Feeling Famous in Wisconsin
President George Bush tried to call me Monday. So did Arnold Schwarzenegger and a couple other celebrities, all calling to enlist my help with the election tomorrow. Too bad I was not home to receive their calls and chat personally, but I am deeply honored to have their voices on my answering machine. And even though I wasn't there, they didn't mind talking to me just as if I had been on the phone listening. Wow, with all the pressure that these celebrities must have, to think that they would call little old me in Wisconsin.
Were they calling because of the influence of my blog? Perhaps because they've noticed the increase in page rank for many pages at JeffLindsay.com? Or were they trying to tap into my sphere of influence as the future President-elect of Deceased Voters for Kerry-Edwards?
Perhaps they were calling because my address is in Wisconsin and they don't mind using really annoying machines to regurgitate their pleading recorded voices into thousands of hapless answering machines.
Whatever the occasion, I'm deeply humbled and hope they call back soon so we can talk live. Maybe even do lunch.
Conspicuously absent on the list of celebrities calling us momentarily famous people in Wisconsin was Britney Spears. Come on, Britney - those of us in this voter-fraud-friendly part of the country need to hear your encouraging words: "Oops, I've voted again." And again.
