I hadn't been there but a couple of weeks when Jay Mathis was running for Congress against Chet Edwards. HE came to speak at Chapel. He's in the middle of speaking when I see these guys bust in run across the stage, down the aisles, and throwing this newspaper to everybody. I was like, "ummmm ok".. So after chapel I picked the Rope up, went to New Testament class and started reading it. I remember pissing off my prof b/c I was cracking up in class at the articles and ads.
I was in Waco pre-Chet, but went to law school with Max Sandlin. He's a totally sold-out prostitute -- everyone knew he'd go into politics, but thought he'd probably be a Republican. He picked a Dem district, though, so he became a liberal Democrat. It's that easy, for those people.
Justice Pricilla Owen, too, was there when I started, and she is one sharp lady -- absolutely brilliant, constructionist all the way, one of the best judges we could possibly have.
If any of you can do anything to influence her confirmation this time around, stand up and do it! The U.S.A. can't afford to pass up this opportunity!
