 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, October 02, 2003 VOL. II Issue 10A RUSH LIMBAUGH UNDER FIRE This is not shaping up to be Rush Limbaugh's week. The conservative radio talk show host said a few things that upset a lot of people. Nothing new here, except he said them while giving football commentary on ESPN. This was a job that nobody here at the Holabird Advocate knew he had until the news came out that he said that quarterback Donavan McNabb is overrated because the media wants a successful black quarterback. The remarks, while not meant to be racial, were taken this way. This McNabb fella, who appears to be black did not ask for an apology, and did not get one. Limbaugh has left his position with ESPN because of this melee. Freedom of speech does not apply to Mr. Limbaugh, or so it appears. Limbaugh is also being investigated in connection with a drug ring that is dealing in Oxycontin, a drug that is illegal without a prescription. He has not been accused of a crime or any other wrongdoing as of yet. Limbaugh was unavailable to the Holabird Advocate for comment, because he is giving the keynote address for the National Association of Broadcasters. E.E. HINKLE ON THE MEND SLOWLY He still breathes heavy, but other than that, E.E. Hinkle is doing fine. He hasn't been coughing, which may or may not be a good thing. The doctor presribed Zithromax, which costs about $10/day. E.E. bal;ks at the price, but if he had to spend $10/day for the rest of his life, he'll still have a way to go before he runs out of money. E.E. is taking things in stride, as well as taking this pneunonia better than his kids are. His oldest daughter Mavis is ready to come when needed. His son, Harold, doesn't believe she's needed yet. His youngest daughter Joyce thinks Mavis was needed last week. CAROL ZILVERBERG HOSPITALIZED IN TWIN CITIES Former Valley Township resident Carol Zilverberg was visiting her daughter in Minneapolis when she started to feel sick. She is currently in a hospital somewhere in the Twin Cities area. It is believed, according to the UMW prayer chain, that she is having trouble with gallstones. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate hope she is doing better soon. MONSTER CEREALS: THEY'RE BAAAACK Who knows why, but General Mills has rereleased their "Monster Cereals" Those who grew up with cereals like Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, and Fruit Brute, well they are available again. Kristi Hinkle has informed the Holabird Advocate that she got a box of both Count Chocula and Boo Berry. When her daughter, Brittany, found out that she was going to have a cereal for supper that will turn milk blue, she was tickled and very excited. CLAIRE VOYANT PREDICTS W REELECTION. Holabird Advocate Psychic friend Claire Voyant has predicted that George W. Bush will be reelected on election day next year. In spite of that, the country will go ahead with the election. If last month's Holabird Advocate poll is any indication, the vote won't even be close.
