"I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Going to Take it Anymore!" Remember "Network"? Watch it again real soon; compare today's Cable and TV news. That movie was dead on. Today, Truth, Justice & the American Way are all in peril and I am mad as hell. Here are my cantankerous takes on recent news and politics and other things that go bump in my brain.

I Can Quit Anytime I Want . . .

It seems that Rush Limbaugh's brush with Florida customs authorities may not result in any prison time. Rush who has admitted to "doctor shopping" to obtain pain killers, is currently serving 18 months probation. Under the terms of his probation, Rush may not be arrested during that period or he will face jail time.

Rush was detained for three hours at Palm Beach Int'l Airport when customs officials discovered he was carrying a bottle of Viagara for which he had no prescription.

The loophole that will save Rush is that Florida allows a physician to write a prescription for one person, but make it out in someone else's name.

According to an article published on CNN's web site Tuesday June 27 (Viagra threatens Limbaugh plea deal), prosecutors have hinted that Rush will not be subject to charges because "possession of Viagra is in a 'completely different universe than a matter that would involve Schedule Two (controlled) substances such as OxyContin'."

Meanwhile, the Drug Enforcement Administration, does not consider Viagra to be a controlled substance because "it's not something you can be addicted to," according to DEA Investigator Maria Gilbert.

Viagara? Non-addictive? Maybe they should check with a pudgy, 55 year old political pundit for a second opinion.
