Groan..

A judge in Oklahoma City has declared the National Do-Not Call List illegal. I don't know if this will affect the state sponsored do-not call lists, but I'm telling you right now, if that goes away, I'm taking out my damn land line. I haven't gotten one sales call since we got on the list, and I'm not going back to getting 3-4 telemarketing calls per day, ever again. I hate telemarketers with a passion, and the 50 million people that signed up for the list should be a clue to companies that use telemarketing that we all hate you.

If a telemarketer called me with a product I had an immediate use for right that minute, I still wouldn't buy it. You all think I'm a straightforward-type person to my friends? You should hear me on the phone with a salesperson. Not pretty.

Don't tell me they're just trying to make a living. There's lots of things folks can do to make ends meet that don't involve harassment.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
