On January 1, 2013 Ersatz Think Tank was appointed to the Executive Board of The Conference on Philistine Conventions. As part of their Museum Banal dinner dance Gala the induction ceremonies all carefully set up a systematic countdown to The Foremost Expert’s affair closing address. The Foremost Expert has been the Senior Fellow in Residence at the Ersatz Think Tank’s California Policy Center for Conformable Participation since 1999.. The Gala this year was held at the Bel-Air Bay Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

Throughout that day the grounds found club members and various visiting Philistines discussing “The Morning Joe Show” that had recently aired on MSNBC, the cable network . On it Joe Scarborough had berated Mika Brzezinski for an innuendo that Joe was somehow a male chauvinist and perhaps a pig. In his dressing down of Mika for that suggestion he verbally beat her with a rake for her brazen hussy like mistake to an extent that he proved Ms. Brzezinski’s point.

Paul Bowinkel, a visiting Philistine from Corona Del Mar, was sipping a screwdriver, “hair of the dog that bit ya,’” when he opined, ”Joe really got her good!”
Paul’s pal, Len Huddleston, a Santa Monica Monsignor, advised that “Rush would’ve handled that differently. That’s why he’s Rush and Joe’s Joe. Rush is a genius.”
