My friend Thud has a post up this morning describing robocalls he and his father have been receiving in Virginia, and rightly noting that in his case it's a complete waste of money and effort.

I can top that.

Being now registered voters, my wife and I have received several mailers from Obama this year, outlining his programs and encouraging us to vote for him. So far, we haven't gotten anything from the Republicans. However, Harold Dohoney, at this address, has so far received four Republican solicitations.

Somehow, I don't think Mr. Dohoney is gonna make it to the polls this year, even with early voting. I bought the farm out of his estate. "Honk" died in December of 2001.

The parties get these names off the voter rolls, don't they? So why hasn't Obama been mailing Honk his tat, too? Methinks the Republicans are truly living in the past, and probably haven't updated their mailing lists since at least 2002, as that's the purging cycle in Indiana.

Morons.

Max and Maxine Headroom for the GOP

For a while we were getting one or two calls a day from the Republican Party, all of them robocalls. On two occasions the soundfiles were jumbled and stuttering so much that it was impossible to determine what evils the Dems were being accused of on the call. Not only is the GOP impersonal, but they can't even use technology properly. Talk about living in the past.

Maybe it's not so crazy after all...

..because maybe the Republican'ts are going to vote, on his behalf, for the republican'ts? I keep on hearing stories from Republican'ts about how Democratic politicians seem to get tons of votes from dead people. Maybe they're projecting again?

And here I thought it was the Democrats who relied on the votes of dead people.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
