I would bet he did, name recognition is a big advantage. I know I took a long time to figure out why his name was familiar - you know how it is with Congresscritters, especially Reps, there are so many of them that whenever a name seems vaguely familiar I have to think "Why do I know that name, are they evil?" so I have to look them up and looking him up never got me to Law & Order until Jesse made a comment about it and the light bulb went on. I'm not in his district but I bet plenty of people like me are. I"m glad he has turned out to be someone I actually like!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

I feel like a personification of the Gritty "Fuck around and find out" meme. I'm not even really mad (that was yesterday), I'm cackling in menacing glee.

The moral: do not piss off a technical writer who has run content planning PM thunderdomes before, it will go poorly for you.

What is even happening?
I didn't get the Adam Schiff Law and Order thing until right now, and I mainlined original recipe Law & Order for years. D'oh.
When Congressman Adam Schiff comes up, I always think of actor Richard Schiff (i.e. Toby on The West Wing), and then I waste an hour wishing we were in the Bartlet-presidency universe.
I mean...Sorkin was on drugs, but not the stuff that produces all this here.

Multiple PMs enter, one PM leaves with top priority for documentation. All other PMs must think about their choices and what bribes they're offering me.

One little irony occurred to me - the people who forced their way into the Capitol were, mostly, without masks (of course). I've heard that facial recognition software doesn't work well on anyone except white men.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, the lady who was shot apparently helped someone with his bag on the plane, so that just balances it all out.
