No doubt the Limbaugh funeral will also draw some who simply wish to reassure themselves that the Limbaugh cadaver is really a corpse and that Rush is finally done talking, at least here on Earth.

I handed it all over to him.
What could be a clearer violation of moral or natural law than a man refusing to take responsibility for a child he has fathered; or a woman choosing death for her own child in the womb?
There is no easy way to break the news to a world too busy with all the frenetic activity that causes us to “lay waste our powers, getting and spending,” as the immortal Wordsworth so eloquently put it. But even for those of us who try to follow a more spiritual bent, “The World is Too Much With Us.”
