Jim
Suits is a recent college graduate, having received an AB in Political
Science from the University of Michigan in 2005. The lure of a
job offer found him in Washington, DC, but his long-term plans
are still fluid. He may even eventually end up in graduate school.
He was born in the lower west side of Philadelphia, and subsequently
relocated(without any say in the matter) to Houghton [Ho'n], MI
where -- contrary to the wishes of a local canis lupis -- he lived
out his childhood. He moved to Ann Arbor when starting at UM in
August 2002, and then to the DC area in January 2006.
Jim neither practices nor endorses any religion, and his Immortal
Soul is probably beyond saving -- something that pamphlet-wielding
missionaries around town seem loathe to realize. A libertarian
at heart, he not only forges his own personal and political opinions,
but is a card-carrying member of the ACLU.
Though
fluent in English, with some knowledge of Spanish and Russian,and
a very elementary acquaintance with Arabic, the fallout from
the ancient Tower of Babel is almost as much an obstacle to
his ambitions of world domination as the insolence of Number
Two.
Jim
has a small number of strange quirks that nobody can adequately
explain. He insists upon using British spellings, for example,
operates on 24-hour time, and doesn't watch TV. Despite this,
he is officially sane -- and has a photocopy of a photocopy
of 13-year old documentation signed by a dead neurologist to
prove it.
When
he's bored, Jim likes to catch up on all the sleep he missed
as acollege student, and look for a new job now that his previous
contract has expired. He loves hearing from people, even if
they don't have anything particular to say.

The

last May; the one on the left is from a week and
a half ago, on my last day working for Close Up.
The foundation keeps costs down by furloughing
half their staff from the end of June through
mid-October. And then they wonder why they can't
retain anybody.
