Scoop’s Views

As I wrote on July 10, in the post, Rev. Jesse Jackson is irrelevant in today’s society, it seems he really needs to learn to shut hit mouth, stay out of the public spotlight, give up being a public figure, and not give any interviews — to local, nation, international, or even target-market publications — ever again.

Now, for the second time in a month, he is under fire badmouthing presidential candidate Barack Obama, running as a democrat.

I got thinking about that old column Saturday, while talking with a friend. Today, while taking a break from work, Googled for information about the tri-birthday holiday. One example that I found, sadly, was in Fairfax County, where MLK holiday was noted prominently, yet the “Lee-Jackson” day was relegated to nothing more than a footnote.
