the limbaugh dinner

"the limbaugh dinner"
It sounds to important when you write it that way
with the article, "the" and the name as an adjective.
Reminds me of "the arnstein collection."
That hired guy teacher sla sistuh at
the sac state traffic and credentialing school -
you know, the one who beamed that that out of control school
in that movie was "a re FLACK shun of suh SAY uh tay,"
she always used to beam with adoration every time she said
"the aRRn stain cuh LACK shun."
So arnstein collects a bunch of articles,
probably written by other people,
probably full of politically correct pedagogical gobbledygook.
Then you can say it so many ways,
like I say one guy do once for The Apollo Theatre.

THE limbaugh dinner.
The LIMBAUGH dinner.
The limaugh DINNER.
And so on.

So, Our Graduate Student returns to ca in September 1996.
Now, in the 1990's, up in Alaska, and then in ca,
Our Graduate Student became a limbaugh listener.
He really LOVED limbaugh
because limbaugh was making Our Graduate Students ideas
MAINSTREAM conventional wisdom in America.

In 1982, there were one or two students
who secretely confided to Our Graduate Student
that they agreed with what he was doing.
But everyone else was "down on him,"
in the parlance of the "the oldest clownation."
Nobody got it.
At best, they would just shake their heads in pity.
Our Graduate Student began to doubt himself.
He's a reasonable, thoughtful person.
And a reasonable, thoughtful person
would have to consider that if everyone
says they don't understand anything you're saying,
that maybe you were wrong and they were right.
Kinda like Galileo.
Galileo said the earth went around the Sun.
Almost everyone disagreed with him
and, at best, shook their heads
in disapproving sympathy like he was nuts.

Then along came limbaugh.
He was saying all the stuff Our Graduate Student had written,
and the country was cheerin' him on !
I mean, that big, fat midwestern idiot
even made it in New York City,
Our Graduate Student's stompin' ground.
In Theme, Tone, and Content
limbaughs orations were a reflection
(not a re FLACK shun, but a reflection)
of Our Graduate Students 1982 Newsletters.
Limbaugh, the WASP, was magnifying and amplifying
Our Graduate Student's outraged and fed-up assault
on liberal fascism.
They both bashed the liberals.

But how did this sports announcer
suddenly take on the style of Our Graduate Student ?
How did this big, fat loudmouth WASP from the midwest
suddently go from being an unemployed sports announcer
to being a witty, scathingly sarcastic and mocking intellectual,
capable of taking on the political, social and educational
issues of the day ?

Wasn't it interesting that limbaugh's signature sign-on
seemed to have been lifted from the pages
of Our Graduate Student's 1982 Newsletters,
(The Attila The Hun Chair)
written and distributed 2.33 miles and 5 minutes
from the very location of that Hun Chair at the kfbk studios.
Indeed, Our Graduate Student BUILT that Hun Chair !

So, when Our Graduate Student heard
limbaugh announce that he was going to have  a dinner in sacramento,
celebrating some anniversary (maybe his 10th or 15th or something),
Our Graduate Student thought it would be a wonderful opportunity
to meet the great one.
Finally, Our Graduate Student thought, he had found his place.
By the side of the great one, the big fat blabbermouth himself.
They were certainly of like mind.
That's because the loudmouth former sports announcer
had read Our Graduate Student's 1982 Newsletters
and used them as his script.
It certainly seemed that way.
It certainly seems that way.

Remember this.
Our Graduate Student's Newsletters were written,
published and distributed at sac state in sacramento
in the Spring of 1982.
They were read by the highest levels in sacramento's
education/media/political complex, and even nationally
(sac state president, Bill Akers of "The Bee" or "The Union,"
mayor rudin, and Congresswoman bella abzug,
to name just a few.)
It was new.
It was groundbreaking.
It was shocking (for sacramento, anyway).
It was a shocking blow to the liberal education/political elements.

Now, you must understand that sacramento was a polarized community,
with both very conservative and very liberal constituents.
It was farm country, originally,
and it was surrounded by military bases
(McClellan AFB, Mather AFB, Travis AFB, and Beale AFB)
UC Davis was the agriculture college of the UC system,
and had a reputation as a conservative, small town country college.
But that was changing with the times.
Squeaky Fromme tried to assassinate President Ford
right there at the state capitol in sacramento.
tom hayden became an ca assemblyman and was always there.
jane fonda was often photographed for The Bee
walkin' around sacramento lookin' like an angry determined women's libber.
Eventually, the bratty oldest childrenation
migrated from san francisco and berkeley.
uc davis is now as kooky left and shallow as they come.
It's full of kooky extremist feminists.
Quote mine "Illiberal Education" for "uc davis. You'll see.
Ravitch too.

