THE SENATE CALLS — by Steve Nadis
Yesterday, as I was getting my daughter ready for her preschool Halloween party, I got a call from a prominent Senator who said that some other bigwig had suggested he talk to me. I was writing about reforming the intelligence community, and he had been on the Senate Intelligence (not an oxymoron) committee for about a decade. It’s not every day the Senate calls, so I decided to speak with him, even though we were supposed to leave for the party. But my daughter had other plans and created enough of a ruckus–shouting, banging, and tearing apart my office–that I had to say, “Sorry ___, this really isn’t a good time. Can I call you back later?”

I betcha that Senator was glad your kid’s not voting yet.
Fortunately he’s in another state.
I thought you were a science, volleyball, handball and occasional movie preview guy. Now you do intelligence work? (Not that your other work doesn’t require intelligence…)
What can I say, Gatemouth, I have hidden depths. And we’re talking way-down-there depths…
