Larger Than Life

Talk radio diva Hugh Hewitt is on a top secret mission from God at the U.S. Naval Academy this week, and will not return to the airwaves until Thursday. In what must have been a Cheeto/Diet Dr. Pepper induced stupor, he asked the Northern Alliance Radio hosts to fill his gargantuan, orthopedic shoes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Never being ones to look a gift horse in the mouth (despite the reputation for chicanery of the giver) we have gladly accepted Hugh's offer. Ours not to reason why, ours but to do or die.

A last minute work conflict means that I will not be able to participate on Tuesday, but I should be able to join the circus for Wednesday's offering. Fraters own JB Doubtless will be joining Mitch Berg from Shot in the Dark, Ed from Captain's Quarters, and King from St. Cloud State Scholars tomorrow. In addition to regulars K-Lo from NRO and Frank Gaffney, Myrna Blyth author of Spin Sisters : How the Women of the Media Sell Unhappiness --- and Liberalism --- to the Women of America will be appearing as well. We had Myrna on the Northern Alliance Radio Show on Saturday and she was incredible. Her book is informative and entertaining. A must read.

Wednesday's lineup will include all of Hugh's normal stable, plus a couple of very special additions. Big Trunk from Powerline, Ed, Mitch, and I will all be on hand and we may be joined by another well known local quipster. If you get a chance tune in. Better yet call in. Just mention Bartolo Colon to get to the front of the line.

Those of you clamoring for a chance to hear Atomizer on the national airwaves will be sorely disappointed to learn that he will not be available. After hearing of our opportunity to fill in for Hugh, he began wheezing, and hyperventilating uncontrollably, before falling to the floor in a fetal position. He was last spotted furiously peddling a bike towards the Canadian border, clad only in a jock strap, swigging liberally from a bottle of Bombay Sapphire, and singing the lyrics to 'Afternoon Delight' at the top of his lungs.
