About Rush Limbaugh - republican radio host

Hello Friends

Today it’s all about Rush Limbaugh. The infamous and influential republican radio host from Missouri.
Credits go to Alex, for suggesting the topic last week.

Limbaugh is amongst other things famous for making fun of Michael J. Fox who has Parkinson’s Disease and his somewhat dumb remarks on things like feminism: “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.”

The Rush Limbaugh Show is where he on the weekdays expresses his conservative values on the air and serves as a commentator of political events.  It’s actually quite entertaining and sometimes controversial. Especially when he recently said, that he wish President Obama will fail. Although he really was saying that he hopes Obamas politics will fail and not the man himself (he stressed this by pointing out that Obama is a human being), the qoute speaks for itself.

Bill Maher commented: ‘I don’t hold it against Rush, people say all kinds of crazy shit, when they’re high.’

Rush Limbaugh was in 2003 investigated illegally obtaining  prescription drugs. He had admitted his addiction to drugs - a topic he has ranted about often on his show. Needles to say, he has stated that he is against drug abuse and believes in duggers should go to jail.

Since then several episodes in the saga of Limbaughs drug abuse has been aired.
I guess Maher’s right. Just ignore the guy.

But keep him out the office, will ya?

The song is unusual, in that musical mastermind Erik Nørgaard participates on all sorts of weird instruments. Trumpet, trombone, accordion and a very special one in the beginning of the second verse.
Guess what it is, and you are rewarded with a T-shirt from the upcoming One Weekly Gun line!

So you want an empty throne
So you can pick up the pieces alone
And it seems, that you know
You are speaking in a feverish tone

But we’re gonna tell your momma
We’re gonna tell your friends
That people on drugs can say the craziest things
So yell and scream
You’re just wasting your time
We won’t spend our days with a painkilled mind

You don’t care, what you do
You just want some more quat to chew
Smoke some pot, swallow pills
Get a high on viagra of you will

But we will tell your daddy
And your children too
That they should not take any notice of you
Stop calling you a jackass
Stop calling you a jerk
You’re only just an overweight teenager

People on drugs can say the craziest things
People on drugs can say the craziest things
Women’s rights and the environment
Will have to work around this fruitcake

We’re gonna tell your momma
We’re gonna tell your friends
That people on drugs can say the craziest things
So yell and scream
You’re just wasting your time
We won’t spend our days with a painkilled mind

Week 36 - The remains of Nicolaus Copernicus

The face of Nicolaus Copernicus

Hi world

This week saw the solving of one of the great mysteries of historic astronomy, as the remains of the Polish scientist Nicolaus Copernicus has been confirmed. Parts of him was actually found three years ago, but until now it has only been a qualified guess, that it was Copernicus. DNA-tests solved the mystery.

Nicolaus Copernicus believed in God

Copernicus - or Kopernikus, as he is known in German writings - is the father of our astnomic perception today. Most notably he discovered, that the earth circles around the sun, as opposed to what was believed in his day. Back then the common perception was, that the earth is the center of all things - including the universe.

This week’s song is a delayed obituary and is dedicated to Copernicus and his legacy.

We love Copernicus

Born in 1473
Lived nearly half-way through the 1600th century
He spoke for heliocentric cosmology
Which forms the base of modern astronomy

Although not the first
To descibe the Earth
As not being the center of the Universe

Concerns about his time’s mentality
Delayed publication of his master piece
On the day of death in 1543
Recieved the copy of the epiphany

De Revolutionibus
By Copernicus
Consists of seven assumptions divided into six books.

We love Copernicus
We love Copernicus
We love Copernicus
We love him as one of us
