How Not to Win Friends, etc.

I made the mistake, earlier in this election season, of signing an online petition or two for some good cause or other. I have since been inundated with e-mails from everyone you can think of on the left, urging me to sign another petition, call everyone I know and urge them to vote, go door-to-door stumping for the Democrats, etc., etc., etc. They've come from, among others, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi. I'd be really flattered if I though any one of them had actually sent the e-mail or had any idea who I am.

I'm talking more than a dozen a day.

My response to all this activism: I voted already. I don't do phone banks or door-to-door, especially in this weather. Back off.
