This really isn't all that interesting, but I figured I'd share. You know, because I'm a giving person.
Anyway. Ahem.
I just figured out that the Scott Stanzel I knew vaguely in college is indeed the press secretary for the Bush-Cheney Campaign.
I've been hearing his name for months, but there was never any video or
a picture shown that could tell me if it was him or not. Being too lazy
to Google, I waited it out, and I finally saw him on Fox this
afternoon, and yep, it's him. Hmmph.
To explain: his older sister was in my sorority and we knew him through
her. We called him "Little Stanzel," and talked about how adorably
earnest he was. I think I was even on a VEISHEA committee
with him. Or something like that. I vaguely remember talking with him
about something VEISHEA related. It's been a long time. I can barely
remember, which is fine because I'm sure he doesn't remember me. Upon
reviewing this post, I've determined its so boring I cannot even be
bothered to come up with a decent self-defamtory punchline. Hmmph.
UPDATE: 09/01/2004 Just realized that if we still lived in Des Moines, I
would have seen this as my connection to greatness. Now, well... I
don't really care all that much. I mean, people, come on. If I couldn't
be bothered to Google to see if someone I knew once upon a time is the
mouthpiece for the Bush-Cheney campaign, well, that speaks volumes as
to how much I really don't care about the election nowadays.
Is this one of those dreaded signs of maturity? Naaaaaah. It's a sign
of boredom.
