Rush Limbaugh Biography
After the first primaries of the 2010 U.S. election season, Chafets identified Rush Limbaugh as "the brains and the spirit behind" the Republican Party's "resurgence" in the wake of the 2008 election of President Barack Obama. Among other specifics in the May, 2010 op-ed column, Chafets pointed to Sen. Arlen Specter, who was defeated in a Democratic primary in Pennsylvania: Limbaugh had labeled him, when Specter was still a Republican, "Republican in Name Only." Chafets also reported that Sarah Palin's "biggest current applause line — Republicans are not just the party of no, but the party of hell no — came courtesy of Mr. Limbaugh." More generally, Chafets wrote, Limbaugh has argued the party-of-no Ronald Reagan conservative course for the Republicans vigorously, notably since six weeks after the Obama victory, and has been fundamental to, and encouraging to, the more prominently noted Tea Party movement. Limbaugh is the subject of Chafets' 2010 book Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One.

“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
