Jesse Jackson Stands At The Ready .....

SO nice to see someone actually say this!

If someone pulled a product off the rack at the local grocery store and saw an expiration date from nearly 50 years ago, it would be shocking and appalling to an extent that the shopper might immediately drop it, recoil in horror, and likely kick it aside. If that reaction is so universally understandable, maybe somebody can explain why people haven’t done the same to Jesse Jackson, for his shelf life surely expired a long time ago. He still somehow fancies himself relevant, a wise elder who speaks for a downtrodden aggregate, when in fact he is more like a man attending a black tie dinner wearing a leisure suit, or the guy who shows up for a date wearing a Nehru jacket with Edwin Starr blaring on an 8- Track. The only thing missing is his Afro because nothing else has changed about him since the 60’s.
