That was hilarious! 

My fifteen minutes of fame was during the Gulf War, when I was given the opportunity to ask a CNN correspondant (via satellite) a question about the war LIVE on CNN (the 24 hour Missiles in Nightvision Cable Network).  So, I asked, "What is the administration's policy for protecting Kurdish Sheepherders during this conflict and why didn't this administration act when Iraq started gas bombing them years ago?"  I think it was Wolf Blitzer that stuck his finger in his ear monitor and stated that he did not have any info at that time.  I was hoping he would get back to me maybe by mail or perhaps the president might stop by and explain it all.  I was 20 years old, I had HUGE hair and I'm pretty sure I was wearing a Cliff Huxtable style sweater.

That's probably the first thing that got me on a list somewhere.  My mom has a copy of the video tape.

I think I now have 13 minutes of fame left.
