We've got 2 McCain robocalls so far today. I let them run full length so no one else has to hear it

I consider it a public service to let the thing drone on and on. At least if I've got a line tied up with it running that means that one less person is going to get the call.

1. I got one from Hank Williams Jr. last night..

I hung up, but I like your idea of letting it cycle through.

2. Listening to Hank Williams Jr. constitutes as torture.

3. So did I - by the way, who is his father?

Last week I heard a radio interview with some lady who had the rights to all of the Hank Williams early recordings. She was his daughter according to a Judge somewhere and so inhereted all sorts of very valuable original recordings. It was disclosed in the interview that she was born a couple of days after her father died and it took her many years to establish her legitimacy as his heir. So, who is this Hank Williams Junior? Nobody mentioned him in the court case they were talking about.

4. Are you talking about Jett Williams?

Hank Jr is her half-brother. Hank Jr's mother was married to Hank Sr but Jett's never was. Hank Jr was slow to recognize her as his sister but I think now he finally has, at least legally since the courts finally upheld her claim. I remember reading a long article about her sometime back.

Sounds similar to Cindy McCain's situation, I guess that's why they all hang together so well.
