Jed Bartlett Called Me!. I have been amused listening to Dave Winer and others talking about the pre-recorded phone pitches from various politicians soliciting their votes. This morning, Dave said, "If you're undecided, go ahead and vote Democratic today, if for no other reason, because the Republicans are leaving those insipid voicemails from famous Republicans like George W Bush, Rudy Giuliani and Barbara Bush." LOL
But last night, my wife answered the phone and it was a pre-recording of Martin Sheen (aka President Jed Bartlett of The West Wing) asking us to vote Democratic. He's one of my favorite actors. And he can truly say, "I'm not the President, but I play one on TV." And he called me. Hah!
(FWIW, I'm a life-long Democrat who is, for the third consecutive election, voting a straight Green ticket except where Greens have no candidate where I'm voting for the Democrat. I am an unabashed Liberal who believes passionately that the positions held by liberals are the best hope we have of saving the planet. But the Democrats have slid over to make room for Republicrats and so us Liberals have been squeezed into the Green Party. Oh, well. Lots of room over here!)
