Is a hot dog a sandwich?

I'm a firm believer that a sandwich has two slices of bread where as a hotdog is merely placed into a sliced piece of bread

A lot of sandwich shops cut their bread like that though. Instead of two separate slices, they're still attached on one side and the meat and other fillings placed inside like a pocket.

true. this begs the question as to whether or not a lobster roll is a sandwich.

Colbert brought up one of "the most divisive issues in our country": whether a hot dog is truly a sandwich.

"Is a hot dog a sandwich?" Colbert asked Ginsburg, to which she quickly replies, "You tell me what a sandwich is and then I'll tell you if a hot dog is a sandwich."

Sandwich is a vacuous term with no inherent meaning.

Not to suggest that isn't true of all words, but sandwich seems above average in this regard.
The question "is X a Y" is seldom really about whether or not it is, but rather how comfortable one is with loose definitions. And the definition most under scrutiny is neither that of X nor Y, but of "is".

Then maybe we should start calling sandwiches hot dogs?

Why?  Do they lump Ska, Punk, Prog, Art & Pop under "Classic Rock" as well?  The swine!

I've never heard ska considered classic rock. I've never even heard it on a classic rock station. 

Of course, I like ska, so i don't listen to the radio very much. Maybe i missed it.

The Specials (Monkey Man) & Madness (One Step Beyond) made it on rock stations.  Probably a few others I've forgotten.

Your station is better than mine. I've never gotten to hear the specials on the radio. We do get a few 3rd wave songs like once a year i guess, but it's incredibly rare.
