   More jokes NOT to use as ice breakers (especially at family gatherings)

   What’s the difference between Terri Schiavo and a tomato?
   
   A tomato’s not really a vegetable.

   I’m sorry…Jesse who?  Is he connected to the Michael Jackson case somehow?

   cjrtx –
   
   Your problem is that you’re assuming that the Rev. Jackson has values. It’s far simpler. He has the same response to camera spotlights that a moth has to your porch light. And there’s just as much mental activity involved.

   Turing word: decision. As in, his decision was made below the concious(sp?) level.

   How horrible would it be if his was the last face you saw before departing this world?

   Brett,

   You are correct on all points, of course. I have been trying to figure out if Jackson is a genius of timing or a wet rag. He always seems to jump into the media circus just before the issue jumps the shark. Then again, maybe the issue jumps the shark BECAUSE he jumps in. Hmmmm….

   This just highlights Jeff’s (correct, IMO) contention that this case is more about moral conviction and less about politics than most everyone assumes.

   And yes, Jesse does have some convictions, or at least used to.

    We can’t have the Democratic party being the party of death. Oh no…..Hillary is silent. They duct taped Dean’s mouth. Who else could they send?

    I have actually met the Rev. Jackson. Feel free to come see what I use to think about him.

    Sorry guys, Jesse is the shark.  And he has what, exactly to add to this debate?  Sure, we’ve got people all fired up about religion and politics, but it’s not a real party until we get the race card worked in here somewhere.  Woohoo!  Some party now!  Yow!  Shake it Jesse!  Yeah!

    Turing word: “often” As in: Jesse is often found in front of a camera.

    C’mon, Jeff. Jesse Jackson. The Reverend Jackson who led all those prayer meetings for that theocrat, Bill Clinton? You remember Bill, don’t you? The one ostentatiously carrying around his bible in front of the press corps in, oh, about early ‘98?
