I feel the need to share an e-mail I just wrote to my son with you people
... geedunk is probably where this is headed ...
*************************************

This is the third time the Kerry campaign has physically came over or called wanting to get hold of "*****".
Today's was one of the best:

ring-ring-ring (damn ... Jeanie's over at Marthas) ...
me: "hello"
her: "is ***** ***** available, please?"
me: "no, he's out at the moment"
her: "do you know if he'll be back soon?
me: "sort of depends on what you think soon is"
her: "Oh. I'm calling from the DNC, and wanted to touch bases"
me: "you probably can't get hold of him in time, then"
her: "is there another way to contact him?"
me: "yes, but you probably don't want to go to the effort"
her: "that's OK, tell me"
me: "well, he's either in Fuji, Japan, or maybe headed back to Okinawa
You might try calling his Marine commander.
They might set up something with the personnel department,
But I think you need to get hold of the base commander first"
her: "Oh, I see"
me: "You sent somebody over to the house a couple weeks ago, too"
her: "We did?"
me: "Yes. The lady walked past my pickup truck, which has a bumper sticker that reads SINK KERRY SWIFTLY. You know, the one in the pattern of the Vietnam Campaign ribbon?"
her: "OH YES ... nervous giggle"
me: "I'm guessing you're aware we differ politically, now?"
her: "(more nervous giggle) ... Absolutely. We'll remove the name from the list"

I love it! Good call!

It's fun to play around with some of these people when they call.

I just wish there weren't so many recorded messages. I've had four or five, today - three from the Bush campaign, which I listen to, one from an anti-Bush campaign, which I hung up and another from the opposition to the Senator for whom I voted, which I also hung up.

I probably should have listened to the anti-Bush call - but it started right off in a Michael Moore-on direction about secret plans for a 20% sales tax after the election. Good Lord!

.....I keep them on the line as long as I can. As long as they are talking to me, they are not converting another voter.

And I let the entire message play so they have to pay for the call. I just got a really bad imitation of Bill Clinton calling this afternoon!
