On robocalling

[dvandom]

One of the joys of election season is receiving automated electioneering phonecalls, or "robocalls". Especially when they're deceptive robocalls made to sound like they're from the opposition. Usually part of the conservative side's bag of tricks (not always, but usually).

So, in light of this, in addition to NeoCons and PaleoCons, I give you the new robotic Republican faction of dirty tricksters...DeceptiCons!

Easily this makes Cheney Megatron, as he tends to shoot people in the face. Which makes him the most combat-experienced member of the Bush staff, I guess....

But I don't see 43 unfolding to become a wrench, a shovel or a rake, because he's quite obviously already a tool.
