Just Breaking: Bomb Squad Called To Rush Limbaugh's Palm Beach Home

[Timothy]

Georgetown really costs about $45,000 per semester???

get outtahere!

 

General undergrad tuition is about 41K annually with a boatload of extra fees!

[Tyler Durden]

so we are talking $164K at the end of four years.

who is paying for this Fluke girl's tuition?

I am guessing that with Georgetown being a private school we don't get to see what the professors are making.

Back when I was trying to go to grad school for psychology at a State school, I went to the library and asked for "the Book".

This was in 2004.

So the book listed what the prof's were making, out of the 20 to 30 Ph.D'ed  prof's in the psych department, only 4 were making more than $50 grand a year.  I quit school right then and there and went back to work.

getting back on topic....if this Fluke girl was a capitalist instead of a socialist she'd at least be able to leverage her "assets" into free drinks or free dinners.

I bet within 3 years we will be hearing her name again in like a Monica Lewinsky/intern type incident.

That was for general studies.  Get into the law department and you're pushing 70K for tuition with the aforementioned boatload of fees tacked on as well.

Our resident Professor FQ went to Georgetown on the public's dime through the ROTC program.  He could shed further light on the subject if he wasn't taking care of his ailing Pop!

It's a mite pricey fer true!

way back when, in like the 1988 or 1989 time frame, the Army ROTC unit at Washington University in St. Louis, MO wanted me to go there.  an ROTC scholarship wasn't going to pay for all the tuition though.  I think it was either 80% or 8,000 dollars per semester, whichever is higher.  IIRC, back then tuition was $12,000 per semester, so I was going to have come up with something close to $4,000 out of my own pocket.

I did get a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship that I was planning on taking to Embry-Riddle at Daytona Beach Florida. Embry-Riddle was then going to cover room and board because of the 4 year ROTC scholarship.

Then the Air Force gave me a 3.5 year scholarship to Embry-Riddle at Prescott, AZ .

Then at the last minute on May 3rd, 1990, Rep. Jerry Costello called my high school to offer me an appointment to the Air Force Academy or West Point.  I wanted to fly, so naturally took USAFA....then Bill Clinton became the Prez in 1992 and there went the budget for pilot training slots.   

I should have gone to ERAU at Daytona and partied my a$$ off instead.

anywhooo....long story short....I don't fault anyone for getting edu-ma-cated on the taxpayer's dime.  More power to 'em.

I don't have any problem with it either as long as they do the time afterward!  Hell, I went to school for a while on the GI Bill myself!

The real one too, not the anemic one they have today!  Me being the smart sumbitch I am, never finish though....and my ten years came and went.  Life finds a way to get in the way sometimes!  We named her Meggie and I wouldn't change it for a moment!

Since this story has twisted around to Rush and his comments on Sandra Fluke.  Today I read that Pres. Obama called her, and "they spoke for several minutes" according to the "White House."  Don't you just love that that building is capable of speaking    The Pres. offered his support, and I'm sure he apologized on behalf of all Americans while he was at it.

I am not a Rush fan, and I have only heard his show a few times - I don't feel deprived!  One thing I read last year in an interview of Rush is that he bills himself as a satirist.  Explains why I don't like his show - Satire is high on my list of not likes.  Bill Maher and Sen. Al Franken are also satirists.  Does our Pres. call people and offer his support when Bill uses profanity and slurs to describe them?

Mr. President, you have a job to do!  A very serious job to do!  I know I'm asking you to change your pattern of work ethic and maturity of over 37 months in office, but get out of the entertainment industry, and get back to work!

[Timothy]

Obama is just pandering since he's pissed off the base of his party for the last three years.

Your assessment of Rush is right on the money!  I don't think I've listened to anything from Rush in it's entirety either.

[Timothy]

Here's a question!  Why does Limbaugh live in the ultra liberal community of Palm Beach anyway?

[Rastus]

I used to listen to Rush back in the early to mid-90's.  That's when I was traveling a bit.  I haven't had time to tune in for more than a hour every three months or so since then.  In my mind's eye, I perceive he changed up what and how he does things.

I do miss G Gordon Liddy of the late 80's and very early 90's.  Old age seemed to take over before the mid-90's.  I miss what he was.
