We’re Next

Yep, we’re next. By “we”, I mean me, my wife, and the rest of us South Carolinians. We’ve been bombarded by campaign mailings, but those are easy to deal with (trash). However there are the phone calls. It was bad before, but the next ten days will be ring-a-ling Hell . . .

Robocall after robocall after robocall. We screen all of our calls with caller ID, and we let voicemail pick up for those more persistent robots (or real humans).

As for door-to-door people, we’ve only had one—a Cruz promoter that went away happy.

Nonetheless, we’re hunkered down in our humble abode, ignoring the phone, the doorbell, and anything crammed in our mailbox that looks like a campaign flyer.

Pray for us to survive. Oops, there’s the phone . . .

    I prefer the term “daemon dialer”. It captures the sinister nature of the calls.

    Stad: We screen all of our calls with caller ID, and we let voicemail pick up for those more persistent robots (or real humans).

    I may have found a better solution:

    I’m a little more than a month out. We have had more local race calls than national. I guess I should expect an increase in phone calls in a few weeks. Thankfully, I will be out of town the week before March 15. You need to teach the new cat to answer the phone like in Mis’s video.

    Be grateful you’re in a state that actually matters, Stad.  By the time Minnesota holds their caucus this thing will in all likelihood be wrapped up!
