Is it just me, or has the rat party become a collection of psychotic demogogues?

No, it's not just you.

My mouth drops open in shock so often these days, I'm starting to wonder why I bother closing it every time.

"Jackson Thereau", hmm.

Jackson for Jesse, maybe. And perhaps an allusion to Thoreau, who pretended to be getting back to nature by camping out in the woods a half mile down the tracks from Concord.

Pretentious leftist twit who's not using his birth name, I'd guess.
