It turns out I actually went to school with that guy. Well, him and 50,000 other people, but he was there when I was. (shiver) I’m wondering if he ever wrote an Op-Ed piece in The Daily Texan, which now reminds me of another student whose Op-Eds used to aggravate us to no end. That author wrote a speculative piece on the outcome of a presidential election between Donald Trump and Garry Trudeau (this was spring 1989, years before Doonesbury’s Vera Coking/Sabatini’s story arc, so I don’t recall why she might have picked Trudeau against Trump). She was all about Trump, going on about how he was such a great individual. (Speaking of great individuals, she also wrote columns extolling Ayn Rand. At the same time, she’d write decent music reviews.) So it looks like that’s come back to haunt us, minus the Garry Trudeau part. Maybe it haunts her, as well – who knows how she’d feel about Trump 26 years later?
EDIT: I take that back, all this time I thought Cruz went to UT.