So who knows what went on behind the scenes.
All the liberal education/media/political leaders
read Our Graduate Student' 1982 Newsletters.
It would be unreasonable to think
that the conservative leaders didn't.
In fact, Our Graduate Student took His Newsletters
to the conservative "Sacramento Union,"
the conservative counterpart to "The Sacramento Bee."
The old white man there just chucked at Our Graduate Student
when he saw that Our Graduate Student
had posted a Copyright Notice at the top of each Newsletter.
Bill Akers wrote a full page editorial or column
titled "Times That Try Persons' Souls !"
for The Bee or The Union
while Our Graduate Student was writing and publishing His Newsletters.
I don't know whether Akers was conservative or liberal.
His extraordinary talent as a writer
would incline one to conclude that he was
a liberal writing for The Bee,
but it's possible that The Union just got lucky
and accidentally hired an intelligent person.

Anyway, the point I'm getting at
is that you had all the leaders of sacramento
sitting up straight, waking up for a moment from their complacency
and taking full note of Our Graduate Student's Newsletters.
sac state president and all administrators and teachers there
mayor anne rudin and presumably all the other feminist politicians
One or both of the two major newspapers
(most likely both if they're worth their salt and know what's going on)
even Congresswoman bella abzug from New York.
kfbk, 2.33 miles and 5 minutes away,
certainly should have seen The Newsletters.

So, that was the Spring of 1982.
limbaugh starts his program there in 1984.
What was going on behind the scenes there at kfbk
during that time ?
Had they suddently become aware
that a conservative viewpoint
could also use satire and mockery and humiliation
as weapons against the bratty liberal fascists
the was the oldest childrenation had been
doing to the conservatives since the sixties.
There it was right in front of them.
Our Graduate Student's 1982 Newsletters
mocking, satirizing and humiliating the liberal fascists
of the oldest childrenation.
So they get one of their own.
A radio guy.
A real big, fat, loudmouth bully.
A wasp.
From the midwest.
Probably of english ancestry.
As middle-American as can be.
They call up the unemployed former sports announcer
and talk about him doing a talk show at kfbk.

Now you tell me how this stuff works if you know
but I'm thinkin' they just didn't hire him carte blanche
to do just whatever the hell he wanted just cuz they liked him.
I'm thinkin' they had long talks among each other in sacramento
and long talks with limbaugh about a possible show
and it's topics and format, etc.
I think that's probably the way it's done
at a major radio station, isn it ?
Or maybe they just said,
"hey limbaugh, you used to be an ok sports announcer
out there in the middle of nowhere.
We know you're unemployed now.
Just come out here to this major radio market
to be biggest station in sacramento
that's heard for hundreds of miles in each direction
and blab about whatever the hell you want.
Just fill up the time slot.
We have no other ideas for it."
That's one possibility.

OR,
maybe they knew what they wanted.
Maybe they KNEW that they wanted a political talk show.
And they KNEW that this was new ground,
that there WERE no conservative political talk show host.
Maybe they studied the profiles of the available radio people
and found just the right guy,
an unknown, unbranded big fat bully white guy WASP,
a guy who was used to not bein' liked,
so he'd be real thickskinned
and that's what they needed
'cause everybody'd HATE him
when he started takin' all those positions
that were not politically correct.

And maybe during those discussions
they sent limbaugh a copy of Our Graduate Student's 1982 Newsletters
and said, "look, limbaugh, this is what we want.
This Graduate Student gave 'em hell here right around the corner last year.
He rocked 'em back on their heels.
We've never seen anything like it.
For two decades the liberals have been mocking us
and we've been standing flatfooted.
We never knew it was possible to fight back.
Now this Graduate Student here at sac state
has shown up exactly how to do it.
Look ! Here are the topics, all the extreme liberal positions.
A lot of them are absurd and ridiculous.
And the liberals lie all the time and just make stuff up.
Nobody's ever questioned them before and called them to the carpet,
not until this Graduate Student came along
and kicked their asses all by himself.
Imagine what you could do on a major radio station
with a highly paid staff to support you and do research.
We can really slam them liberals.
Just do what the Graduate Student did."

Considering that the limbaugh program
mirrored Our Graduate Student's 1982 Newsletters
in theme, tone and content,
even to the point of stealing the "Hun" metaphor,
I think it's much much much more likely
that the second scenario is what happened.

