| Rev. Jesse sez to call off Halloween |
| 2001-10-30 |
The Rev. Jesse Jackson says it's too soon after the Sept. 11 terror strikes to put on masks and go trick-or-treating - and he's calling for a nationwide Halloween boycott. In calling for a Halloween hiatus, the civil-rights leader cited the "demonic attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon," the spate of anthrax deaths and infections, and government warnings of another imminent attack. Yeah. I don't like Arbor Day, either, so let's make sure we don't observe it when it rolls around, either. Speaking of April, the Rev. Jackson seems to be partaking in April Fool's Day a bit early. |
