Got another robocall. Starts out "Hi this is John McCain."

And proceeds to repeat this sentence twelve times. I was laughing my ass off! What obsolete piece of shit technology are you using that the fucking thing kept skipping?! I know your campaign is broke, but surely you can afford something invented in the 90's?


Whoever decided to make robocalls legal should be shot non-fatally and left to bleed to death. I am SICK of them. Most are not as funny as this one was. Curious though-did anyone else get robocalled this election? With one exception, every single call was GOP-related. I'd vote against them just for annoying me with the fucking calls if I weren't already such a massive liberal.


Comedy Central is rerunning The Daily Show and The Colbert Report all day. Mom and I are watching the nice satire until election coverage begins at around 5. Took mom to vote. No waits. Of course not. We're in 'real' America. Although I think the longest I ever waited was in South Lyon, MI to vote for Gore in 2000. Well over an hour there.

No robocalls for me...

I only got one live phonecall a weekish ago from an Obama supporter asking if I had voted yet (yes)... And then asked if I wanted to go to Indianapolis that weekend (um... no)... Or if I wanted to work on election day (i'm a grad student)...

It was amusing...

I haven't gotten any robocalls. I haven't asked my mom or Andrea's parents, though. I don't have a landline, so I suspect that's part of it. Though, I was getting a lot of random phone numbers a while back and I didn't answer them. Hmmmm.

I think the longest I've ever waited to vote is on the order of five minutes. (Got distracted by an invitation for a site visit. Woot, and yay, and such.) According to 2000 census information, I'm guessing there are about 1900 eligible voters in my township, and maybe some 4400 in the adjoining city and township which are part of the same school system. Not sure why I put that there, just fun facts? Hahaha.
