Just got robo-called by the Carson campaign

It was a long, rambling pack of lies but I hung on, hoping to get an actual person, which is what happened when I got robo called by Calista Gingrich, a few years back. No such luck, this time. However, I was informed if I did NOT want to get any further calls, I could call some 800 number!?!?!?!

Unfortunately I was nowhere near a pen, to write it down but I bet if I called that number, it would be an automated, non-human service, too.

Ben Carson's highest and best use is as a sedative when you can't get to sleep. He puts me to sleep when I'm not even tired.

I kept putting the phone down, because I was making a big pot of Navy Bean Soup, at the time. Priorities, priorities. I'd pick it up long enough to hear if he was still droning on and on and on. It was a VERY long and dull robo-call.
