Received recorded survey call today from Arcola, VA - 703-348-7839 - conducting "scientific" survey. What the heck. First question, gender. I passed. Second question, are you R or D? Guess I passed that, too. Do you support Obama's performance or not? Failed that one. Survey stopped. No further questions. Doesn't strike me as particularly scientific, unless it's the R playbook on science, in which ch 1 puts the age of the planet at something like 150 years old. Don't bother answering the phone if that number shows up. They are persistent, by the way. First call was received this morning - I ignored it. Got another this evening.
