Where's My Show?

Bloggers hit the big time over the weekend. Rathergate broke on Free Republic, picked up by Powerline, and was beautifully driven home by Charles Johnson over on LFG.
So, now both Powerline and Charles are on the radio, making pajama jokes and making like bigshots.
I used to be on the radio, back when I was but a little Rubeling. We played early 80’s music, even though it hadn’t been out-of-style long enough to have been cool yet. They kicked me off because I got piss-drunk on Jim Beam on-air, and launched into a 10-minute soliloquy about Skylarking.
Coolness under pressure has never really been my strong point. It’s probably a good thing that nobody called me to be on the radio. I would probably embarrass, nay, completely discredit the entire blogosphere I do so love, by showing up drunk and doing one of those I-love-you-man things in front of God and everybody.
