Rush detained

Nevermind is one of the great albums of the last twenty years

I don't dislike the artist because he abused drugs - I'm a Beatles fan after all. But my opinion of the "music" he produced is much different than yours.

Oh, oh!! Galahad's making very inappropriate Holocaust/Nazi jokes...it might be time to pick a new screen name, dude!!

Actually it wasn't a joke. Its an often quoted phrase with no intention of praising Hitler.

Where did you get this tidbit?
It's rarely ever done, but it's true, sodaseller. As long as the doctors' have documented proof from the get go that they are doing it for that reason. There was a write up about it in the Palm Beach Post this morning. A number of health officials interviewed said that although they've never actually heard of a case in which it happened, it's perfectly legal.

Well golly gee Batman, Palm Beach County foiled again!

Man...trains, Hitler...c'mon!!!! It was so obvious! And if you didn't mean it, then man, it sure came out wrong...really wrong!!

Ah! Wait. Are you referring to the trains used by the Nazi to take people to the camps? Jeeze! I guess I see your point, but that really is a stretch from what I said or even intended.

My point was that when you attack a world leader - even an evil one - many will point out (at least sarcastically) something they did that was redeeming. Stalin surely did something generally thought as "good". I know some people like Cobains music, which might be that analogous example. But I don't think his music has any value. He taught kids it was perfectly OK to be full of self-absorbed angst when you really hadn't done anything to earn it, and then committed the ultimate act of narcissistic excess and publicly killed himself - modeling twisted behavior to thousands.

It's been six years and your guy won. Time to let it go Dawn... And wasn't it Mussolini and the trains? Oh well, I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go!

Limbaugh's problem however is that because he has a felony charge hanging over his head because of his doctor shopping, and is on probation, law enforcement is still taking a good long look at this case.

Glad you're happy, Dawn, but regardless of what Lardass has mentioned on his radio show, Palm Beach County is tough on crime, regardless of the criminal's status or political leanings.

Actually, yes it was. I get my fascists mixed up. Maybe the Volkswagen was a better Hitler example. Or efficient oilfields from Saddam.

It's hardly a stretch, Galahad. You've already apologized for possibly offending some here, whether you meant the joke or not. Why not leave it at that?

I know. I just then realized what it was you were referring to. Apologizing for possibly offending somebody is pretty lame. I was too dense to initially know what I had done. I guess I value my reputation somewhat and with cardaway suggested I had compromised that it became important to me to figure out how.

I still have no use for Kurt Cobain, though.

Carry on.

The article is http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localnews/content/local_news/epaper/2006/06/28/s1b_MORERUSH_0628.html It's not clear yet as to the legality of the practice, again assuming that is all that occurred, which has not yet been confirmed, and also assuming it does not violate the terms of plea, which also has not been established
Limbaugh's attorneys have said the prescription was labeled as being issued to his physician — rather than Limbaugh — for privacy purposes.

A few health officials contacted Tuesday said they never heard of such a thing.

Yet, a spokesman for the State Attorney's Office, which will review the issue, issued a caveat Tuesday. Mike Edmondson said that according to preliminary research by his office, the practice of prescribing in a third-party name may not be illegal — if all parties are aware and the doctor documents it correctly.

Customs officials detained Limbaugh upon his return from a brief visit to the Dominican Republic.

A luggage search turned up a bottle of 29 of the blue pills with someone else's name on them. Limbaugh told the investigators they were for his use, according to sheriff's officials.

The law-enforcement agencies declined to provide additional details or reports Tuesday.

Pharmacy laws do not specifically address whether a doctor can write a prescription under a pseudonym, said April Brown, a doctor of pharmacy working for the Florida Pharmacy Association.

It's a practice she's never heard of, she said. Brown formerly worked at a Los Angeles hospital where several celebrities came in. "It was always their real names being used," she said.

A Department of Health spokesman said a knowledgeable investigator for the department told him he had never heard of the practice, either.

If it happens anywhere in Fla, it's Palm Beach, where Rush is among his own

Addressing literature at his Nobel Prize Winning speech, Faulkner said that great art conveys, "the truths and verities of the human heart" or something to that effect. Someone lacking a heart or soul would not appreciate art.



Knowing your worldview, you might appreciate an unironic Stones tune of Dancin with Mr D, and the claim in another more famous tune for sympathy for who you serve

I would say that Palm Beach County is selectively tough on crime. How tough are they on their illegal immigrants for example? I would guess that they never quite get over that "one big case that gets away".

I guess being lumped in with Charade and myself was more pain than you could bear. ;)
 
I'm not a Rush listener so I may have this wrong, but wasn't a key part of his original case an issue of medical privacy - that the prosecutors were subpoenaing his medical records and leaking some of their contents during the course of the investigation? So if he tried to get this script in a way that protected his privacy from tabloid leaks of him being on Viagra that seems to explain what's going on. It obviously didn't work very well though.

When I travel I put the presecriptions I need for the length of the trip in a container that just holds what I need for the trip. No name, or anything on it. Under these circumstances, what would happen to me? I've done this traveling both here and abroad.

If you're coming in on an overseas flight, I'm thinking that there's a good chance that you'd be detained until the border cops verified your presciption with your doctors. You're fine going state to state, unless you're arrested for another crime, seeing that you're Consitutionally protected from illegal search and sezuire.

Well they better open the Orange Bowl in Miami to detain all of those seniors disembarking daily from the cruise ships. They are notorious for unlabeled pill containers.

Aquinas visualized that beauty is another form of Truth. Thus, it may be beyond your capacity to behold
