Rush Limbaugh was taken to the hospital with chest pains.

As an interesting little experiment, before I’ve seen any such responses, I suggest you go around the internet and look at liberal responses to this, then come back here and look at conservative (or conservative-libertarian) responses to hospitalizations of Teddy Kennedy and Robert Byrd (among others). Then see which side of the political spectrum is really “compassionate.”

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Limbaugh.

Also, a quick, unrelated note: I have internet again, no thanks to the storm a couple of weeks ago. Just in time to get hit by a new storm this weekend. Yay.

I turned in my Read 100 list to the Kanawha County library earlier this week, and obtained my “gold” (yellow) library card. I realize that this is a pretty minor accomplishment, but I’m still very pleased.

I’m less pleased about the fact that my Xbox 360 died, again, but rumors that this fact had anything to do with my completion of the Read 100 challenge are absolutely incorrect.

Writing this as I’m watching the episode… Spoilers will abound.
