When I hear Jesse talk about "fighting for change", I can't help but picture a supermarket. The CoinStar machine has exploded, and Jesse is shoving the welfare moms out of the way so he can get his. Strollers have been overturned, and the children are all crying.

They don't need no damn training. Just do like everyone else does. Find a job. Show up to work on time everyday, and there ya' go. You started a career.

You raise a valid point. Many buisinesses Just want a fundamental high school education, a good work ethic, and they will be happy to train. Many Americans pulled themselves up by their bootstraps this way.

[Guillermo]

He's done it on other occasions as well.

Anyone know anything about the group VOTE?

Hope there is a comparable outcry for Dorothy Tillman's most recent blovations about-was it Shearson/Lehman?-having a slave back in the 1800's.

Yes, Jesse compares himself to Jesus. I'm just waiting for him to say that he is more popular that Jesus ever was.

[ValerieUSA]

Jesus was an afterthought in Jesse's list of fellow persecuted leaders.... after the adulterer King and the communist Mandela.

[Jorge]

Help me, somebody; my eyes rolled up too far into my head, and now they're stuck.

Call Jesse. I'm sure, like Jesus he can heal you of your eye-rolling affliction.
The idea Jesse compares himself to Jesus makes me want to heave chunks.

[Paul Atreides]

Those were the guys, whose wives/girlfriends have a kid who looks like Jesse.

[Mo1]

Ummm ... Jesse, your days of being a political leader are number

Looks like folks are waking up to your BS lectures

[rface]

Rev. Jesse Jackson, selfdiscribed as Dr. King, Nelson Mandela and Jesus all rolled into one lovable little fuzz-ball.

when the ex-offenders start cussing J Jackson, then you know he got troubles

maybe the vocal Jackson-haters got Michael and Jesse confused?

[BBell]

As much as I hate to say this, Louie takes care of HIS own.

[dware]

I had to read the title twice. At first I thought it was about Jesse Jackson being the next involved in a sex scandal...

"...A smile for your evening..."

It worked! I'm smilin'.............FRegards

[hellinahandcart]

Jesse is the cause of my affliction, not the cure. :D

[BBell]

Jesse worries about confederate flags. Jesse worries about alleged racial incidents at concerts, High School games, traffic stops and so forth.Jessie worries about people not being able to punch the right hole on a ballet. He doesn't have time to worry about jobs, black on black crime, out of wed lock births...these are trivial things to be handled by the government.

[Walkingfeather]

Hmmm hell looks to be a bit chillier ....

[Zipporah]

This is unbelievable.. I thought I'd never see the day.. guess Rev. Jesse Peterson is making a difference. I hope this link for the video works ..

[Coroner]

No but he does remind me of a so-called prophet..........I'll give you a hint his name starts with an "M"

"Somebody just figured out that the rainmaker is making plenty of rain for himself, while they're all bone dry."


Well put, and won't be the first or last time that happens either.
