So Much for the Do Not Call List
The Onion has a good story under the headline “Report: Al-Qaeda Allegedly Engaging in Telemarketing”. Good thing they said allegedly. Here’s a bit:

"This video, obtained from a credible third-party source, features grainy footage of a group of men strongly believed to be al-Qaeda members making phone solicitations for vacation-home rentals, long-distance phone service, magazine subscriptions, and a vast array of other products and services," CIA Director George Tenet said at a press conference. "Many of these calls have occurred, unthinkably, during the dinner hour."
