RNC: Now On My DO NOT CALL List
Alright, I get regular calls from the RNC on their “membership drives” (worse than KQED!). I also used to get calls from the RNC Small Business Council. Uh-huh, I was a member, but since they made four tries to get cash from me, with no result, they must have just stopped calling.
Now, it’s a different story for the RNC. Three times now I have let them have it, and I do apologize to the callers, it isn’t their fault. They are, after all, just the messenger. This time, in fact about 15 minutes ago, I joked around with the caller (she was a very nice woman) and made sure she knew I wasn’t mad at her. Then I said, “Hey, if they let you send them messages, tell them to wake up on more than just this amnesty thing! They’re not getting another dime from me until they wake up!”
She chuckled — I mean, who wouldn’t? The RNC is looking for more than just a dime from me! ;)
Is there no decency anymore in the RNC? I mean, I think Ronnie is turning in his grave right now (God rest his soul). Do these dolts not get that we really do know what they are up to? I love my party, and I love those that have the ethics and the guts to do what’s right (pun intended). But I gotta say, I’m so close to telling them to put me on the DO NOT CALL list.
Sheesh. Even if I were made of money, these guys still wouldn’t get a dime.

Now, why would KQED be calling you?
Didn’t your friends warn you that it was a mistake to order the music of John Tesh box set?

Well, many, many moons ago, I was a KQED member (brain-loss was excessive then) and then moved my donations (really, it’s a scam) to KTEH for Dr. Who, Red Green, and Red Dwarf! And, yes, I’ll admit, mostly to watch Jeeves and Wooster!
John Tesh? OK, for the $250 “donation”, I was ready to get the Mountain Winery tickets to see Tom Petty! JOHN TESH!? Whew, dude, that’s one run off the road this guy will never take …
You could have slapped me with a Yanni, or Michael Bolton (not the guy from Office Space, the freaky-hair dude that looks like a mix between Richard Simmons and Ted Nuegent!), or Barry Mannilow?
Eeks … ;)
Ha! I’m more a Led Zep, Kansas, Ozzie, Pink Floyd kinda guy. Pink Floyd and Chicago are the closest I get to “easy listening”.
