So, answered the phone today, and:

Caller: Hi, can I speak with ---- ---- please?

Me: I'm sorry, she isn't home right now, can I take a message?

Caller: No, I'll just call back another time.

Me: May I ask who is calling?

Caller: The National Right to Work Committee.

Me: Is this about the Employee Free Choice Act?

Caller: No, this is about card check. [gargled, sounded like çar check']

Me: What?

Caller: *Card* *Check*

Me: Yeah, you mean EFCA, the Employee Free Choice Act.

Caller: No, it's about the card check legislation.

Me: That's what EFCA is...

Caller: Thank you sir, [click]

Congratulations National Right to Work Committee, on hiring people who don't even know what card check or EFCA is. If she had not hung up so fast, I would have told her what her talking points were for her, and why the calls she is making are contributing to the undercompensated, miserable working conditions she is surely enduring. See what happens, NRTWC, when you screw your workforce? You wind up in a situation where the only people who will consider working for you are drooling script-monkies. It would have been halfway amusing to listen to her stumble her way through her quota of bulleted regurgutation, but alas, that pleasure shall have to await another day.

The best part about being a Call Time veteran is being the recipient of political calls. Also be on the lookout for a Sarah Palin job performance poll by Americans in Contact PAC, which carried out an anti-Ethan Berkowitz push poll last October.
