WayneTech Cellular-Sonar Not for Everyone

Rush: I see where the movie The Dark Knight, the latest Batman movie, broke a record. But it only did $155 million in the first three days. Can you imagine how good it would have been if there was a great economy going out there? Can you imagine how great that $155 million would have been if our economy were not in such a slump?

Meanwhile, another part of the real world: the new Apple iPhone. "I can't get 'em! They're sold out." They went on sale July 11th, this is the 21st, and they are sold out. They did over $80 million on the iPhone the first three days. Can you imagine how many more they could have manufactured and sold if we just had a decent economy?

Senator McCain threw Phil Gramm under the straight talk bus, for talking about a "mental recession." I'm being facetious here, of course, my friends: it is a mental recession! I mean, people spent $155 million over three days to see a dark movie. Did you talk to anybody who saw it? Your nephew said it's one of the best movies ever?

My North Carolina mistress said it was the biggest wastes of 2-1/2 hours that she ever spent through. I know she's a girl. This is Batman here. The movie is probably made for 18-year-olds, you know, who can't get a date and so they go watch Batman and Heath Ledger in the dark.
