Don't call me, I'll call you…

,

I just got a phone call. It was Fox News calling to tell me “shocking news about Hillary Clinton.”

I wonder who they had to pay to get around the fact that I’m on state and federal “do not call” lists.

And these guys just bought the Wall Street Journal.

    From what you described, this was a political phone call, and not a commercial phone call – and therefore is not a “do not call” violation. See _States_National_Do_Not_Call_Registry#Enforcement” rel=”nofollow”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
