Political phone calls annoying

The Norman Transcript

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:

Recently I’ve received more political phone calls than President Obama. My number is unlisted, I’m on the no call list yet my privacy escapes me. When I know I’m receiving a political call (3 or 4 times a night) I simply tell them I will not vote for people who do not respect others’ privacy. I’m considering getting rid of my landline in response to this problem. I moved my trashcan to the curb so I can give direct deposit on political trash to my mail carrier.

It seems Norman has lost its appeal as one of the best cities to live in. No wonder my Polygrip bill has doubled because there are so many speed humps in my neighborhood. I’m expecting us to be moved to Mountain time any time now.

Well now I feel much better getting this off my chest, must be the hot weather.
