So some guy calls up and asks us for a meeting. He had a pretty thick Irish accent so it was difficult to understand him. We eventually figured out that he wanted to discuss sending money to Africa for AIDS relief. The guy also asked if we could arrange to have the new Minority Leader present. Having a can-do attitude and open door policy, we said "sure, why not", and made the necessary arrangements. So we went to Leader Boehner's office for the meeting and in walks this little guy wearing shoes with 3-inch lifts, sun glasses and an earring. He looked kinda familiar, but I just couldn't place him. After he made his pitch, he mentioned that he was in some band. After chatting for a while it turns out that he is somewhat of a Longhorn fan. While he didn't get his hook'em sign quite right (what can you expect from an Irishman?), it's the thought that counts. Regardless, I think the photo serves as absolute proof that all the really cool kids are Longhorn fans at heart. Maybe you'll recognize him.
Have a good week,
