I did it! I fixed my Harrassing Political Phone Call Problem!

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!

One of the things that I won't miss now that I'm moving from my deceased father's home.

I don't have a land line.

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.
