Why are there about 12 threads on Rush Limbaugh on the front page?
They all say the same thing basically...dupes. Can't anyone find anything better to talk about than that loser? Yeah, the recall has everyone in a pissy mood, but sheesh does substituting that anger into a Rushathon really do anything to help?

The election is over and the media should be hearing from all of us about the CIA leak. That story should not die while a damn entertainer who got bit by a tiger is the top story!!!! EMAIL THE BASTARDS! Where is the investigation???

3. Well my real point is about the leak.
If that isn't being discussed here anymore, no wonder it isn't discussed on TV.

Ian McKellen says 13 -- the number of Oscar nominations The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring received -- is "suddenly one of those lucky numbers." (snip)

The people that wrote this story are late.

Donut people have always know about The Lucky "13" :donut:

2. He's being talked about because he mentioned DU on his show
and a huge influx of dittoheads and freepers caused a massive slowdown.

4. You don't even know that they did that.
The slowdown is probably due to the election results. DU crashed big time after 2002 elections.

You guys give them waaaaaay too much credit.

6. I was up very late last night and the whole evening was without problems
Is slow down only when they archive the threads the following day? Me thinks convert freeper agents at work. This is much different than post coup 2002. Then the site was slow during all periods of heavy traffic.

9. Responding to Freeps only attracts more Freeps. Hasn't enough been said
about this? Once or twice is enough.

To keep posting messages to Rush fans or Rush hymself here is self-defeating. They want to disrupt our board any way they can. We play right into their hands.

10. Exactly my point.
Why are so many DUers tripping over themselves to engage in a conversation with them ON OUR BOARD? Do it over there please.
