Now I'm getting robo called by Mike Reagan

Aren't I the lucky lady. I waited for a human, at the end of the call, but no such luck.

If it happens again, I will merely set the phone down on the desk and let it talk, and thereby tie up one of their phone lines for a bit longer.

The Calista Gingrich calls have an eventual human, and after I finished with her, well, no more calls from Calista.

I noticed that, when he said "Talk Show Host", he didn't mention "CONSERVATIVE" ... was rambling on and on about energy, coal, natural gas, etc. in Ohio ... I picked up the phone (I use an answering machine ... saves irritation on the illegal robo-sales calls) and hit the button to hang up.
