You are about to share in a passion of mine...a little fun with audio. This whole project started as an experiment a while back, just after I received a soundcard for Christmas. Like most people, I have an interest in politics and current events -- which is why I generally listen to Rush's show several hours a week. I was always amazed that Rush could wax eloquently during his monologues (usually when reading from his pile of paperwork), then turn right around and stammer like a stage-struck schoolchild when confronted by callers with opposing views. No doubt that's one of the reasons his callers are so meticulously screened before being allowed on the air.

So I started digitizing short takes of Rush's gibberish, and playing them to friends -- who of course laughed hysterically. I also found it an amusing passtime to "spin" Rush's mug shot, so we'll have fun with a few images as well!

Is Rush, like the mighty Wizard of Oz, tired of hiding behind a powerful microphone? Is Rush on the verge of a nervous breakdown? Will he retreat to Florida to feed the seagulls in peace? Will he abandon scorched-earth radio conservativism and his adoring hordes of dittoheads? Is he weary of doing all the heavy lifting for the GOP? Can Rush hang on for one more election? Who knows? Hell, Rush might be with us for another twenty years. But hey, that means twenty more years of hilarious, side-splitting sound bites!

Here's a quick sample...some of Rush's masterpieces -- guaranteed to tickle your funnybone! Just click on the .wav file to hear Rush.

Which half of Rush's brain has a built-in echo chamber!.................................	41 kb	i5.wav
The "right" half?....................................................	31 kb	if_if2.wav
...Or the half that's tied behind his back?.................................................	37 kb	if_if.wav

It is now just minutes until show time. While you're in the lobby, why not put some popcorn in the microwave, get something cold to sip on, and...call some friends over for the show! Keep in mind the sound bites are are actual recordings from his radio broadcast and are not edited or manipulated in any fashion. Some sections are "audio skits," so try to take'm in order.

Now, what the hell is a "nug?".................................	16 kb	nug1.wav
There it is again! Just what IS a nug???....................................................	41 kb	nug2.wav
