I hate to be a rat but ... a telemarketer (raising money for some shady Democratic organization whose non-profit status was not verifiable) called me today and I said:

"uh, I'm on the national do not call list."
"We have our own list."
"Well, there's a national list now."
"I wasn't aware of that."

Sure buddy. I pried the name of his employer out of him but when he realized what was happening he wouldn't give me the phone number. Nevertheless I had enough information to file a complaint at www.donotcall.gov. I expect indictments to be handed down shortly.
