Learn Your Lessons Well

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Here are a few observations following this week’s news events…

1. Never say how many people are going to show up at your rally.  At the very least, low-ball it.  There’s nothing worse than saying 25,000 people are going to show up and only 8,000 (at best) actually do.  And make sure more than half of them are from Indiana.
2. If you’re the Indiana Secretary of State, might I suggest a media interview.   Your case is being fought in two courts, one of law and one of public opinion.
3. If you’re a Marion County Office holder, I hate to break this to you, but money is tight, you need to act like it.
4. If you’re passionate about the abortion issue, nothing is going to change anytime soon.
5. If  you’re name is Brandon Johnson, I truly hope you get your act together, or the next time we read about you it will be the obituary pages.
6. If you’re going to handout anti-illegal immigration literature near the Statehouse, it would help if you weren’t white and weren’t bald.
7. If you’re an Indiana House Democratic lawmaker, I’ll see you next week.
