    Rush Limbaugh diagnosed with lung cancer...

    There may be some who disagree with his views, but cancer is a nasty way for anyone to go...
    "My intention is to come here everyday I can and to do this program as normally and as competently and as expertly as I do each and every day, because that is the source of my greatest satisfaction," Limbaugh said.

    I used to listen to him back in the '70s and early '80s. One of his favorite sayings was "....."in my formerly nicotine stained fingers....." when he was talking about holding or handling something. So yes, I'm sure he was a former smoker.

    I am no fan but I am sorry to hear about this---I would not wish such an end on anyone.

    That's my stance as well, Dave. Here's to hoping Rush responds well to treatment.

    From the WSJ:

    On past shows, Mr. Limbaugh said he started smoking cigarettes when he was 16 years old and quit around the age of 30. He has continued to talk about smoking cigars.

    I guess my memory is a bit off when it comes to when I listened to Rush. His show didn't start until 1988.
