Musings from The Poet

OK. OK. I'm the poet. Now I'm exposed and my ghost writing career in jeopardy.

On a serious note, I've never been a big Jesse Jackson fan (I'm referring to the activist not the owner of Kendall-Jackson). But, watching Jackson's emotions in Grant Park the other night, I could only imagine what a man who was standing on that motel balcony with Dr. M. L. King when he was assasinated 40 years ago must have been feeling.

After JFK became president, no candidate since has had to defend his Catholocism. With the election of President-elect Obama, let us hope & pray that going forward no one will have to defend his/her ethnicity.
