Tele Phony 2
From yesterday’s local rag. Jerry Dorchuck, quoted in this excerpt of Tom Ferrick’s column, runs a company that does automated telephone campaign calls:
You have no idea who’s paying the bill or where these things emanate from.
It can get rough. Dorchuck told me he has turned down business where a candidate’s campaign wanted calls made to voters between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. – and have the message tout his opponent.
I will be that there is somewhere someone who took that job.

Ah yes, the old Chicago campaign tactic of driving a truck through the neighborhoods at 3 AM, praising your opponent lavishly, over a loudspeaker.

With new technology.
I prefer real live human being calls. Then they can hear me hang up.
