August 20th:

Senator McConnell: MWA HA HA HA HA I AM MUSTACHE TWIRLING EVIL AND IF WE WIN THE SENATE WE WILL FORCE OBAMA TO MARRY US CUT HIS SPENDING PROGRAMS
CREDO Mobile Action Committee: *sends out solicitation to members asking for contributions for next round of elections*
Yours truly: *sighs and kicks in*

August 27th:

CREDO Mobile Action Committee: Hey! HEY! Do you remember what Senator McConnell said JUST LAST WEEK? The Republicans are going to PUT EVERYBODY ON A TRAIN AND MAKE THEM EAT BABIES SHUT DOWN CONGRESS IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T MARRY THEM CUT HIS SPENDING PROGRAMS. Do you not REMEMBER? Are you not TERRIFIED?
Yours truly: *unsubscribes*
CREDO Mobile Action Committee: But WHYYYYY
Yours truly: .... seriously?


Look, guys, you're the action wing of my phone company and I love what you do, but if you keep sending the exact same THE STREETS WILL RUN WITH OUR LIQUEFIED ORGAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS message and don't at least cross-check it with 'people who have already donated and therefore should probably get an email message referencing a different threat this time', it's not going to help. I'll come back later, but right now I'm still dealing with the facial tic that usually only erupts when I don't get enough sleep, and would prefer not to have it touched off by anxiety and/or the desire to go into politics just long enough to challenge everybody in Congress to a series of broadsword duels.

I have a new policy: every stupid action group that I give to gets unsubscribed the next email.

EVERY ONE.

Because there is not enough time in the day for all the emails about things I do and don't care about, repetitive and otherwise, that they bury me in.

And it's deep enough I sometimes wonder if they're secretly working for psychiatrists trying to drum up business by making us all anxious or depressed.

But the broadsword duels sounds like a great idea! Think of what it would do for CSPAN's ratings.
