I Got a Real Chortle Out of The Fishwrap Headline This Morning
Governor urges UWF’s Bense to keep tuition rates flat
Because yesterday morning, I was standing next to my favorite gov when that university president walked in to the Aviation Center, looking every inch the stern academic. He leaned back towards me (which is QUITE a lean from his height, mind you) whispering, “That’s Dr. Judy Bense, UWF’s president.” He made the flat out/cancelling hand gesture. “NO more tuition hikes,” he said with a little smile. Wistfully.
Without thinking, I shot back, “Let me know if you need me to throw my body between you two. I can do it.”
He was still laughing when she and her companion got to us for introductions. I hope I helped.
I could take her AND the guy she drove in with.
I’d rather face a Marine infantry battalion myself.
