10. He was the very first person to realize the power of the cable...
He was one of the first people to get his class up on what was then called Cable Classrooms. Back in the late80's. they actually broadcast real college courses on the cable that anyone could watch. You had to be signed up to get credit, but you could watch.

He was teaching at a community college in Georgia ad taught a "history" class. It was so full of right wing crap that it was laughable. But it wa popular and it made his successful as a "conservative" intellectual. Which is really the ultimate oxymoron.

The way I look at it is the whole philosophy is based on being clever, about how to frame and re frame the same old tired refrains.

Anyway, he is clever, he is cunning, we have to give him that.
