Some Call Me the Space Cowboy
One would think that a post that begins,
George Will once wrote, “Nowadays no diplomatic farce is complete without a cameo appearance by Jesse Jackson.” Truer words have never been spoken.
would send a message to all but the least intellectually endowed among us that I am, indeed, not Jesse Jackson. Nonetheless, it has now drawn five letters to my alter ego, Rev. Jackson, beseeching me for help on various problems. The latest by a California high school teacher, no less.
Let me reiterate:
- I am not Britney Spears.
- I am not “Dear Prudie.”
- I am not Rev. Jesse Jackson.
- I am not even the Sultan of Brunei. That would be Steven Taylor.
Update: Mark Hasty is not Lisa. Nor did he let the dogs out.
What is sad, the name of the high school teacher, La Verne J. Baptiste, sounds like it could be the name of a potential deposed Haitian dictator. Defintely in Jesse Jackson’s arena.
