Rules Of The Game

Apparently a lot of our readers don't bother to read the instructions when they have to assemble something or the rules when they break out a new board game. Either that or they're glossing over the meaty substance of our posts looking for words like "applebottoms" or "Trashelle from the Real World".

For despite the fact that I quite clearly spelled out exactly how the competition to determine the best guest on Hugh's show was going to go down, I have received a number of e-mails asking "Where's Lileks?" and "Where's Frank Gaffney?" and "What about the other Smart Guy without the whiny voice?".

They're coming people. They're coming. On Monday the voting will begin on the second pool of ten guests. A little patience please.

I've also been asked why I have not included myself on the list. Although I am not a regular guest, the clip of my insightful analysis of the signing of Bartolo Colon does appear at some point on Hugh's show week in and week out. I even understand that a "Draft the Elder" movement has started to try to get me into the race.

While I'm quite flattered and humbled by the idea, it may be viewed as compromising the integrity of the competition. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the title of best guest on the Hugh Hewitt show.

Good night and God bless you all.
