I'd be a lousy talk radio host

During my lunch break, I drove up to Frederick, MD, to pick up another of Kent's xmas presents, fill the gas tank, have the car washed, etc.. While zipping along, I was listening idly to NPR as they broadcast one of their local phone-in programs about local DC/MD/VA politics.

Why do people insist on calling a radio program when they have no clue what they're talking about?

I couldn't be a talk show host. My mantra would be "call back when you've done your homework," or the like. I have to do that often enough with my parents, perhaps it would be easier to do with complete strangers.

Nah, better not.
