Rush screws up (no, the other Rush)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody's pissed-off at Rush Limbaugh. Fake-assed outrage and all that, blah blah blah.
But this article at The Daily really bummed me out.  Sure, the main point of the article is that David Axelrod can see fit to rip Romney for not condemning Limbaugh while at the sime time being sheduled to appear on Bill "Sarah Palin's a cunt" Maher's show. Bad ju-ju, that.
What really got under my skin, though, is the last sentence:
Late Tuesday, the 1970s rock band Rush demanded Limbaugh stop playing their music before and after commercial breaks. A lawyer for the band accused Limbaugh of “using Rush’s recorded music as part of what is essentially a political broadcast.”
This is really sad, considering the Objectivist nature of much of the band's earlier material.

Who are the politically homeless?

The Republican Party sucks.
The Democratic Party sucks almost infinitely worse.
The Libertarian Party shouldn't suck, but it has been subverted by the Green Weenies and the Open Borders loons.
The Tea Party showed promise, but:
1) it isn't a party as such and
2) it has already been perverted from being tightly focused on FIXING THE GODDAMNED BUDGET into a Glenn Beck fan club and Evangelical Tent Revival.
Being somewhere between libertarian conservative and conservative libertarian, I find myself disgusted with the current American political landscape and amazed that I can find nowhere to hang my hat politically.
If you feel the same way, then cop a squat next to the fire and warm yourself in the knowledge that you are not alone.
