More From Rush Limbaugh

Here's the point - and jonah goldberg reminds us of this. he wrote a blog post that was titled "the macguffinization of american politics." do you know what a macguffin is? "'in a movie or book, 'the macguffin' is the thing the hero wants,' ace writes." so in the maltese falcon, for example, the hero wants the maltese falcon, but there's always somebody trying to stop the hero from getting what he wants.
Book Hero Writing
It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.
Good Life Children Teaching
Ace of spades says that this became clear to him in a revelation one night. he was watching chris matthews interview [barack] obama, and he didn't get one question! he didn't ask obama one question about how obamacare works. every question was one degree or another: how do you feel about [john] boehner opposing it? how do you feel about it? what will make you happy? do you think you can get it? [it] was irrelevant!
Night Thinking Obamacare
Villains can often be one note and i would say in that case, it’s not fun to play the villain. it’s fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for. in the movie, you’re applauded for them if you do them with panache. and so that’s why it’s more fun to play the villain.
Fun Often Is Play
I mean, the ace of spades example that jonah goldberg remembered here (and that made me remember it, too), is that chris matthews interview with [barack] obama, during the run-up to obamacare. not one question about it. and when you stop and think, there never is for the democrat. the media never questions the substance of anything the democrats do.
Running Mean Thinking
You know who it is? it's me in 10 years. so i turned 25. ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'so, are you a hero?' and i was like, 'not even close. no, no, no.' she said, 'why?' i said, 'because my hero's me at 35.' so you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. i'm never gonna be my hero. i'm not gonna attain that. i know i'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.
