Hmmmm - bit of a correction here. The "Politically correct" wording for folks with problems is "Challenged." Since I am so dang challenged most of the time I'll try to be succinct.

I only heard Mr. Limbaugh speak once and that was about women and their place not being an equal one. It was about this time that several of us were working on a forum for battered women at the university I was attending. So it is interesting to hear the variety, and intensity, of the debate!

Anyone - I said anyone - who struggles with the challenges the majority of us take for granted is to be empathized with.

But no sympathy - sympathy is between shit and syphillus in the dictionary where it ought to be. To empathize is to provide acknowledgement of the condition with support for the recovery. To sympathize is to feel sorry for - a pity pot - and Mr. Limbaugh does not appear to want sympathy. Good for him I say!

America needs all Her heros - left and right of the center - so my hopes are for a recovery. And if not I am sure Mr. Limbaugh will find a way past the challenges to continue his course in American History. I just wish people would stop beating each other up.
