Looks like a 60's Taiwanese knock off of an Epiphone to me.
Certainly NOT a Fender Telecaster.

Rush Limbaugh: Jim....What's His name, Free Republic Got Banned at CompuServe And...
Rush Limbaugh
July 24, 2012
Rush is talking about the early internet and mentions Jim Robinson and Free Republic.
Free Republic Rules!
I agree with you...Rush backs RINOs...I’ll get my news here.
“That indicates IMO that rush is no freeper.”<<<<<
Head fake. Rush from time to time knows where to go to get his head on straight about the differences between Republicans, conservatives, and some of us s.o.b. conservatives who can smell and spell socialism on both tickets.
From just some of the stories he tells, his dad was like us, and his grandfather. Rush gets it.
That brings back memories. I still have my MCI Mail software in a box in storage, and I still have the working IBM PC-XT and Compaq Portable computers it was installed upon. They still work. I saved back some tubes of RAM for them, leftover from when I was selling it wholesale to retailers.
After using mainframes and/or their networks since the 1960s, the transition to microcomputers in the late 1970s and The Source and Compuserve BBS networks in 1979 came as a natural transition. The advent of USENET, MCI Mail, BBS, and FidoNet, and Gopher were all to frequent new hurdles. It actually felt like a welcome relief from constant upset when the Internet kept the playground at least a little more consistent and familiar from year to year. We went from piggybacking e-mail through a Disney BBS gateway onto the Internet to using Mosaic and then Netscape Navigator. The Source, MCI Mail, Compuserve, Netscape, and many e-mail servers went by the wayside. USENET has also been diminished.
No sweat bro.
For humor as dry as that attempt of mine you might have needed a half a bottle of...what...pinot grigio? They took away my drinking privileges some years ago and I’m not up on the offerings anymore...
(Of course I used to be a lot funnier back when I was drinking lol!)
I like that one.
The cliched retort to our criticism of IBM’s decision to limit the IBM PC-XT to a maximum of 10MB of storage space for its hard drive was the claim that was all that the New York Stock Exchange needed for their storage. After rolling our eyes, our counter-retort was “We’ll see about that.”
I wish I heard it, too!
ROFL! Love that good ol’ Jim What’s-His-Name from that awesome website Whatchamacallit.com.
If you been here a while you've seen a lot.
some guy named “Jim Thompson”.......
You’re supposed to ping Jim Thompson when you mention him /snark
That’s right. I probably wouldn’t remember either it if I hadn’t been there on Prodigy in those days. They really had a hard on for the White Water bulletin board.
FidoNet, and Gopher! ROTFLMAO!!!!
slash.net too?! /s
In the early 1980s, I worked for a company that had the first two Amdahls that rolled off the assembly line (mainframes). But I did corporate forecasting on my Apple, using Visicalc. The code for for mainframe took an overnight run, with more than 5 minutes compute time (at $200 per minute). On the Apple, it ran for free. Either way took the same amount of my time. Should have billed the company $200 per minute, but that was job security.
I can tell when Rush and Levin have been on FR. They’ll discuss an article and argue the same points we do but we did it 1st.
They radio it best.
I notice this all the time and that many times they are behind us on subjects.
No more than 24 hours behind though.
The rest of the media are so far behind they are living in the past.
That’s my Mom.
She will run through all of our names, stop, get stuck and sometimes try some other name we never heard of.
Tried the dogs once or twice.
Funniest memory is when she went through the list, got frustrated and blurted “Tell me your name and don’t lie to me. I know where you live!”
It's show prep, but it's become clear during some broadcasts that he, or other members of his staff, peruse FR (at least the news items in the sidebar) during the show. Things that are here can make the day's broadcast with 10 minutes sometimes.
And taglines (like yours truly's).
Looks like a 60's Taiwanese knock off of an Epiphone to me.
Certainly NOT a Fender Telecaster.
All four of my son's names begin with the letter J (don't ask - long story :-)
I used to think my mom got tongue-tied when she tried to call out one of us (seven) kids, but you oughta hear me sometimes (facepalm).
The only one I consistently get right, is my daughter, whose name begins with the letter B. Of course, her middle name begins with J, which I dare not call her too often, for fear of mixing her up with the boys ;-)
That indicates IMO that rush is no freeper.
Baloney. Rush is very much a freeper. He has quoted my crazy original brain verbatim from here three times. I had each one tattooed on my shoulder blades like Angelina Jolie.
Ok, that last sentence was just a joke. The Torah forbids me to tattoo. Otherwise surely I would have.
The maharushie can quote me any time he wants.
