re: #9 goddamnedfrank
I graduated from university 40 years ago and I remember being disappointed that our commencement speaker was the head of the University of Texas system board of regents. I don’t remember the guy. I do remember that he used his bully pulpit to get us to vote for a/some constitutional amendment(s) on the 1984 ballot. No, I don’t know what they were, and it wasn’t until I went to law school that I understood far more clearly why the Texas constitution is so fucked up.
But I definitely remember what a buzz kill this guy was.
