Tonight I saw a meme that said you could report the location of Democratic members of the Texas legislature who have left the state. The number is 1-866-786-5972. Being the intrepid blog reporter that I am, I called the number. A guy answered the phone immediately and said something about it being the number to report crimes or law-breaking, and that making false reports would be breaking the law.
I asked him if you could report missing Democratic legislators on this line, and he repeated the same thing and said that if I did not have a crime to report, the call would be terminated. He then repeated the first message. I didn’t record the call.
I then asked him if he (it?) were a robot. He began to repeat the message about terminating the call, and I think there may have been a threat of prosecution involved. At that point I hung up.
If I do not post tomorrow night, you know the Texas Rangers traced the call and were here to take me away. In the meantime, the Texas legislator I am hiding in the attic is demanding a Dr. Pepper and a Frito pie.
