Okay, it wasn't really him, it was his Robot. That's because it was a robocall and I think only Robots are allowed to make robocalls. It was a few weeks ago that Huckabee's Robot called me. It was supposedly some survey. I was wondering whether I should respond when Huckabee's Robot repeated the question again. Well, golly. Give me some time to think!
After a little bit more of this, Huckabee's Robot just told me to listen to Huckabee's (real person, not Robot) radio show. Listen up, Robot. I don't watch radio. And I get all my news and commentary from The Colbert Report. After all, Stephen Colbert is known around the world for Truthiness. So, you're not going to get me to fall for your spiel, especially when you can't even call me in person.
If you want to know if Huckabee's Robot has called you, here is the Caller ID information"

I don't have any idea what Huckabee's Robot looks like, but I'm thinking it probably is something like this.

Rachel Rachel Rachel
Really? You're calling me again? Oh Rachel, Rachel, Rachel. How can I miss you if you won't go away? Or, technically, if you won't stop calling me. It's been less than two weeks since you last called me with your baloney (bologna?) about my Credit Card. This time, according to Caller ID, you actually called from the same number as earlier this month: 503-902-8479. Why is that? You never identify which credit card I have. You say there's no problem but yet it is urgent that I call about eligibility to lower my interest rate.
Oh Rachel of Cardholder Services, please stop calling me. I will not take the bait no matter how many times you call.

Rachel called me. Again. The Caller ID said Pacifictel. She shouldn't be doing this. Here's why:
FTC Action Puts Robocallers Out of the Telemarketing Business.
If you haven't gotten a call from them yet, you can hear what they say. On the FTC website, scroll down to the 7th Paragraph, the one that starts out, "To hear telemarketing sales pitches..." and click on any of those links. It's Credit Card audio 2 that has Rachel on it and she is the one who always calls me.
Every time it's a different number that shows up on Caller ID. And businesses like this don't abide by the Do Not Call List. I haven't read through all this information on the FTC website here, but I plan on reading more of it soon. There are also tips for consumers about dealing with Rachel and all her cohorts.
Hopefully she won't call you anytime soon. If she does, just hang up.
* Update: She called me yet again on April 19.
