Freaky-Weird

So, I'm at my local barbeque place waiting for some takeout ribs for lunch, and out of the corner of my eye, I see a face I recognize. As a hint, I live in Houston about 12 miles from congressional district 22. Ohmygod, it's Tom Delay!!!!

Now, it wasn't Tom Delay, but this guy was a spitting image of what Delay would look like if he lost 30 pounds. I mean, just dead-on body double. So, being who I am, I had to comment, and we started a little conversation. He told me that it's been just awful. He poured out like a man ready to break.

Around Tom Delay's various peaks in the public eye, people whisper and point at him. Sitting in restaurants people take pictures of him. People walk up to this poor guy to express support or say foul things to him. He said that around the resignation, he just stopped going out except when he absolutely had to.

Perhaps the funniest, his kid's highschool tried to enlist him to take pies in the face as part of a fundraiser. What a bizarre experience this poor guy has had just through freakish coincidence.

Just a little weirdness from somebody else's world.
