In case you missed it, the dear, embattled governor of our beleagured and cash-strapped state isn’t going anywhere without a fight (and this is just a taste from the man who believes that his impeachment is a scheme to raise Illinoisian taxes). Which means that we’ll have to drag his gubernatorial arse and Cousin It-like hairpiece out of his director’s chair (which, oddly enough, is based in Chicago and not in Springfield). But a local radio station is giving Blagojevich an offer he can’t possibly refuse. If he will step down voluntarily from office now, WLS-AM will give him a two hour weekly radio show to blow his little ol’ horn about whatever the heck he wants. I’m sure that Roddy will do triumphantly in whatever format he chooses, but these are my suggestions for optimal priming and to help him make up his mind (add yours in the comments section and they will be added to the wonderful pot):

The Epic Heroes Radio Show:  Where RB reads from the classics of epic heroes, their myths, exploits, and shining examples and then reveals at the end of the show that, yes, he is Frodo/Odysseus/Herakles/King Arthur/Batman/Jesus.

Kranky Effing Yankee: All crank calls to the White House consisting entirely of bleeped-out verbal firebombs.

Keats, Longfellow, Wordsworth & Me: Two uninterrupted hours (except to introduce the pipe and/or tweed-jacket sponsor of the moment) of reading the greats. At the end, we will be assured that the hero of the poem is Blagojevich.

Hot-Rod the Shock Jock: “HaHa! Boobs! Fart! Poo! OOHH, that was a stinker.” (Let Rodderick loose on the mics with a sound-effect machine. Now, imagine the hilarity!)

Family Feud - Chicago-Style:  Do you have a powerful politically or financially connected family? Would you like to see that family bicker until it self-implodes and somebody ends up in jail? Bring them on to this show and let Blaggo work his magic!
