THE NATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT/SECURITY STATE

I don't know about you, but the existence of this event -- which is going on as I type this -- creeps me out:



RushLimbaugh.com explains the event:

Starting at 10AM ET, live from Washington, Rush moderates a discussion featuring the brains behind "24" -- Joel Surnow, Robert Cochran and Howard Gordon -- your favorite "24" cast members, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Heritage Foundation analysts, more...

So this is cross-marketing for Rush, 24, the Heritage Foundation, and the Bush administration. Oh, and it's taking place at the Ronald Reagan Building in D.C., which is owned by the General Services Administration. Your tax dollars at work!

I know Taylor Marsh insists that Jack Bauer is a Democrat, but it looks as if he's a wholly owned subsidiary of the GOP.
