Report: Obama volunteers will continue to annoy

The Winnebago County Democratic Party Friday announced today that although Barack Obama has been elected president, overzealous volunteers will not cease to relentlessly bother Oshkosh residents by lit dropping, canvassing and making tiresome phone calls.

"We really want to make sure that people stay on their toes these next several years," said Democratic county chair Jef Hall. "We won't quit until Obama is re-elected in 2012.


The Obama campaign volunteers in Oshkosh, fueled largely by college students and older social outcasts, were seen diligently knocking on doors during Packers games, making phone calls at dinner time, and ironically wasting hundreds of reams of paper while dropping campaign literature for the environmentally conscious candidate.


According to a recent survey, the campaign’s efforts caused about 25,000 potential voters to stay home on election day, citing pure and utter frustration with the political process.


"I'm an Obama supporter, but seriously, four text messages in one day? How many times do I have to tell you people I'm gonna vote for him?" said one resident.


On a related note, there were no further reports as to why Jef Hall refuses to include a second 'f' in his first name.

Well hell, I made that Jef Hall joke back in about...oh I guess 2004. But maybe it's up to others to carry the Torch Of Gratuitous Interpersonal Abuse into the future. I also used to enjoy writing Hall's name thusly whenever possible
Jeffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
see if you like that too maybe.
Your call. But remember that bringing up the Constituent's Couch Crashing scandal is passe. Not only because doing so is in poor taste, but because the local Dems have revealed it was merely a fundraiser, a variation on Clinton letting folks sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom for a donation or whatever he did. The Dems have vehemently denied allegations that Jef passed out while in search of another F.

p.s. You're gonna get your ass tossed off the ONW ya know. I read your last thing and saw that "Under Review" warning and I decided the hell with it. I'm tired of wondering what tiny little thing will annoy some editor when massively insane and obviously mean personal insults fester there every damn day.
Really I have NO idea what the problem was, I KNOW when I'm being "offensive", but those ONW folks are random maybe they have censorship quotas to meet). Well not really random, it seems if you are seriously insulting that is "Free Speech", but humor/parody/satire is not to be tolerated. Cuz journalism is held to high standards these days and none of THAT is ever offensive.
pffft, whatever.
anyway, Good luck with your stuff.
