If there is a protest of some kind, Jackson has to be there. As I said, it gives him relevance because he is so irrelevant. I find it sad that he passes himself off as the reincarnation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Meanwhile, Jackson couldn’t carry Dr. King’s jockstrap.

I read a post the other day from a teacher saying she didn’t get paid as highly as other Wisconsin Districts do. She said she’d loose $30,000 on her pension, if the Wisconsin Bill passed.
