Tod Hermann of AM770 is guest host

Rush still hasn't returned to work - the guest host today will be Tod Herman.

He is located out of Seattle, apparently.

Here's an example of what's going on in Seattle, according to Herman, from his December 29, 2017 article regarding the year just past:

• Seattle taxes sugary drinks; Seattle plans to subsidize heroin use.

Actually - they're not subsidizing heroin use, they're just building a place where heroin people can inject themselves with the drug that they've already bought. Even though heroin is illegal, they can go to this place to inject themselves without fear of being arrested.

• Seattle taxes sugary drinks to make them more expensive so people will buy less of them. Seattle wants to place a tax on employees — a per head tax — so that employers will hire less people. Oh … wait, that can’t be right.

No, what the city wants to do is put a tax of 2.5% (gosh, how awful!) on people earning $250,000 a year.

Under the new law, the city taxes income over $250,000 a year for individuals and over $500,000 for couples at 2.25 percent. The tax is approved but isn't being collected yet.

• Seattle spent more money trying to hide how much money they made taxing guns and ammunition than they made by taxing guns and ammunition.

No, they spent money on a lawsuit that gun owners brought against them, nothing about trying to hide anything!

• One of Seattle’s four mayors of the last year — the one who resigned after a fifth allegation of sexually abusing children — famously said of the homeless crisis — on which King County spent nearly $1 billion last year — “I don’t have all the answers; we are making this up as we go along.”

So of 3 out of the 4 allegations that Herman brought up, he lied about.  And this is the guy Rush has as his guest host today.
