Let me give some background. Jim is a die-hard Democrat. Jim is the kind of guy who does not hold anything back and will say whatever he is thinking. Generally this is very embarrassing to the person unfortunate to be with him at the time. The last time Jim and I went out (Hotel Rwanda) we passed through Dupont Circle and ran into some anti-abortion protestors who he had a few choice words for. They were very sweet and just said "God bless" to which his Jewish self replied "Not my God". I mouthed sorry to the girls and shooed him away. In essence, he can be a trouble maker and an ass just to be one.
So, Saturday night was the White House Correspondent's Dinner. Jim was out on a date with a girl who is a Republican and happened to take her to a very late dinner near an afterparty for the WHCD. As they were hailing a cab who should appear but Paul Wolfowitz. The poor, misguided, obviously ignorant or brainwashed girl began to tell Wolfie all about how she admires him and all the good he's done for the country.....all while holding her hand over Jim's mouth as he was shouting "You are evil. You are evil." The cab pulled up during this, Jim put the girl in first and then as Wolfie was trying to enter the cab to share with them, Jim shut the door on him and said out the window "I'm not riding with the devil."
Bravo Jim. Bravo.

Plan B, I think it is wonderful that you have teenage boys as friends. It helps keep one young.
