Got the strangest phone call tonight [View all]

strange only because I don't know how I got on this call list.

I missed the name of the group "Freedom" something so I knew right away it wasn't coming from my kind of people. Then they asked me if I planned to vote for Jeff Johnson or Tim Pawlenty in next week's primary. thinks I.

I decided to take advantage of the situation and said "After what Pawlenty did to the state last time he was governor and what Trump is doing to this country, I don't see how I'll ever be able to vote for a Republican again." (I voted for one once, long story, a lot of DFLers did in that particular race. )

After a moment of silence the caller snarled "Have a nice evening." at me and hung up.
