VICTORY FOR planet-loving people over industry and environmental marauders came today in a spectacular validation of the EPA.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said that the Environmental Protection Agency was “unambiguously correct” in using existing federal law to address global warming, denying two of the challenges to four separate regulations and dismissing the others.
Michael Gerrard, director of the Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University, said no one expected the “complete slam dunk” issued by the court Tuesday, and said the decision was exceeded in importance only by the Supreme Court ruling five years ago.
… The court “found that EPA followed both the science and the law in taking common-sense, reasonable actions to address the very real threat of climate change by limiting greenhouse gas pollution from the largest sources,” Jackson said in a statement.
Now if we could only do something about the gaseous substance emitted from Rush Limbaugh’s puss everyone in politics would breathe better and more freely. …and if you’re wondering why I’m picking on Rush on this one it’s because he’s the leader of stupid on the right, particularly where climate change is concerned.
He’s no George Carlin.
Well I won’t have to listen to Po Widdle Trolls favorite closeted pedophile(sex tourism junket to Dominican Republic known for under age male prostitutes with an illegal Rx of viagra for his impotent wienie) anymore here in the Phila. market.
Ol limpwithnoballs that champion of traditional marriage(THREE divorces, on his next exMrs limpwithnoballs as I type)pro war(draft dodger) law and order(convicted felon drug addict) tough guy was dropped from the station due to lost revenues as nearly ALL his advertisers pulled adds from HIS program. He was reduced to Gold scam artists, impotency scam artists and folks selling freeze dried food for you to stockpile for the coming food riots.
Folks…boycotts WORK!!!!!!
Rush will be over the top on this news tomorrow.
His climate change baloney is some of his best fiction.
Yeah, but I won’t have to listen to him…BWAHAHAHA!
I’m sure there will be stations in the Lehigh Valley or Reading area happy to carry him. It never seemed to be hard to find him on the radio dial when I visited the region. It was hard to find something worth listening to, but right-wing gas bags with an opinion were a dime a dozen.
Still, it must be nice to have one less station to have to avoid.
The vast, VAST majority of that 599(NOT Phila anymore!!!) stations that carry him are low power AM stations.
They got rid of Hannity and now Rush. However, Hanninty and Rush are now on a Philly FM station 106.9.
Wrong, again.
BWAHAHAHAHA! The two bloviating master baiters are now on a nothing FM station way up on the dial in nowhere’s ville. And most of the imbecilic assmonkies who used to listen will be to stupid to find them again.
Winning!
Maybe, once, you could admit that facts contradict what you’ve written rather than resorting to your Tourette’s-esque style of insults. They say much more about you than the people that you’re trying to insult.
I’m usually more of a lurker than a poster these days but still a big fan and daily visitor — and I think it’s important for the credibility of Daily Kos that people get things right. Sometimes, that involves doing a minute or two of online research before you post something based on what you think, or what you wish, is happening. Right now, the top diary is called “Rush Limbaugh Off Air in Philadelphia.” Apparently it was posted by someone who turned on his radio, heard Michael Smerconish in Limbaugh’s long-standing time slot, and raced to post something.
I wish Rush Limbaugh was off the air in Philadelphia. We all do. But he’s not — he’s moving to a brand FM new station called “IQ” (how’s that for an oxymoron) at 106.9. Fun fact: This used to be the outlet for Harold “End of the World” Camping, but now it’s a new station run by long-time radio guru Randy Michaels, who nearly destroyed the Tribine Co. in my business of newspapers. In fact, the unholy trio of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Limbaugh are re-united (and it feels so bad) at the new 106.9.
Will the move hurt Limbaugh here in the short run? Hopefully? Will he find a new footing on FM in Philly? Hopefully not — although there is a movement here to shift sports talk and now political talk away from AM, which people under the age of 35 don’t apparently know how to access.
Like I said, do your homework, folks.
So the three losers are to be the heavy(no pun about the girth of limpwithnoballs intended….snark) on a new, nobody listens to destined to fail FM station way up on the dial. WOO! That’s REAL impressive.

WOW! He’s gonna inherit the “END OF THE WORLD CAMPING” crowd!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Technically I suppose one would say yes, limpwithnoballs is still on the air….just on a podunk, nothing station with about 6 listeners…OOPS, forgot Po Widdle Troll 7
I’m a bit surprised by this ruling, too. The DC district doesn’t have a reputation for enlightened rulings.
Not surprising to me given that Mass v EPA is already a USSC precedent. The district court didn’t need to do much original thinking on this one.
Even dead Carlin is more interesting than most living people in this country.
