    Don't think I'd use the term MAGAT around them. 😄

      Good luck. A compelling face and story should be an asset.

        Good stuff. I know it's a "Long" shot, but bipartisan support is always good.

                Good luck with drumming up support. Fire fighters are always a good thing.

                  Damn today went well. I have some stories he passed along that I’ll tell later.

                  We got two members to say yes during our meeting, which never happens. Normally they at least have their staff do due diligence. We’ll get more signatures from today in the next week.

                  One yes from today was the chairman of the armed services committee. We got a photo op with him, which I’ll share later.

                  They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                          No I was using that as a forced way to use a pun Jon might recognize. Anyway, it did sound like their access to republicans was harder to navigate.

                              Last night in a cab I passed by a tent encampment on a closed city street. It was GWU’s version of the encampment. By the time I realized what it was it was too late to get a picture.

                                  The guy on the right in the top photo is the former FEMA director.

                                  Great guy. Had a meteoric career. At 32 he became the head of Alabama’s FEMA equivalent and was a member of Governor Bob Riley’s cabinet. He was tapped for FEMA at 42.

                                    Cool pics! Not to sour, but does the chairman have a self-portrait hanging in his office?

                                      You know, I didn’t notice it while there and when I looked at the pic I thought it was W. But you’re right, it’s a portrait of him.

                                        Funniest moment - we found ourselves in an elevator with 6-7 other guys, all middle aged in suits. One of them quipped “a whole lot of billable hours in this elevator right now”.
