I was just teasing, of course. ;-) Not that you were intentionally looking for him on other blogs, but the fact that you found him on one was something that I found kind of funny. Think of him as the dolphin you caught while trolling for tuna. Or, perhaps more appropriately, the sea worm you caught while trolling for signs of intelligent life forms.
Actually, I spotted him the millisecond he stepped in the front door here several threads back. I just wanted to highlight some of his "greatest hits" so that people will know exactly what they're dealing with and respond appropriately.
"Jake" is a Ph.D historian, a vet, a registered "independent", an old man horrified by today's incivility, fluent in many languages, and an expert on the law ... and -- mirabile dictu -- echos every "talking point" of the RW Mighty Wurlitzer over and over again (not to mention throwing in "red herrings" as fast as he can shovel 'em into an conversation to distract and disrupt).
Cheers,
