to be fair looking at the actual course content of "Meats" it would be easy to see why he got a D because he's not the brightest crayon in the box

quote:

In an email to Mic, course instructor Dr. Jeffrey Savell explained ANSC 307 Meats is an advanced science class requiring students to demonstrate understanding of animal biology as well as regulatory and safety requirements in meat production.

"Animal Science 307 is a rigorous upper level science course that covers growth and development of food animals; antemortem and postmortem factors affecting meat quality; USDA inspection and regulatory requirements for the harvest and processing of livestock and muscle tissue; and the chemistry of meat color and preservation," Dr. Savell wrote.

On the one hand, he was on the edges, as he was the administration's representative to Zelensky's inauguration after Pence got pulled from it. On the other hand, the DoE gig isn't exactly as lucrative as other poo poo he could be doing, like working for a Texas oil firm doing nothing and/or greasing the skids of the state government.

I don't think he was involved.

Wasn't there stuff floating around about selling our nuclear info/tech to Saudi Arabia? DoE would have been a part of that wouldn't they?

Totally pulling that out of my rear end but hell, I'll take the shot in the dark.

It's not rigorous but Perry was a solid C student with a handful of Bs in easier courses.

Also, Perry's been planning his exit since before April, and Trump not being a total piece of poo poo towards him has been the only thing keeping him around. Dude was never comfortable in the DoE spot and wants to go back home basically.

By the way, the published texts basically kill off the "no direct evidence!" and "no quid pro quo!" defenses. I'm curious if the reveals will be outright ignored or they will move onto the next dumb argument.

Agreed, the everyone rightly remembers the early to mid seasons being excellent but either forgets or didn’t watch the show getting downright terrible near the end. Seasons 10 and 11 had a few winners like Church Hopping or Grand Theft Arlen, but we could totally lose 12 & 13. Just try to watch “Lost in MySpace” without becoming sad.

The quality fell off in the last few years but all the truly bad episodes can be counted on one hand . Mrs Wakefield, the canadians, and ZZ Top. I can't even hate the Orange County Choppers episode because it was such peak Mr. Strickland.

I liked the ZZ Top episode. The whole reality show getting regeared to piss off Hank and cause him to have outbursts, and everyone whoring themselves out for screentime was good.

You want to know what episode I loving hate? The dog dancing one from one of the first seasons. Our local FOX affiliate's syndication package was funny or something, and this episode seemes to play more than any other. I will turn off the tv rather than ever watch it again.

He is absolutely not competent, he's just the only one who recognizes that he is incompetent and wisely stepped aside to let the smart people work. His predecessor was a nuclear physicist.

The bar for competency has never been lower though. Perry the only one who aint dragging his feet

Yeah the ZZ Top episode isn’t top tier, but has one of my all time favorite Hank moments when he explains how they tricked him into going to work after Tom Landry died, and he’s still mortified.

Also, if you ever see a used copy of the book “The Boy Ain’t Right,” it was written by the staff when they were on the top of their game.
