How many minutes are there between 9:15 and 10:00? (I say 45, but as we have established I'm a bit of a nonconformist.) More importantly, how many calls during the phone-in portion of the show tomorrow will be from people in Oklahoma wearing aluminum foil hats who believe that Bush is the son of God, but that he has been abducted and replaced by an alien robot, to whom the press are not being deferential enough? I'm hoping for at least two.

Well, you could be one of them (or at least pretend to be :-) I maintain I was invited along so as to make sure I wouldn't be calling in to ask either totally crank questions or ones that would prove too difficult to resist answering...

Wow, that was impressive even given my high expectations. And there was a gratifying abundance of nutty callers.

One could almost hear the aluminium-foil hats rattling over the phone...

...but herself was really heroically restrained, given the openings provided to veer off from discussing the Iraqi insurgency to topics closer to home...
