From Wiki:

Martin was born in 1945 in Middletown, Connecticut.[9] He received a B.A. from the University of Illinois in 1966, and a J.D. from that institution in 1969.

In 1973 the Illinois Supreme Court refused to grant him a license to practice law in the state. It cited several instances of troubling conduct on Martin's part, including an attempt to have a parking violation thrown out because it had been "entered by an insane judge" and his description of an attorney as "shaking and tottering and drooling like an idiot."[10]

Martin had been described by state psychiatrists as having a "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."[11]

Martin then became involved in consumer advocacy. Calling himself "the people's attorney general," he takes credit for being the first to file suit under the civil component of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), as well as the first to file antitrust actions against the Big Three television networks for anticompetitive practices in network affiliation agreements.[12]

So what are you saying? Because he’s crazy, he fights for us, the regular joes? LOL

I’m not really following this, but I know people here are, so I just popped over to his site to see if he had updated—he had, so I posted it...I agree—Andy’s kinda creepy.

I think I am liking this guy more and more. That is funny and probably was accurate, but hurt someones feelings.

Sounds like your describing Barney Frank and it doesn't seem to have stopped him.

"Martin had been described by state psychiatrists as having a "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."["

Totally made-up "diagnosis". It means absolutely nothing. He was not diagnosed. It's the professional equivalent of sticking out your tongue at the guy and saying "I think you stink, na nanna boo boo."

Wow, I was born in the same town in 1940! Need to check out what highschool he attended but the name does not ring a bell. But then, my brain is rather old! :)
