From a conversation with Jack, slightly edited:

Jim: Imagine two guys want to date your sister.
Jack: Okaaaayyyy….....
Jim: One of them is a lapsed methodist recovering alcoholic who tends to act before he thinks.
Jim: The other is John Kerry.
Jim: Now, you might not really like the first guy…
Jim: but nobody wants a spinster aunt for their kids, and methodists aren’t bad per se, and besides, he’s friends with Michael W. Smith.
Jim: So, based on this twisted, perverse thinking, I will vote for bush.
Jack: Wow. I didn’t realise you did political analysis, too.
Jack: You are a Renaissance Man.
Jack: In a PoMo World. Geez, that has gotta suck.
Jim: I am a true generalist.
Jim: I simply lack an army of privatists to follow my orders.
