The problem for Brandon, as I see it, is that Jared is a likeable guy. Also, as a lot of Americans do, he tries to overcome the smell of the shit sandwich he's been given for lunch with a touch of humor, like talking about the trees that would have to come down for his son's Christmas wish of a grand piano.

There's a lot of guys like him out there that keep the country running in spite of the bullshit handed down from DC. Wise ass humor, best humor. It gets the job done. Brandon's gang kryptonite, apparently.

So, now it looks like he may of been just calling up NORAD for his little kids and got patched in to Brandon. IOW, he may not have been attempting to call Brandon just diss him, rather, he found himself in the situation and took advantage of an opportunity. Jared's actually very glib. Has a quick mind. Thinks on his feet. Not too many who could pull it off like he did. Funny to see the libs screaming, "No repsect!!!11!1!", after Brandon sends out the compassionate Christmas message of, "you fuckers are going to crinkle up and die, you'll see. Fuck you, if I forgot to say it before, too".

Real issue is the WH fucked up by letting the comment get to Bidan, and doc fucked up by not being sharp enough to cut in. She may be as dumb as Bidan is. Once Brandon has it, it's all over but the shouting. If it isn't choreographed up the ass, Bidan will fuck it up live and in color. The WH gang may have to re-introduce the Vaudeville hook shortly.

This FUBAR was so bad the WH team couldn't even be trusted to put the Christmas calls to the GIs up live. So maybe he system is so fooked they couldn't fix in the 24 hours or so they had between the sessions.

The whole outfit is incompetent, but that Jared's fault, somehow. The Jared's out there is why Howard Cosell was so big back in the day.

Like Tetanus shots, you mean?

I agree. There used to be a time when people formed an opinion with the understanding that they could be wrong. That may have been related to the situation that there were no "instant" answers and some research and using the appropriate reasoning was necessary to get to the opinion they felt most likely to be accurate. That meant it was necessary to be aware of alternate possibilities to determine from. If you were wrong, a minor adjustment, considering what you didn't choose from, may be all that was necessary.

Now everything is an "instant" answer on a cell phone. I've asked a question and seen't the person I asked type in a search and the top response said that the question I asked was the basis for a debunked, current "Conspiracy Theory". I think it was about Uranium One. That's where we are.

Standardized school testing aggravates this, in my opinion, because all curriculum and outcomes are based on the students knowing the "right" answer based on what the State in question says it is. It's all binary via multiple choice. Everything comes down to a yes or no. So, there's right and there's no.

It leads, I think, to an unhealthy obsession with being "right", even if psychological or physical force is necessary. Maybe because if it isn't "right", there's only a black chasm as an alternative.

This is what they have in Germany. Bologna in loaves. Thick slices fried up. Good stuff.

I live on the Thuringia border. They're OK. Best German sausages for me are out of the Pfalz, though.

There's a local butcher who has good ones, but it isn't like the Pfalz to me.

I won't argue with that.
