Best thing about the presidential campaign so far? The incredible sense of power it gives me.

Not the power to help elect a new presidentm arguably the most powerful person in the free world, or to affect the course of the next four years. Not even the power to make my voice heard. No, I've been given the power to totally blow off some incredibly important people.

In the last few weeks, I have hung up on both Barack Obama and John McCain. I have cussed out, loudly and at length, the heads of both state political party campaigns, and even screamed at Jill Biden when her call dragged me out of the shower. Granted these are robocalls, pre-recorded messages sent out automatically, but there's still that wonderful feeling of power I get when I hear "Hi, this is Matt Damon, and I'd like to–" and I slam the phone down on him. Take that, Bourne! I've heard from sports figures and local politicians, and not one of them gets past my secretary ( i.e. me) to waste any more of my time.

Look people, I'm not going to believe anything your recording tells me over the phone anyway. You're hoping that the sound of a famous voice lulls me into believing whatever talking point is on the table because hey, we're friends now, right? We're talking together on the phone!

Well, my friends know better than to call me during "Pushing Daisies," Michelle Obama. Click!
