A Rush Insight to Ponder: "You live your life according to the traditions and the institutions and traditions that you were raised with and you're trying to teach your kids and you simply try to hold onto these traditions and institutions that have defined decency and goodness and character and you're trying to pass them down." [Rush on the decency, goodness, and character shown by passing down to our kids a degraded environment and substandard education in the name of unsustainable but lucrative economic practices that accrue political advantage.] Dittohead Word of the Day Dittohead Definition Greatest Hits<<< What's YOUR favorite? Dittohead 1. A parishioner of the Church of Rush, an unaware victim of severe chronic Irony deficiency (maybe prescription Drugs would help.) 2. The charming and Colorful language of Rush Radioland. March 9, 2010 Steal Increasing your Wealth in a way that harms other Citizens. They’ve got to be alive, though; happily, it’s not illegal to steal from Unborn Children (see Global Warming Denial). March 7, 2010 Jam How Democrats try to Rush Legislation (in contrast to Republican Ramming), for example taking as little as a year to Debate Health Care Reform! March 4, 2010 Band-aid 1. Kind of Medical treatment, for example for a broken leg. 2 After you Start Over, a kind of treatment for a broken Health Care system. March 3, 2010 Start Over A GOP phrase that, when applied to Health Care Reform, means “Do something else. How about a Tax Cut for the Rich?” March 2, 2010 Scrap the Bill 1. Taking a piece of currency representing significant amount of your effort over the last year (say, a $1,000 Bill) and running it through the shredder. 2. The GOP Legislative Strategy for Health Care Reform. March 1, 2010 Setup Having to agree to participate in the President’s Televised Negotiations on Health Care Reform because you had previously criticized him for not televising such negotiations. Feb 26, 2010 Reconciliation 1. A coming together of former Enemies. 2. A Legislative ploy to screw the other side by Ramming through a Bill. Feb 24, 2010 Cooties 1. In the playground, a characteristic of an otherwise desirable toy that’s been touched by a yucky playmate. 2. In the Senate, pretty much the same thing, when the toy is a Jobs or Stimulus Bill with Tax Cuts and the yucky playmate is the President of the United States. Feb 23, 2010 Military Trial A Terrorist Recruiting Tool for turning a low-life into a Holy Warrior. Feb 22, 2010 Teen Psychology The way you stop a teenager from doing something, by doing the same thing. No way they want to be seen agreeing with an adult! It’s like asking a Dittohead Politician about Obama supporting a position he previously Held. Feb 20, 2010 Hold 1. Derailing installation of dozens of the President’s appointees, as recently performed by the Senator from Toyota, Shelby of Alabama. 2. The reason he’s doing it, so that Alabama can hold ribbon-cutting ceremonies for all the buildings his courageous stand for Pork is intended to produce. Feb 17, 2010 Breeding 1. As recently revealed by a Dittohead South Carolina Politician (is there any other kind?), the Problem that arises from feeding stray animals and Poor Children, i.e. they reproduce. 2. The quality not demonstrated by his opinion. Feb 16, 2010 Mantle of Fiscal Conservatism The garment the GOP is donning to flaunt the Moral superiority of their position that only Republican Presidents are allowed to run up big Deficits. Feb 15, 2010 President's Day It’s good that George W. is being recognized but his name should really be front and center. How about “George W. Bush and Some Other Guys Day?” (You didn’t think we meant that first George, did you? He wasn’t even a Republican!) Feb 14, 2010 Valentines Day A day to recognize the ones you Love the most. Let’s give the Base another Tax Cut! Feb 13, 2010 Olympics A nice (and rare) chance to see foreigners on Television who aren’t rioting because of us. Feb 12, 2010 Prophecy Sarah Palin’s prediction of Republican ascendancy. In her case it’s pronounced Profit-cy. Feb 11, 2010 Jim Crow The system of Apartheid in the Old South. When the Tea Party talks about traditional Values, it’s one of the things they mean. Feb 10, 2010 Tea Party A Political movement founded on All-American Principles. It’s named for one in particular: Takeback the Eminence of Anglos. Feb 9, 2010 Digital 1. Relating to modern technology, like Obama’s use of a Teleprompter. 2. Relating to fingers and hands, like Palin’s writing her Speech notes on her palm. Feb 7, 2010 Super Bowl The sports equivalent of Reelection. For example, both football and Politics have Whistleblowers. Football has no Swift Boating, though. No wonder the games are usually boring! Feb 4, 2010 Groundhog Day An annual event during which (in the GOP version) the Elephant emerges from his lair and, based on whether he sees the shadow of Debt, signals the tough Choice between Tax Cuts or more Pork. His choice is always “both.” Feb 3, 2010 Derail 1. A form of Terrorism perpetrated against innocent Citizens who merely want to get from point A to point B. 2. A Winning Political Strategy, particularly when it causes a Crisis, since Voters might Elect us to clean up the damage. Jan 31, 2010 GOP Healthcare Alternative A program of lawsuit caps and cross-State purchase of Health Insurance. While it won’t cover new Patients or Preexisting Conditions, it will make Alabama insurance Executives and incompetent Doctors Richer. In short, our standard Target Medical Outcome! Jan 30, 2010 Style The way you do things. For example, the style of the House is boisterous while the style of the Supreme Court is sedate. That’s why the shout You Lie! from the congressman and the mouthed words “it’s not True” by Justice Alito, both said during a State of the Union Speech, are actually exactly equivalent. Jan 27, 2010 State of the Union 1. “Strong.” 2. When it isn’t, see 1. Jan 26, 2010 Take Back America The Citizen’s movement to preserve the Freedom to have our retirement savings evaporate when traders pursuing big Bonuses crash the system. Jan 25, 2010 Take Back America The Citizen’s movement to preserve the Freedom the Supreme Court has just found in the Constitution for Foreign Corporations to Spend unlimited amounts of Money to defeat US Candidates they don’t like.

