Shameless Name Dropping

Did you know that I have had lunch with Mike Hayden?

As Kurt Angle would say, "Oh, it's true. It's damn true."

I wasn't going to say anything about this, but I've had blog writers block for the past few weeks, so forgive the obnoxious name dropping.

At the time (spring 2000, I think), Hayden was an Air Force 3-star and was head of the NSA. I went out there with some other guys from my office, and we had lunch in his private dining room, and saw his Steelers memorabilia. That's about all I remember from my trip to the NSA. Oh, and my salad had some gross hard boiled egg on it. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but I seem to remember him griping about Enemy of the State during lunch. If I sound bitter, it's only because I find the NSA totally impossible to deal with, especially since he left there to be the deputy director of national intelligence.

There. Aren't you glad I updated my blog? Wasn't this worth waiting three weeks? How many other news reports about Hayden getting tapped for CIA director had this kind of detail?

Tune in again three weeks from now for an exciting post about lunch with Lou Dobbs, serving a drink to Ted Kennedy, or what Pete Yorn REALLY thinks about Dinosaur Jr.!

No, I've already heard the Lou Dobbs story. Got any good Buddy Guy stories? Or was that about your friend? Anything about Juliana Hatfield totally hating you?

Does that Lou Dobbs story include gun play? If so, I would not be surpised.

Do have the a story about Buddy Guy meeting Ray Guy? American needs to know.

The Lou Dobbs story involves only imaginary gunplay...of me shooting myself at what a jerk he is.

How about when I met Jerry Glanville?

Lou Dobbs, Pete Yorn, Dino Jr, Juliana Hatfield, and Jerry Effin' Glanville? Dude, sit down and knock 'em out. I got nothing else to do at work.
