Heartland

For once I forgot to turn off the phone, and at 8 am stupid DNC called me in a cheerful voice from the East Coast to ask how many new seats did I think Democrats needed to pick up. The complete lack of understanding that the Midwest has a time difference and that people shouldn’t be woken up at an ungodly hour made me hate them with (an even greater) passion.

I feel like part of a despised heartland we hear so much about.

    I unsubscribed to the DCCC. I kept getting messages telling me about how all these Democratic celebrities e-mailed me asking for money, and I keep ignoring them. I’m thinking, “I’m not enamored by your celebrities!”

    What’s even scarier is that some people think that 8 a.m. is a perfectly fine time to call someone.

      The best part is that I tried to have an afternoon nap and that’s when they called again. I can’t catch a break today.
