Morning Update: Battle of Wills
We have two big unions pitted against each other, with a big school superintendent caught in the middle. The major sticking point: money from the federal government. Feeding the kids is a sideshow in this battle of wills.

Boring Obama Employs the Limbaugh Theorem at Press Conference
RUSH: Is Barack Obama boring on purpose or is that just who he is? I think the Limbaugh Theorem was on display here... He's got nothing to do with whatever's happening.
Suddenly, an NBA Player's Sex Life is the Only Thing That Matters in America?
RUSH: Why can't everybody just put your sexual preferences on Facebook and call it a day? What do we need to stop everything and have a national day of celebration, or mourning (depending on your point of view), or recognition or whatever about this?
Explaining the Clinton-Collins Example
RUSH: We had a guy from Chicago that was really mad at me because I linked Clinton's behavior with Lewinsky with the gay basketball player, which makes me a homophobe. People do not listen, and they do not hear. That's not what my point was. I will make it again for the purposes of expression, communication and clarity.
Real Courage: The Benghazi Whistleblower
RUSH: Now, folks, I'm gonna step in it here. I could easily not say this and avoid a lot of trouble, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it. We're losing our language. Words mean things. The way we're defining "courage" is kind of curious to me. A pro basketball player announcing that he likes to have sex with other men, in my book, in a comparative sense, is not courageous, when compared, say, to a whistleblower trying to set the record straight about what happened in Benghazi.
On Naivety and Marco Rubio
RUSH: The staff on the other side of the glass is very concerned that the headline in about five minutes on every website in the world is gonna be: "Limbaugh: Rubio Naive on Immigration." In the first place, let me say at the outset that Senator Rubio and I are friends. We know each other and we communicate somewhat regularly. So these efforts that are underway or might be underway to drive a wedge between Senator Rubio and me simply will not work.
Don't Tell Anyone... But It May Be Time for Another Limbaugh Address to the Nation
RUSH: I've toyed with the idea of going to the networks and saying, "I want to buy 30 minutes." I actually have. I've not pulled the trigger on it but I actually have, as a means of trying to reach people who don't listen to radio or who do but don't because of their preconceived, incorrectly formed, bigoted reasons.
Chris Broussard Should've Known ESPN Won't Tolerate Intolerance of Liberalism
RUSH: Isn't that the whole point of freedom? Isn't tolerance tolerating people that disagree with you? So Jason Collins comes out, and he's gay, and whoever publicly doesn't sign on to it has to be silenced, may be punished, fired, penalized. So there is no freedom with liberals.
Under Obama, Pigford v. Glickman has grown into a $4.4 billion cottage industry of fraud, with lawyer fees topping $130 million.
RUSH: Do you understand what an enlightened, great country we now really are? Because an NBA player has come out gay... The New York media is all excited that Tebow's gone because now Tebow's not gonna screw up the Jets locker room with all the Jesus talk... Have you heard of the "black tax" in the NFL? I hadn't either 'til just now... 
RUSH: Do you know now that the Boston Marathon bombing is the Russians' fault? That's right. Folks, there's more going on here than the regime wants anybody to know, I'm convinced now. 
RUSH: Washington, DC, Saturday night, the famed White House Correspondents Dinner...
RUSH: The left has turned science into an agent of its ideology. That's the purpose of science. Everything, to these people, is political. There is not one aspect of life that is not oriented toward the advancement of a political agenda. That's the stunning thing, is how few people understand that or realize it, and, when told, reject it. But it's the case. Science is simply a tool. Science is simply another prong, if you will, of the liberal agenda, and it's been corrupted. Conservatives don't use science to advance conservatism.
RUSH: You could say the biggest killer of young African children is not AIDS, it's not war. It's DDT being banned. And you'd be right. And then of course the other mass death, I have to mention it, a million plus a year is a mass death, and that's abortion.
RUSH: Obama's new budget proposal aims to limit your nest egg by setting a cap on the amount of contributions you can make over the term of your life, and that number is $2.7 million. 
RUSH: I think overall when you hear him articulate his vision of this country and what it should be, I think he's a thoroughbred conservative.
RUSH: F. Chuck probably doesn't like it much, either, 'cause it's taking eyeballs away from NBC News. But it's quite instructive. Obama's supposed to be the big, big savior of social media. They love him in Silicon Valley...
RUSH: This whole thing with Apple fascinates me. I think it is a microcosm example of what happens all across this country in media fraud. 
So, even if Democrats use the N-word, Republicans are the real racists. If you can follow that, you might be a liberal.
RUSH: It was 
RUSH: If 24-year-old girls are frightened by the fact that I get passionate sometimes and may raise my voice and then think that conservatism is bad because of that, what hope do I have if a cartoon of the new icon, University of Connecticut Huskies, makes one of them think of rape?
RUSH: It sickens me, folks. I'm sorry... "God bless you." I have no words.
RUSH: If you know Duck Dynasty, you know America. Duck Dynasty is cable's top-rated reality series this year.
RUSH: It's like the Middle East peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians. That's been going on since before you and I were conceived. It's biblical, and it's not gonna end 'til one side defeats the other. 
RUSH: If amnesty passes, there will be no GOP. That's it. The base will disintegrate, in terms of support for the Republican Party. And, even if the base doesn't, you've got millions of new Democrat voters.
CALLER: I started listening to more talk radio, listening more to you, 'cause it reminded me of my family. It reminded me of what I was used to in my home environment, and that comforted me. And listening to you helped get me through that hard period of my life.
RUSH: Young people actually in the workforce rather than in school. They're just focusing on things they love, they like to do using their talents and expertise, and they're earning a lot of money doing it without any real formal education. 
RUSH: Amnesty, a civil right. Amnesty is the equivalent of wiping out slavery. You can't oppose that.
RUSH: Did you know that helium was endangered or threatened? 
CALLER: Hey, mega dittos, Rush. I know you don't like to talk about yourself, but I've always wondered, when do you eat lunch? What do you like to eat? Do you eat before the show? After the show, do you get a chance to eat with your wife? I mean, how does this work?
