OT. I thought of you while at the grocery today. Near the checkout they had an enormous display of Lite Spam. I had no idea there was such a thing. Didn't bother to read the label. I imagine that the lite version would just kill you more slowly. FWIW, there was a smaller display adjacent to the Spam for, get this, silkworm pupa. No kidding.

I guess Rush figures he has this guy on the run and is going to take him down. He had better watch out for his "hubris." Limbaugh to Criticize Fla. Prosecutor in Ads Wed May 12, 2004 09:25 PM ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has purchased full-page ads in two Florida newspapers to charge that local prosecutors are politically motivated in investigating him for "doctor shopping." Limbaugh's company, EIB (Excellence In Broadcasting), said the ads, which would run on Thursday in the Palm Beach Post and South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reprint a May 9 editorial from the conservative Washington Times that accuses West Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer of political opportunism. Limbaugh, one of America's most influential conservative commentators, last October publicly admitted an addiction to prescription painkillers and checked into a drug rehabilitation center. He is being investigated by Democrat Krischer's office. The Washington Times editorial cites as evidence of Krischer's bias his stated policy against prosecuting those with addictions so that he could focus on dealers. The paper calls the case against Limbaugh "shaky" and based largely on the testimony of his former housekeeper and her husband, who sold their story to tabloid newspapers and were accused of trying to blackmail the talk-show host. The editorial also said that the Florida attorney general, the Florida State Bar Association and the American Civil Liberties Union have criticized Krischer's handling of the case.
