    We Americans are not nearly as wealthy as we think we are.  We have that dream, of course, and we're all just a few months or years away from striking it rich and retiring early.  All we ever see on television and in movies is rich people, and since television is the peer group for most Americans, it is natural for us to think of ourselves as being part of a wealthy peer group.

    Millions of Americans went into the recession with whopping credit card bills (the average American's credit card debt is $8,000), mortgages they couldn't really afford, and a mysterious appetite for clothing and consumer goods.  For Stuff.

    __________________Rush Limbaugh was recently tasked with speaking at a Radio Hall of Fame awards ceremony for radio host Neal Boorts, at which he recounted his "farding" incident.  Ages ago - I can't find a specific date, but Rush says it was "before Bill Clinton" so we can assume it was during the Reagan administration - Rush talked about highway safety on the air.  He said that a lot of accidents are caused on the road by "women farding at the wheel."

    Rush Hearts SarahRush Hearts SarahHave you ever wondered, at this late stage of the game, who is going to publicly stand up and defend Sarah Palin?  Who is widely recognized as having cost the Right the presidency?  Who quit her job halfway through for no apparent good reason?  Who has been swaddled in scandal ever since her early days as an Alaskan politician?

    The answer: Rush Limbaugh.

    Rush stands up on his soapbox to defend Sarah Palin in his latest article, which is about how the Left is going to bash her book "Going Rogue."  And he is correct!  The Left did bash her book!  Because Sarah Palin is a stupid and annoying clown, and no one wants to read her book.

    Except Rush Limbaugh.
