I’ve always had a special connection to my Grandfather Robert A Berry. I’m named after him and he was always a super cool guy. He passed away in late 1996 and my Grandmother Patricia followed him earlier this year. Going through some of her old things I found this wonderful letter her wrote to the local paper about Rush Limbaugh. The handwriting is a bit rough to read on the web, so I’ll retype it here…

Re: Rush Limbaugh aka Brave Rush the Stout
Nine Points to Ponder

1. Since Brave Rush claims to be using only half his brain, does that make him a self-admitted half wit?
2. Would you buy a used car from Brave Rush?
3. Does Brave Rush remind you of the village bully who can dish it out but can’t take it?
4. Are Brave Rush and G “Fiorello” Liddy headed for a showdown over the noon radio time slot?
5. Would Brave Rush’s book have been better titled “The Way Things Used To Be”?
6. Will Brave Rush make it to the demagogue’s Hall of Fame or will he and his movement collapse of their own weight?
7. Have some of our better department stores designated their diaper changing area as The Rush Room?
8. If Brave Rush’s talent is “on loan from God” did God short change him?
9. Would Brave Rush and his loyal brand of brain dead dittoheads be well advised to lighten up?

Sincerely,

Only a couple of groaners in there, but actually some pretty sharp stuff. I’m happy to learn that my Grandpa was a lot more liberal than I gave him credit for! I have some more great stuff of his to share in the weeks to come, including a single he recorded under the name Sanddune Sanders called “Drop Dead You Meathead!”
