Rush Limbaugh, crusader against drugs and moral destitution is on drugs?

The ironic thing about Rush Limbaugh's latest encounter with the law over illicitly obtained prescription drugs is who the harshest critic of this sort of thing is.  It is Rush himself!

Many people bought the hasty answer that it was "not illegal" in Florida to get a prespcription drug written for someone other than yourself, if that person is your doctor.

According to this series of excerpts from the Florida legal code - it is illegal:

  Did Lumbaugh's doctor break the law?

Does it sort of seem like the word "destitution" comes from a conjoining of the words "destination" and "prostitution"?

Well, that is one thing that the Dominican Republic is.  I am sure they are known for certain foods, a certain language or accent, very special weather, cute little souvineers - but also, there is this other thing.

Within a day or so of Rush's encounter with the baggage-inspectors, two people had pointed out to me that Dominican Republic was a notorious destination for the sex tourism trade. A quick Google search seemed to bear that out.  And, then there was the purpose of Rush's latest pill-based problem in a bottle.

It is kind of amazing that of all the people who have had their privacy, identity, and other such things evaporate this year - that two things that have privacy rights that exceed anything else are Rush Limbaugh and the Hedge Fund industry.  And that is weird, becaues they have both been busted for that recently.  So you would think when they get in trouble again, then privacy would not be a concern.

What is even odder is that Kevin Rose, founder of Digg.com, actually picked in advance the date that Rush would get detained for entering the country with someone else's prescription drugs as the day that Digg 3 was unveiled!

Digg version 3 is the version that introduced the ability to track not just technical stories - but Non-Technical stories as well.  This means world events, detainings of world famous celebrity demagogues at international airports, and so on.

CNET has a Digg 3 Review on its website.

Oh, and before you leave - be sure to check the definition of destitution, all right?
