Your opinion matters to us.

First of all, I apologize for yesterday's blog. It was weak and cheap and I feel like a sellout. I was testing some software that let's you post blogs with product reviews and I have now vowed to never do a product review again... unless it's for a good cause, or a good product, or something really cool, or if I want to.

So yes "your opinion matters to us". Where was I going with that?

Last week I filled out a form online about what I think Utah's $1 billion (that's right, a billion) budget surplus should be spent on. The form is here if you are interested.

Today I got an email asking me to appear in a staged town meeting. The meeting will be shown on a KUED show about the surplus and will be "driven by a citizen audience who will be asking questions and voicing opinions".

Apparently my "strong views" on how the money should be spent have landed me a spot in the audience.

So my question to you, my loyal readers is, first- would it be totally lame to appear on this show? And second - what funny thing could I do to make this boring sounding show more interesting. Your comments are much appreciated.

Show up as a transvestite...they get all the air-time.

Run around the place naked, that's sure to get some press. OR you could suggest that all the money be spent on putting a crown burger and Cafe Rio on every corner. That is an issue that I think really needs to be addressed.

Well, is there a host for this show? And is it by any chance Geraldo Rivera? Because if he's the host, you can’t miss it.

A great way to bring some fun to the show would be to pretend you have turrets and shout the F word a lot. Then maybe after the show they'll invite you to attend a Maury Povich show. Score.

Here are some ideas:

1. Bear your testimony.

2. Order a number 2, supersized, with a Coke.

3. Recite the first verse and chorus of "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson.

4. Ask why no one in Utah is referred to as "The Governator."

5. Ask if some of that surplus can be used for your mortgage. Wait for the laughing to subside and then ask again.

Ok- here is the plan:
I show up naked wearing lipstick, eating cafe rio and holding a beach ball over my privates. When asked to leave I begin singing "A Moment Like This" but add a bunch of F words and ask if they'll pay for my mortgage.

Sweet- it's on.
