Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Breaking Free From Rush
The Progress Report wrote Breaking Free From Rush. It briefly describes the current rantings and effects of Rush Limbaugh. Interesting, if like me, you pay no attention to him whatsoever.
At several points in the last 15 years or so, I've forgotten that Rush Limbaugh exists. He's always been a valueless moron who built up a following of other morons devoid of the capacity for introspection, and as such he blended perfectly with the last few thousand people on the planet who thought Bush 43 was doing a "heckuva job" as president.
Now that someone with a brain, a spine and actual personal values is president, the fat gasbag changes his tune... it's no longer unpatriotic and un-American to hope the president fails, it seems, even though it was apparently horrible to do so while the former president was actually failing the American people so miserably.
Every time I'm reminded of Rush, I marvel at the fact that he apparently still has listeners. He's lucky that HIS listeners are the ones who'd be likely to assassinate someone with whom they disagree.
