day visit to Britain. Several hundred American agents will also guard Mr. Bush."
If Dubya had been planning to visit beautiful downtown Baghdad, you could understand the security arrangements. But when the President of the United States requires the protection of 14,000 British policemen and hundreds of American agents in order to visit beautiful downtown London, you know that up is down and down is up.