So, anyway, about 15 years after writing His Newsletters,
Our Graduate Student is back in sacramento
after a 6 year respite in Alaska.
limbaugh is at his zenith.
Our Graduate Student loved him.
Remember. EVERYONE had ridiculed Our Graduate Student
for what he had written.
Our Graduate Student eventually was full of self-doubt,
wondering what could be wrong with him.
Then limbaugh came along and
make Our Graduate Student's ideas mainstream.
It was going to be a joyous meeting
when Our Graduate Student and limbaugh met.
The architect and the builder.
Together they had changed the world !

So when limbaugh announced that tickets were on sale
for an anniversary celebration of his show
right there downtown in "old sacramento"
at the railroad museum,
Our Graduate Student bought his ticket
and eagerly anticipated meeting his protege,
the big fat bully boy from the midwest
who made good imitating him.

Why Didn't The Great Conservatives Powers That Be
In sacramento
Go Directly To The TRULY GREAT ONE,
Our Graduate Student Himself ?
Well, they needed a gorilla, see ?
A big WASP gorilla.
Somebody the great mass of ignorant, angry
middle-American white men could relate to.

It's all about chest-beating, see ?
So they get the big, big gorilla,
the rushbo himself
and he gets on the radio every day
and beats his chest and roars conservative Republican talk.
Then all the angry white guys in middle America
call into his show and say, "me too"
and beat their smaller chests,
and the big gorilla limbaugh approvingly
megadittos them back.

But, really, they're all megadittoing Our Graduate Student.

So, anyway, Our Graduate Student emailed limbaugh
and said he looked forward to finally meeting him.
In those days, limbaugh used to say on the radio
that he read every email he received.

So Our Graduate Student spends a weeks salary
on the dinner ticket
and goes down to the railroad museum
and waits outside with the limbaugh-friendly crowd.
They they announced that limbaugh
would be arriving from the rear.
They they announced that there would be a change
to the seating arrangements.
Instead of open seating as originally planned,
everyone would be assigned to a table.

Why would they make a change like that at the last minute ?

So Our Graduate Student is seated at a table not too close.
Limbaugh makes his entry on the back of a caboose
like those presidential candidates did in the late 1800's.
He was a fairly good speaker
and he was preachin' to the choir.
He told about how he came to sacramento
and found a small backwater town, "like most state capitols."
In his speech, he said he decided what to do
AFTER he got here.
He listed a few of the stations in sacramento
and who was on them at the time.
He mentioned "Mary Jane Popps" and that gave Our Graduate Student
a chuckle. I mean, could that name possibly be real ?
And, if it was just a "nomme de radio talk"
what kind of image would the name be chosen for ?
That would be good for a children's program maybe.
It was on an adult station in an adult time slot.
But the level of gravitas of Mary Jane Popp's programming
was commensurate with the gravitas of her name.
So, limbaugh listed a few other programs
and said, "that's all there was.
there was a vacuum. so i decided to do a
political talk show and bash shallow liberal fascists
and mock and humiliate and satirize them."
Then, he could have added,
"Just like Dave Scully did at sac state the year before.
In fact, Dave Scully was my inspiration.
I got my main ideas from him.
Dave, would you please stand up and take a bow.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's the man who started it all !"

limbaugh could have done that
and it would have been the right thing to do,
but Our Graduate Student wasn't expecting
anything so dramatic.
That's the stuff movies are made of.
Our Graduate Student was expecting a few words with limbaugh,
maybe just 5, 10, or 15 seconds like when Albert Shanker
walked up to him and greeted him at Stanford.
"Dave, we've finally met ! So good to meet you.
Here's my number. Call for an appointment and we'll chat.
There's so much to catch up on !
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to emcee the dinner.
Call Monday. Enjoy the dinner !

But that much more reasonable expectation
didn't happen either.
They kept Our Graduate Student at arms length.
Some army guy was there profusely apologizing
to Our Graduate Student who could only guess
that it had to do with connected useful idiot harassment
that Our Graduate Student had to endure
from the military in Alaska.
Then there was the big tall white guy harassing him.
That happens a lot at Republican dinners, it seems.
So Our Graduate Student is wondering what's going on.
He didn't go there to attach limbaugh,
but to meet him,
and he had to put up with the big tall white guy
assigned to bother him.
Finally, they brought a microphone over to the table
to Our Graduate Student and asked him
something about the dinner "How was it or
How did it feel to be there or What did he think ?"
They patronized him like a little child
who'd never been out of his neighborhood.
"Wow, I bet this is the greatest thing you've ever seen.
Quite a dinner, huh ? What do you think ?
Stuff like that.
so Our Graduate Student just said vapid nothings,
"Oh, it's just wonderful to be here among like-minded friends."
So they gave him a party bag with a bunch junk
and a cigar in it.

