Have you remembered to pay heed to Barack Obama worship services at his inauguration this Tuesday? If you are a Verizon customer you just might be getting an urgent reminder of this sacred duty in the form of a robocall as related by Brian Maloney of the Radio Equalizer:

I sent a one word reply: "gag"
If verizon sends me a Robo-Call (or text messge) on this then I am switching my cell service to AT&T/Cingular.
I will not have my money (paid bills) to be used to promote a partisan cause (would they have done this if McCain had won), or at the Bush Innaguration if they’d had the network back then (technology wise to do this)?
My sisters are keeping their children home from school so they won’t be forced to watch the coronation.
Does DISH still have their Obama channel yet???
