"Dear Rush: We just took your Rush 24/7 Studio Tour, and we were really impressed.

But we were disappointed that you didn't show and talk about the Prestigious Attila the Hun Chair.

Well, Bill and Lois, that's excellent question for a Friday.

The Prestigious Attila the Hun Chair is one of many chairs occupied by scholars here.

For example, if you watch a program on PBS that's sponsored by some think tank, you'll invariably see that it is sponsored by the John M. Olin chair at the such-and-such foundation.

It simply means that some contributor has donated X-amount of money sufficient enough to hire a thinker or a scholar for a year or two to sit and think about stuff.

We named it the "Attila the Hun Chair" simply to tweak the left.

You hear that A the H was this awful right-winger who plundered villages and raped cattle and rustled women everywhere he went.

They get him confused with Alexander the Great.

Attila the Hun is a horrible guy for the left, and we take him away as a weapon by naming a chair after him.

You can't go to Levitz and buy one.

I mean, you could try, but Levitz probably won't know what you're talking about.
