Two million?

The liberal/moderate in me sees this as potentially a big blow to the Bush administration, but the realist in me realizes that this is probably just a bunch of malarkey. The telemarketing industry is complaining that two million jobs will be shed between now and Christmas as a result of the no-call list. But two million jobs? That would mean that well over 1 in 100 Americans are employed to bug the hell out of the rest of us, and that just can't be right. If it weren't so, we'd be inundated with calls--and meal times would be absolutely impossible.

So, what's the real number--fifty to a hundred thousand, perhaps?
