Jesse Dearest

Jesse Jackson's latest comment will just show you how low this guy can really go. Remember his Hymie Town remark? That was quickly forgotten. The man is nothing more than an absolute bigot.
I would have had more respect for Sen. Obama if he would have totally cut ties with the Reverend Jackson.
Is Sen. Obama really talking down to black people when he tells them about paternal responsibility? Methinks not. The senator should be applauded for that. As for Rev. Jackson, he continues the myth of George Kingfish Stevens of Amos and Andy fame. By his actions, he continues the myth of African Americans as shiftless, lazy people. The black community ought to retire the Rev. Jackson from public life. Perhaps, he could write a book or go on a lecture circuit with Louis Farrahkhan. The two of them richly deserve each other.

The greatest laugh is hearing that new commercial for our children to seek out free lunches during the summer. I wonder if the person in the commercial has children in the New York City school system. The lunch food is absolutely atrocious. The odor especially from frankfurters and beans can knock you out.
You're much better off bringing your own food.
How do I know this? As a retired N.Y.C. schoolteacher, I spent many an hour on cafeteria duty thanks to our lovely UFT contract that allowed this. For those of you who say so what,? let me explain: Do doctors patrol the hallways of hospitals? Do lawyers patrol the corridors in the courts? You want the teaching profession to be regarded as just that- a profession! Great, now treat pedagogues in a professional manner.
Getting back to the food in the cafeteria, as I stated, it's absolutely awful. Perhaps, if it were kosher, we'd be far better off. No wonder there have always been food fights in the cafeteria.
How nice if our UFT leadership as well as the CSA spent some time in the cafeteria to get a first hand view of conditions there. The mayor and the chancellor could do the same thing. Snow will probably fall in August first.
