Rush
Limbaugh believes he knows why 16 million American schoolchildren will go
hungry this summer, and it has nothing to do with soaring job losses or endemic
poverty -- the problem is kids can't find their refrigerator or the local
neighborhood McDonald's.
Responding
to an article Wednesday
at AOL.com that reports 16 million children will go hungry this summer once
free or subsidized school lunches are no longer available, Limbaugh suggested
he would run a daily feature on his radio show all summer entitled "Where
to find food."
And, of course, the first will be:
"Try your house." It's a thing called the refrigerator. You probably
already know about it. Try looking there. There are also things in what's
called the kitchen of your house called cupboards. And in those cupboards, most
likely you're going to find Ding-Dongs, Twinkies, Lays ridgy potato chips, all
kinds of dips and maybe a can of corn that you don't want, but it will be
there. If that doesn't work, try a Happy Meal at McDonald's....
There's another place if none of these
options work to find food; there's always the neighborhood dumpster. Now, you
might find competition with homeless people there, but there are videos that
have been produced to show you how to healthfully dine and how to dumpster dive
and survive until school kicks back up in August.
Limbaugh
suggested that the problem of childhood hunger is an artificial creation from
people who believe that "rotten" parents "let their kids go
hungry."
God,
this is just -- we can't escape these people," Limbaugh said, referring
evidently to the author of the AOL article. "We just can't escape them.
They live in the utter deniability of basic human nature. They actually have it
in their heads somehow that parents are so rotten that they will let their kids
go hungry and starve, unless the schools take care of it."
