WARNING: Do not do what I did. Do not grow so sick of those "Stop Obamacare!" ads on television that you decide, "Fuck it. Imma call those assholes up and give them a piece of my mind." Big mistake. First of all, once you call them, you get a recording of fucking Mike Huckabee, immediately asking you to donate money. You won't be able to make it through the bullshit long enough to talk to a human. I hung up.
And then,
I got a call from the 202 area code (no ID name). I answered it because I knew it was from D.C. and you know, me and Obama are besties, so there.
It wasn't Obama. It was those Huckabee bastids. I hung up.
But they kept calling. Every single week day, for two months. I couldn't block them because, while the calls always came from the 202 area code, the phone numbers were always different. Phone banks! Whee!
Then, this weekend, I came up with a brilliant plan that I enacted today.
The phone rang. I saw the area code - 202. I pressed the answer button and, in my sexiest voice, I said:
Harriet's House of Transexual Pleasure. May I have your credit card number please?
pause pause pause
Your credit card number please...
*Call Ended*
They hung up on me!

After the first call, I just kept hitting the Ignore button when they called. Like I said, I couldn't block them because each call came from a different number.
