Scarlett helps us decide between blue or red...

Before Super Tuesday...
...there is Annoying Monday! When we got home from work today we found over 10 messages waiting for us on our answering machine encouraging us to "get out and vote" tomorrow. Angelo and I are registered with different parties so we always get the junk mail and phone calls from both the democrats and republicans. (Which is actually kind of interesting.) We got calls today from all kinds of people including Cindy McCain (John McCain's wife) who called us twice just for good measure and also a POW friend of McCain's. We also heard from volunteers from Mitt Romney's camp as well as Scarlett Johansson who called to encourage us to vote for Barack Obama tomorrow. (We didn't hear anything from Hillary. She must have sensed we weren't interested.) The phone continued to ring all night with more exuberant callers with more voting advice. I am actually kinda upset that Oprah didn't call, I would have liked to have heard from her. The sad thing is these phone calls must work to some degree or else they wouldn't do it. I will be glad when this supposed "super" Tuesday is over with. Then we can just go back to our regular evening telemarketing phone calls that just want us to increase the services on our credit cards, not "rock the vote!"

Yet another person proving that a democrat and republican can be united under the same roof! We didn't get any calls -- maybe it's because we don't have a landline. Maybe it's because Scarlet doesn't like us. I don't know.
We got no phone calls last night either. But then, we don't really answer the phone unless we know who is on the other end (sometimes not even then).
I did too! My phone rang off the hook all day. Tuesday too. I was ready to turn it off!
