Fake Friend Friday: Misrepresenting Yourself
I’m going to name drop, here. Beto O’Rourke actually texted me yesterday – on my personal cell phone (name dropping doesn’t work unless you know who the names are, so just know that Beto O’Rourke is the Democrat candidate running against Senator Ted Cruz here in Texas.)
