Long ago, JJ Jr. proved himself a nutcase when he said Obama’s election warranted a new chapter in the Bible.

Maybe he is living an altered state from pot or bath salt abuse? Check his wife for bites.

Is he running for reelection?

Well, he's on the ballot. According to an article I read last night, he's done squat (campaign-wise) since he won the primary back in the Spring (iirc).

Would it be tactless to say that the wheels have fallen off Jesse’s chariot?

If he actually has BiPolar (or worse, Schizoaffective disorder like my son), then well, maybe it would be just a bit.

If the WaPo article is correct it sounds like he has had some sort of psychotic break. When my son had his first such break a few years ago, he had burst into the house one night in a panic, convinced absolutely that every car that was around him on the hiway was a terrorist trying to kill him. At the time, we didn't understand what we were witnessing, but now, thanks to our association with NAMI, we do understand it.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am now the coordinator for my state for the NAMI Family-to-Family education program - a 12 week course for families who have loved ones diagnosed with serious brain disorders.

I am no fan of Jessie Jackson Jr., but I would not wish a serious brain disorder like BiPolar on anyone - not even him.

BS on this. I don’t believe he thought he was in an alternate universe, he was depressed because of the federal investigation that could see him get 5 years in prison.

Sounds like you’ve taken on a very worthwhile endeavor.

All the best to your son.
