13. I didn't mean to insult you or any other intelligent callers...I was...
...watching some Christopher Hitchens (he, I think, was sober or at least only one airline vodka to the wind) at something like 2am PST this morning and a caller called in, a gentleman, and he started rattling off the most obscure dates and battles(up to something like 800 years ago). Hitchens and the host look back and forth at each other and the host earnestly says "Caller, where are you going with this?"

"9/11, of course!" came the reply.

Normally if something is really really bad it's enjoyable (bulldada if you're a Subgenius), like a bad Kung-Fu movie can be enjoyable. However, this was so bad it was just uncomfortable to listen to. The worst part was the gentleman on the line actually sounded somewhat intelligent- he just seemed incredibly obsessed with obscure battle dates and their relation to 9/11. Got me to thinking about the majority of the callers...

Anyway, no offense meant!
