What does this mean when people say their kids are published? Book? Research article? Poem in a collection? Just curious.
national level: chosen as a speaker to the US Senate and published in senate record (not sure if that is what it is called, sorry)
Not sure it matters but this is not what most people think of when someone speaks of being published. To be "published" in the Congressional record all it takes is for one member to move that something be published. There's all sorts of garbage in there. And by "chosen" as a speaker, thats not nothing but it just means his Senator promoted him for whatever reason, not necessarily the merits of his writing. Which is all to say that if he's going around saying he's been published based on that, you're right, he has a huge ego.
