On the Bluster of Rush Limbaugh

“Among ridiculous things nothing is more ridiculous than ridiculous rage”
-Thomas Paine

Bluster and swagger, such as the type practiced daily by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, are not the domain of any prescient wisdom or truly moral indignation.

It merely calls attention to itself and, more often than not, shows itself for what it is: a cheap and cynical plea for attention. The value of Rush Limbaugh’s words go up in the same cigar smoke that waft up from his “golden” microphone as he goes on and on in his “ridiculous rage”, all of it diminishing into nothingness.

To give such pointless rage any credence is to give it much more than it deserves.
