It's hard to think straight and be objective when your phone keeps ringing.

I had a hard time condemning the "no smoking" law in California when it passed. I just enjoyed the benefits too much. Getting solicited on my cell phone has always got to me.

Welcome aboard, kholt!

This from your article is amusing.

But I would also name an accessory: The nation's media, which have yet to find a clear and effective way to report incorrect impressions and untruthful statements, particularly those that emanate from the White House.

I was under the impression reporters and journalists were educated and knew how to articulate themselves. What is their problem?

They're either as dumb as a box of rocks or there are no incorrect impressions to report.

but it's not immediately apparent to me why banning one and not the other is a violation.

Equal protection violation, apparently. If Congress would authorize the FTC to hobble together a do not call list for charities and whatnot to be operated parrallel to the commercial one, the problem would probably be resolved. I just wish the list would get implemented, pronto. I hate the bastards calling me all the time.
