My grandmother is the single biggest detriment to any system I could put in place to simplify my voicemail interactions. Her phone number is blocked to caller id, so I have to answer all calls in case they're her (fortunately, they usually are).

And any attempts to put up messages explaining my policy of not listening to voicemail result in tragic voicemail messages from her commenting on the outgoing message.

Fortunately, I am now using Google Voice. At first I was getting transcriptions like "thirty" for a minute-long message, but it's gotten a lot better and I can now get enough context to avoid listening to messages.

Speaking of dirty elections, I'm going to take this time to remember Garfield's election song from 1880 (used against Democratic candidate Winfield Hancock, a hero of the battle of Gettysburg, on the Union side).

Jeff Davis's name they'll proudly praise, aha, aha.
And Lincoln's tomb will be disgraced, aha, aha.
The nation's flag will lose its stars.
The stripes will change to rebel bars.
And we'll all wear gray if the Johnnies get into power.

Greg Machlin@ 54: I'd cast Idina Menzel as Inara, but the Menzel/Chenowith combination is hell on my mental image of Inara and Kaylee's relationship.
