When I talk with my sister, she often tells me about a frustrating incident she’s experienced and closes by saying, “stop the madness”. I think about that phrase when I view the latest political news featuring the antics of the presidential candidates. Then I watch feedback from all the stations’ contributors, visiting show hosts, politicians from both side of the aisle, and anyone else who has an opinion on the subject being discussed. When all is said and done, I’m feeling my frustrations increase and I want to shout “stop the madness”.

Limbaugh: Contraception Advocate Should Post Sex on Videos-
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, already under fire from Democrats over his language in discussing a Georgetown University law student who testified about contraception, ratcheted up his rhetoric on Thursday, saying the student should post an online sex video if taxpayers are forced to pay for contraception.
Limbaugh on Wednesday had referred to student Sandra Fluke as a “slut” (and a prostitute) for supporting a requirement that health insurance cover contraception. On his radio show Thursday, Limbaugh went a little further:
"So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch."
