CHICAGO -- Assuming his baggage clears customs, the Rev. Jesse Jackson will return to Chicago Saturday with a golden scepter, a crown and a royal title.
During a ceremony featuring bare-chested women, fresh goat’s blood and a tribal king, Jackson was bestowed with the ceremonial title of royal “dignitary” while visiting the village of Krindjabo in the Ivory Coast this week.
“It’s a joyous occasion and a great honor,” Jackson said during a telephone interview Friday. “We are committed to working with the people in the village.”
So is this supposed to be normal or what?

Jesse's Rod

True... The "King" connection crossed my mind, should have put more thought into it.
Yeah, deeper into the story it says some guy smeared the goat's blood all over his face, as if it were an everyday event.
