In a move that surprised everyone, DuBose Porter announced that the Democratic Party of Georgia's annual fundraiser would be re-named to honor one of the organization's greatest leaders.

"It gives me great pleasure to inform the media that all future editions of the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner will now be called the Jefferson/Jesse Jackson Dinner," Porter said at a recent press conference. "Democrats want to recognize Jesse Jackson for his decades of service, leading black Americans.

"Contrary to what others may say, Jesse Jackson is indeed the Emperor of Black People," Porter continued, referencing a controversial episode of the Comedy Central cartoon "South Park."
