Kvinglish Literature

After losing my phone twice in Ghana, I’ve been left trying to recreate my phonebook through a backup I made a year ago, and filling in missing numbers as people call me. Unfortunately, since the Iowa Caucus is coming up in a few days, I get about six calls each day from the 515 area code that are just recordings of candidates asking for my support. Do robocalls work on anyone? Does Joe Six-pack, sitting at home enjoying a frosty Coors light interrupt watching the hunting channel to pick up his phone and think, “Ya know, this recording of John Edwards is right! I should go support him in the caucus. I know it’s been the only thing on the news for the past month, and the political adds come on every commercial break, but this call put me over the edge. I’m going to my caucus location and voting for HIM!” No, obviously not. So stop calling me and let me enjoy my break in peace.

Happy New Year!
