The robo-calls hit a fever pitch this weekend.  At last count we’d received six calls on Saturday, but I might have missed some since we have standing orders with the kids to erase all political messages before the message is done playing.  We heard from Republicans and Democrats, but unfortunately we didn’t hear from the candidates themselves.  The Republicans had a sultry sounding woman call us, but since she didn’t end her sentences with the "ya" sound I’m assuming it wasn’t Sarah Palin.  We had two chances to try and figure it out, though, because we heard from the Republicans in both North Carolina and Virginia.  It was awful nice of the Virginia Republicans to call us, but as residents of North Carolina I’m not sure what we can do for them in their "crucial battleground state." 

We also heard from T. Boone Pickens.  Something about his energy doo-dad, but he lost us after his first sentence and he was promptly deleted.  Maybe he’ll call back.  Actually I’m pretty sure he will since we’re one of the seven households in Forsyth County that still has a land line.  If this keeps up we might finally have our impetus to finally dump the wire.

November can’t come soon enough.
