No, not the social security program, the survey company that calls me repeatedly to ask me political questions.

I am wondering if this is a Virginia thing or are these people calling other states.

They clearly seem to be Republican biased which means they won't be happy with my answers. But their surveyors seem well-trained to maintain a robotic neutrality.

I just got off the phone with one and I had begun to laugh at the end, I must admit.

I answered once and gave them my opinion as well. Unfortunately, they still call and no one is ever home.

I was feeling a little horsey, so to speak, so I answered it and decided to do it again, just to throw in another "Strong Left" opinion. They are varying the questions each round, evidently.

It can be entertaining, but you have to be in the mood for it.

Now, I don't do any but the phone keeps ringing.
