Somehow I often manage to be listening to Rush Limbaugh during one of his episodes when he says something that catches flak. And due to having heard what he actually said I find myself on Limbaugh's side, as I hear how badly out of whack the flak is from what he actually said.
Anyway, I just heard Rush do a little rant about our current frozen situation in Texas. According to Limbaugh, Mexico is helping Texas out of its power problem by sending electricity to Texas.
I did not know the Texas grid is connected to Mexico.
Rush also mentioned the havoc the Ice Storm and freezing temperatures have wreaked on Super Bowl week, mentioning, in particular, the pathetic ESPN scene in downtown Fort Worth where broadcasters broadcast to an empty Sundance Square parking lot while enveloped in the vapor caused by their hot air meeting the frozen air.
Limbaugh also said that nothing like getting power from Mexico ever happened back when J.R. Ewing was running Dallas.
Typing this is not as amusing as it was hearing it.
I've still got him on and he's now taking a phone call from someone in Dallas who is telling Rush how bad the ice situation is here, with freezing pipes breaking, closing down power plants. The caller is now telling Rush that Texas drivers don't know how to drive on ice.
Rush is now defending the Texas drivers, saying no one can drive on solid ice.
Next caller is complaining about the Rolling Blackouts being due to no new power plants having been built in Texas in years.
Rush is continuing to speak well of Texas, most prosperous state in the Union, having to get power from Mexico. And how this must be embarrassing to a lot of Texans.
I'm a transplant. I'm not finding it all that embarrassing to get some electricity from Mexico.
Okay, I've reached my Rush Limbaugh limit for the day.
