Defending Rush

I really hate Rush Limbaugh's radio show. I think Rush--or the character he plays on his show--is a lying, obnoxious, manipulative jerk. And I really wish he would use the experience he's been having in Florida to take a harder look at the war on drugs in this country, instead of blaming the whole thing on a political witch hunt. What is happening to Rush is no more a witch hunt than what is happening to every black and Hispanic who gets pulled over for no reason and asked to let police search his car. But I must admit that Rush is getting a raw deal when it comes to the battle over his medical records. And now, it looks like he's lost his last appeal.

The boy's body was found a few blocks from where I live.

Folks around here are very upset at how this whole thing went down.

Now I will admit that the odds of the police catching up with the perps on the road is small. Still.

The incompetence.

The difficulty of course is that with a large number of false positives tthe system is biased against any particular report that doesn't fit the "valid" pattern.
