Thank you, Patrick.
I was once contacted by a credit agency wanting to track down a fellow fan who happened to work (quite indirectly) with me on a purely volunteer project. "Who are you, and where on earth did you get my name in connection with this?" I demanded (rather forcefully).
Eventually, it turned out that this collections idiot/person had done a web search, found my name as the project lead, and decided I had some obligation in the matter.
I asked for her name, company name, address, and phone number -- so that my attorney could contact them. She hung up.
Linkmeister @35: Thanks for that link. I like it -- and a number of the endorsement videos I've seen. TNH has also linked to the one from famous comedians talking about how the election is no laughing matter.
I'm not sure how much good celebrity endorsements do (and the research is also varied), but they are fascinating to watch. (The best endorsement of the last century, I think, was Colin Powell's clear, measured, and very thoughtful one.)
Serge @23. Thank you! That's great fun...and it's particularly interesting to see how the various ads and spoofs appeal to different age groups. This one is probably aimed at the 50-and 60-somethings (like me) who remember the original television show (or its first set of re-runs).
It's kind of a bummer really, for election geeks (and teachers of persuasion). Now the only way we get to see the campaign ads is to go to YouTube.
On the other hand...I can cope with that. :-)
I'm very troubled. It is 2:35 in the morning, everyone else in the house is asleep, and I was actually considering making this pie *right now* 'cuz it sounded so good.
My very best wishes to you both. I hope her boredom (and your likely extreme not-boredom) over the situation abates soon.
