re: Question for fellow Rush listeners

Stopped listening to Rush about 15 years ago. Apart from some clever humor segments (the Homeless Update, with Clarence Frogman Henry's "Ain't Got a Home" playing in the background was stellar!), it just got to be the same thing over and over again. So just tell us why you didn't listen as much as you normally do.

Already explained about infomercials. But, the homeless update reminds me of the first time I discovered the show.

I had researched Mitch Snyder's falsification of Homeless data in the 80s to discredit Ronald Reagan. I knew it was a scam. So, while driving in the car I heard this guy say "And after this break we'll have a Homeless Update."

I thought "What a fricking moron. He doesn't know that homelessness is a scam by Mitch Snyder and a political ruse by the Democrats."

I channel surfed music until I got back to Rush's show and he was saying everything I already knew about Snyder. I was amazed.

For those of you not familiar with Snyder..



He scammed millions of dollars from the federal govt. The media loved him because he blamed Reagan for homelessness that did not exist.
