it reminds me of my youngest boy whos now 16 and 6'2" and 180lbs. But when he was real little he had a stuffed Grinch he carried everyplace he went. But when he was old enough to watch the Grinch Who Stole Christmas he had to come to grips with the Grinch being a bad guy. He would sit far away from the Grinch thing and just stare at it.

I think Brian was struggling with the same issue.

maybe we could talk about some of the promises Trumps going back on this week. Like the 401K thing. Or the $300,000,000 contract awarded to a company with 2 full time employees to rebuild Puerto Rico's electric grid.

Can we start figuring out Brian since he likes to assume about others?
Here's my bets:

28-35yr old (likely toward the right of that), white male.
Undergraduate education; likely a small school that does ok regionally but isn't all that renowned. High potential to have been private. Wondering who paid for that.
Doing pretty good in his second real job, well enough that he is making good cash and the bosses tell him he is going places based off his merits. (This enables choices like having a little one, but hasn't turned the corner to dumb enough $ to get a defender)
The first job seems to have been in academia but almost certainly not as a real academic. Perhaps adjunct, or just support staff.
Religious, prob not snake swinging but still fairly bible thumping.

I figured a little younger. Maybe 28 yrs old. I think he's lived a very sheltered life and probably raised by a single woman, maybe his grandmother. I think he's not graduated high school and is working toward his GED. He's not living in his mom's basement anymore but it's only cause his mom gave him enough money to get out with his new bride.

That's kind of grim, but you could have done better Stew.

These are half truths. Bible thumping? No, but don't see anything wrong with that. I could see why you'd lump a me in there and stereotype like that though. Don't leave your job at the Pentagon to become a soothsayer just yet Ray.

And hell, you know I'm a dog person, you didn't even mention that.
