We’re all for people rehabilitating their lives, but this does not bode well for future auditions of FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance.”
Don’t call us. You might be surprised to learn that politicians, unlike telemarketers, aren’t covered by rules for the do-not-call list. You can block calls from siding salesmen but not from anyone seeking your vote or donation.