Jan 23, 2010 Take Back America The Citizen’s movement to preserve our Freedom to be denied coverage for Preexisting Conditions. Jan 20, 2010 Donate Giving away Money without getting anything at all back, for example to Conservative Political Candidates (Wink-Wink!) or to the earthquake-devastated Citizens of Haiti (Liberal!). Jan 19, 2010 Politicize A word that has the same meaning for Policy that “marinade” has for turkey, which is what Rush came across as when he had Obama politicizing the Disaster in Haiti. Jan 18, 2010 Martin Luther King Day When the idea came up we argued that “he shouldn’t be the only American with his own holiday.” We let it go, though, since holidays, like Tax Cuts, reduce Government revenues. Who says we never give an inch? Jan 16, 2010 $arah Securing Amazing Riches from Asinine Harangues Jan 14, 2010 Terrorist Trials Our proposed tweak to the Constitution to allow bad kinds of Terrorists to be tried as Enemy Combatants, as long as good kinds of terrorists like the Abortion Doctor Shooter remain Free to Lawyer Up. Jan 12, 2010 Lawyered Up A bad State of Affairs. Going by the Constitution for Terrorists like the Underwear Bomber means that 1) he’s harder to Torture and (especially) 2) Trial Lawyers have more Money to give to Democrats. Jan 9, 2010 Underwear Bomber The latest Terrorist in the tradition of Shoe Bomber Richard Reid and Lipstick Bomber Sarah Palin. At least her bombs don't fizzle! Jan 7, 2010 Avatar A body being run by a remote operator. Examples include (in Sci-Fi) the Na’vi body run remotely by Jake Scully and (in Politics) the Legislative bodies run remotely by Rush Limbaugh. Jan 5, 2010 Trial Lawyers The group we most Love to Hate, because of all the Money they give to Democrats. There are Limits to how far we’re willing to go to spite them, however. For example, we’re against Health Care Reform even though it will cost trial Lawyers all the Business they’re now getting when Patients are forced to Sue Doctors when that can’t Pay Medical Bills for lack of Health Insurance. Jan 4, 2010 Reading A key Republican Interest to which we turn in moments of Crisis, for example George W Bush reading My Pet Goat while the Country was under attack on 9/11 and Dittohead Senator Coburn requiring a 700 page Bill to be read on the Floor of the Senate as the country was under attack from the prospect of Health Insurance Reform. Jan 2, 2010 Domicile Where you spend the most time, usually because it’s your favorite place, a place where you're Happy. Our preferred domicile is Fantasyland (see Global Warming Denial). Jan 1, 2010 New Year’s Day The holiday where everyone makes resolutions to do better in the coming year. Ours are the same as last year: to take in more Money and win more Elections. That’s actually just one resolution, but it’s all we need. Dec 31, 2009 Hold 1. A senatorial prerogative, for example the hold GOP Senator DeMint has put on a new head of the Department of Homeland Security for something having to do with unions. 2. A pause in Warfare, for example Terrorists graciously putting their attacks on hold until Senator DeMint’s Labor concerns have been met. Dec 30, 2009 Extortion A Crime committed when someone forces their will on others, for example the standard Republican senatorial ploy of holding Presidential Department of Homeland Security appointments hostage until their pet demand is met (which is also sort of like kidnapping!)
