Re: Interview on WPR

Hey, Owen, that's great. Boy, an hour-long show. That's a call-in show, too. Get ready for the wing-nut phone calls.

Or, geez, I hope you don't get one of those duds where nobody calls in. How embarrassing would that be!

Come to think of it, as fellow members of the BBA, maybe it's up to us to make sure that doesn't happen to Owen. It would be embarrassing for us, too, wouldn't it? Kinda like watching a family member make an ass of himself in public?

I think we should each prepare a question to call in and ask, just in case they don't get any phone calls. For example:

Is it true you were named after Luke's uncle?

What exactly are the rules regarding nudity at the BBA?

Why are there exactly ten rules of governance? Isn't it a little odd that there would be such an exact round number of rules?

You say the state and federal constitutions are like the Bible - are you some kind of theocratic nut case?

Which is better: the Republic or the Federation?

If Howard Dean and Jocelyn Elders had a child, would the effect on its personality be exponential, or would the parents cancel each other out like two negatives multiplied?

And now that you have that image in your head, how long before you'll be able to eat?

Is it true both Republican governor candidates have agreed to appoint you to the U.S. Senate if they're elected and Russ Feingold leaves office?

Can you get me Lance Burri's autograph?

Just some suggestions. Feel free to come up with your own.

Here's the link to the list of stations, so we can all hear Owen this Tuesday from 7 to 8 am. The number to call is 1-800-642-1234. That's 1-800-642-1234. One more time: 1-800-642-1234.

Call early. Call often.
