TOO LATE, Robot Bill Clinton!

Your charming-yet-automated phone call comes too late, for we have already voted for Obama. Not sure if it matters in Massachusetts, but we'll see.

Side note: Is Obama doing any robocalling? If so, do they call it Robamacalling? Because they really should.

Yes, they do. No, they do not. Mostly from celebrities, according to my co-workers.

Is Ian a robot, I forget?

no, but I hear that "irascible-yet-lovable-policy-wonk-calling" is the next big trend!

When Ian does it it's called "Telefagia" (or the more/less correct Telephagia)

More of a cyborg. Okay, a wanna-be-cyborg.

However, I did hear this exchange on the radio on my way home from the campaign office tonight. Unedited and transcribed word-for-word as best I can recall it:

REPORTER AT HILLARY HQ: Yes, Senator Clinton was speaking to her [reporter's voice gets choppy; static; loud buzz]

NPR HOST: Well, I think we just lost Brian.

NPR HOSTESS: It sounded like he was eaten by a robot.

NPR HOST: Hopefully we'll get him back later in the evening. Or at least get the robot to tell us what's going on at Hillary's headquarters.

okay, that is just awesome. Who would've anticipated wacky NPR banter?

Yes. I just got a robocall from Stevie Wonder, telling me that he just called to say he loves me, and that I should vote for Obama. Too late! 'Cause I already voted for Obama. Ha! Wait...

Stevie Wonder loves me!
