Juan Manuel Santos, the president of Colombia, was at the University of Kansas at the same time I was. I never met him, although I was a classmate of his cousin Francisco, who later was vice president under Uribe. What people don’t know about Juan Manuel is that before he was minister of defense or president…

…he played an alien in the hilarious movie Galaxy Quest.

Okay, I’m kidding. I didn’t realize people would believe me until I started getting comments on my WP blog. Alicia and I watched this movie the other night and were struck by the similarity.
