I am 'SOMEBODY'

Laura Bush called me today....I couldn't help but think of 'The Stepford
Wives!'


I guess the 'do not call list' doesn't apply to candidates......the freaking
phone rang so often we quit answering and let the machine screen our
calls....

You were an Ohio Perot voter, serves you right. ;-)

I stopped answering as well. Although not before getting to chat with
Dennis Kucinich. That was fun- almost as much fun as getting to vote for
him!

I only got about 3 calls. Two of the automateds gave callback
numbers, so I did and told them to put me on their do not call lists.
The Bill Clinton automated call, which didn't give one was short, at
least.

The one I appreciated least was from the Paul Wellstone group. Hello,
guys, he's DEAD. And always thought he was kind of dopey even before
one of his aides used his funeral for a political speech. After that,
I assumed he had all around bad judgment and kept squirrels on his
staff instead of in his attic.

Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless. Really.

I only got about 3 calls.

I don't know how you managed that. The last week I got at
least 3 calls per day. One was even a non-automated call from the
actual candidate asking for me by name. SWMBO got it out of
him that I was being called because of demographic information
combined with my "not affiliated with any party" registration.
If that's why I'm being called so much I may have to change that.....

I got none, zero, nada. The one lady that came to the door who was
running for city council almost ran away in tears. She had all these
great "news bites" that she was gonna do, i.e. drop taxes, make it a
"destination city." Well, she had nothing to back it up. She lost.

I suspect the local bible thumpers put me on their "Do Not Knock"
list for similar reasons. I see them walking through the
neighborhood still, but they always seem to skip my house.
They apparently don't like it when you ask *them* in-depth
questions.

You'd think since they've got all the answers......

Ask them in, but don't let them leave. That'll get rid of em

Or pull a Carlin - meet them at the door naked with a beer and a joint
and ask them in to join ya...

Actually, the last time "they" (I didn't ask to which group they
belonged because I didn't care) showed up, some 3 years ago, I simply
said that we weren't interested, but we wished them peace and happiness
and to please save their efforts and not return. They (very politely)
persisted a bit, and I was equally polite but firmly told them they
needed to leave the property and if they returned, they would be
considered as any other criminal trespasser. They said they understood
and left. No one from any religious group has come back, no material on
the gate, or any other contact.
