I wonder if Rush even knows that he has lost a large audience including me in the Knoxville area. What happened was that he has stuck with Citadel Broadcasting Co. in this area, which went bankrupt last year. Coming out of bankruptcy, they no longer can afford the rental of 100,000 watt Oak Ridge Based WKNOX radio tower, and they now have only 9000 watts that they are broadcasting with. His FM frequency went from 100.3 to 98.7. Hannity and Mark Levin also are in the same situation. It now takes a real good radio and a closer proximity to the new Citadel tower to receive Rush on radio. We would love for Rush to get back with 100.3 which has the great power.

Well, isn't this a kick in the butt! We have another story about the "rich" not spending their money because they're worried about the economy, and as a result, the economy sucks. (Maybe I should say, "still sucks".)

This one's in the New York Times, headlined: "Wealthy Reduce Buying in Blow to the Recovery". Appropriately, the reporter is named Motoko Rich. He writes, "The economic recovery has been helped in large part by the spending of the most affluent. Now, even the rich appear to be tightening their belts."

It was just a couple of weeks ago -- the esteemed Democrat Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, demonstrated her grasp of economics when she told reporters that extending unemployment benefits creates jobs: "It injects demand into the economy," and "creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name," she said.

Now we have details on another alleged "job creator" pushed by Democrats, thanks to the Government Accountability Office -- which tracked Porkulus funds that were supposed to "create or save" jobs in the education sector.

My friends, the reality of what we're stuck with as president for the next few years comes crashing through when you hear things like this:

During an interview with an Israeli TV station, Obama was asked about the "anxiety" some Israelis have about him. Our august leader said: "Some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion."

He then resorted to the some-of-my-best-friends-are-Jewish defense, telling the reporter: "Ironically, I've got a chief of staff named Rahm Israel Emanuel." Obama then claimed that his "closeness to the Jewish American community" was "likely what propelled him" into the US Senate.

Trouble in utopia, my friends. Teacher's unions are upset with Obama. For two years running, prior to his Immaculation, Obama addressed the summer conventions of the National Teachers Association and the American Federation of Teachers. This year, he was nowhere to be found. Union officials did not even bother asking anybody else in his administration to show up because they feared they'd be heckled.

In fact, NEA head Dennis Van Roekel blasted Obama with red-meat rhetoric usually reserved for Republican presidents He said, "Today our members face the most anti-educator, anti-union, anti-student environment I have ever experienced," adding, "This is not the change I hoped for."

Well, a Michigan prosecutor is pressing the legislature to enact a law requiring parents to serve three days in jail for repeatedly missing parent-teacher conferences. Now, if that sounds a little harsh, listen further.

Well, the Politico reports (maybe I should say, laments) the pickle the Democrats find themselves in. With the summer campaign season underway and elections looming, the economy is slowing, unemployment is raging, and the party of Obama has "few options for a quick fix."

You see, in normal circumstances, Democrats would just turn on the spigot and print up enough election-year money to buy their way out of horrible poll numbers. In addition to the usual slush funds they pass out via a litany of government programs, they ordinarily would also dole out a few million in "walkin' around money" that community activists hand out to ensure voter turnout in blue-state neighborhoods.

A couple of education stories in the news. First, from Springfield, Massachusetts, where in May the school district distributed exams to thousands of 11th and 12th graders that were "rife with spelling, grammatical, and factual errors." Simple words were misspelled. Among some 100 errors, "sake" in the phrase "for God's sake," was spelled S-K-A-E.

On the one hand, Obama and the Democrats tell us that Big Government is the answer. So they took over Big Auto, they took over housing, and health care. Now they're in the midst of taking over banking and Big Energy. They've inserted their tentacles deeper into the private sector, despite a dismal track record. Medicaid and Medicare are bankrupt, Government Motors is billions in debt, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own trillions in worthless subprime home notes, and Obama can't even plug the hole in the Gulf.

On the other hand, they tell us Big Government's not the answer:

Democrats, according to Nancy Pelosi, had to pass health care reform in order for us to find out what's in it. So they passed Obamacare; people are now finding what's in it.

Now, one of the Democrats' original big selling points was their claim that uninsured "children" up to age 26 would immediately be put on their parents' insurance plans, and life would be beautiful.