And that's pretty much the story of the limbaugh dinner.
He knew Our Graduate Student and kept him at arms length.
Was that little speech of his
about how he make his programming decision
AFTER he got to sacramento
and based it on the other programming in town
meant to defuse Our Graduate Student's expected claim
that limbaugh got his ideas from His 1982 Newsletters
and used them as his script?

I think maybe yes.

On a few occasions
limbaugh made comments on the radio that Our Graduate Student
thought were in reference to him.
One about our Graduate Student's bland comments at the dinner,
one about malicious editing by the judge judy program
(Our Graduate Student had requested rush's advice
on whether to go on the program. This was before the dinner.)
Tom Sullivan, rush's friend who had a kfbk program, too,
also seemed to remark about Our Graduate Student's
good choice in exposing the situation on judge judy.
Then, sometime later when Our Graduate Student was
driving a truck over the road,
he was assigned to deliver a load to Bellevue, WA.
On the drive up he was listening to limbaugh
who made cracks about how "he ought to be in Bellevue."
Of course, that's a New York expression
you used as a put down because Bellevue is the mental hospital.
It led Our Graduate Student to start wondering
just how connected some of these agencies are,
and which agencies are involved, such as,
big trucking companies, fbi, national security, conservative media.
Don't forget the relationship between
"The Sopranos" and the DiCapocante crime family.

So that's it.
Despite a few more attempts by Our Graduate Student
to contact limbaugh directly, that was it.
limbaugh never stepped up like a man
and gave Our Graduate Student credit for the obvious.
He read Our Graduate Student's 1982 Newsletters
and was inspired by them to the point
that they appear to be the script for his program.

Our Graduate Student made a heroic and valiant
attempt, during the 2003 recall election in ca
to use that election as a platform to state his case.
He was one of the original bloggers.
He managed to bring himself to the attention
of The Sacramento Bee
where he even acted as what they call their
"Dr. Risk" for a week or so,
but if they looked into his contentions in his blog,
they were elusive about it.

Our Graduate Student caught schwarzenegger's attention.
Our Graduate Student was very supportive of schwarzenegger's candidacy
from the beginning
and in the beginning many people considered
schwarzenegger's candidacy to be laughable.
Our Graduate Student later became hopeful
of obtaining a position in schwarzenegger's administration
after the election.
He continued to blog and, rather than appear a sycophant,
he chose to play the helpful role of the motley fool.
schwarzenegger and his staff were behaving silly the first year.
But after a year of legislative defeat by the Democrats
schwzrzenegger turned into a rino
(republican in name only).
His wife was a very liberal Democrat Kennedy,
so schwarzenegger was putty in the hands
of the Democratic teachers' and nurses' unions,
and the rest of the feminist Democrats.
So, when schwarzenegger outrageously had Our Graduate Student arrested
in the Spring of 2006 during the next gubernatorial campaign,
as a felony fugitive for screwing up some election signature collection,
that could be considered connected to the conspiracy.
Considering that yolo county education administrator
elizabeth ruport had just tried to entrap Our Graduate Student
into committing fraud in his credential renewing process,
and U.S. Senator barbara boxer had just tried to FRAME Our Graduate Student
for bankruptcy fraud,
schwarzenegger's prosecution of Our Graduate Student for election fraud
can certainly be connected to the conspiracy.
It certainly appears that the liberal fascist Democrats
were determined to prosecute Our Graduate Student as a fraud
so they could discount what he had written in His 1982 Newsletters
as the mere rants of a fraud.
That's called playing "gotcha."
Sorry but it don't work that way.
Tripping somebody up doesn't make them a fraud
and doesn't make all the true things they've written untrue.
Like Judge Judy said of Our Graduate Student's statement,
"I consider what you've written to be Gold."

OK, done for the day.
I want to find out the news about the Chilean miners.
Tomorrow we'll start towards wrapping it up.
We'll have to focus on the above-mentioned
attempts at fraud entrapment and fraud framing.
Maybe a few other things,
but we have to wrap it up and finish this first draft soon.
Til tomorrow then.
