As a borderline pathological XM radio fan who can rattle off the channel numbers of "Cinemagic" and "Fine Tuning" and "Old School Rap" and "Open Road Trucking Radio" by heart, I enjoyed this anecdote picked up by the Los Angeles Times:

"I love lisning to your shows!" she wrote. "I love politics so much! I just have one problem, you are underestimating the number of days until the election! You are forgeting that 2008 is a leap year!...Plese add one day too your total to acount for leap day. Keep up the good work.
"P.S. Can you mabie read this on the radio? That would be super cool!!!!
"P.P.S. If you have time. I don't want to mess you up."
