Jock-Shock: Has Rush Limbaugh just become the RNC's new speech-writer?

Judging from last week's speeches at the Republican national convention, all I can assume is that Rush Limbaugh wrote most of the material. The speeches were filled with such folksy half-truths, slurs and inuendoes that it appears Rush is becoming the RNC's new speech-writer and is replacing the more traditional kind who actually might have done their homework and/or talked about serious issues and proposed actual solutions to all the terribly distressing problems now facing America.

Did I say half-lies? What am I thinking! I'm now over here in China and functioning on only a few hours of sleep due to jet-lag. Please forgive me. "Half-lies?" Only half-lies? Focus, here, Jane. Like Rush, our guys in Minneapolis apparently have perfected the art of LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH.

And expect more of the same in the days, weeks and years to come.

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
