I just got a phone call from Roseanne Barr! ()

Well, sort of. It was a recorded message from her about how I need to vote against Nancy Pelosi and for Cindy Sheehan.

It's a bit annoying that the FTC's rules on what constitutes a telemarketing call are so narrow, and don't cover political campaigning and the like. I mean, just because I agree with the message doesn't mean I want to be bothered on my cellphone. So, on to the FCC.

Problem is, the rules were passed by politicians who somehow managed to ban all unwanted phone calls except political ones. Fuckin Missouri AG running for governor actually mentioned in his campaign ads about how he spearheaded and enforces the MO no call law, while we get a dozen calls from his campaign.

Yeah, I got the FCC response form letter today which said, "Sorry, this isn't an infraction." Oh well.
