Since LBJ's wife was a major shareholder in the transportation company
(marine shipping) that had virtually a monopoly contract to ship war
material to Vietnam...well, you can guess the rest.

Lady Bird was owner of the Johnson businesses in name only.


Probably. I wonder what the rules were in the early 60's regarding blind
trusts, etc., for government officials.

40 years ago today I was ferrying a F-89J from the Maine Air Guard at
Bangor, ME to the Oregon Air Guard at Portland OR. Chugging along at
20K, keeping under the big jet stream blowing east, I was about 150
out of Oklahoma City, my next refueling stop, when ATC came up on
frequency and announced that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas
and was dead.

May he rest in peace.

You know, I NEVER would've guessed in a MILLION YEARS that a passing
mention
of this anniversary would touch off a never-ending thread filled with
opposing ideologies, warring political philosophies and decades-old
resentments. I mean, WHAT A COMPLETE SURPRISE.


Probably comes from the Kennedy mystique being so much fabricated myth.

The editors of several Berlin newspapers would be surprised to hear that
(Berliner Morgenpost, Berliner Zeitung, etc.). Berliner refers to a
resident
of Berlin, just as a Hamburger is a denizen of Hamburg and a Frankfurter
resides in Frankfurt.

"Ich bin Berliner" translates as "I am a Berliner". "Ich bin EIN Berliner"
translates as "I am a jelly doughnut".


Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries.

There's a particular type of jelly doughnut that's called a Berliner.


I believe Pizza Hut offered a particular pizza they called a New Yorker a
few years ago, perhaps they still do. So does "I'm a New Yorker" mean
"I'm
a pizza"?

For all practical intents and purposes, yes.

Can't blame me for Bush.

But we don't get the best.

true enough

We get exactly what we deserve.

Wrong. While we really have to blame ourselves for electing
liars like Clinton, we don't deserve that kind of leaderhsip.

In many respects JFK WAS an extreme right winger.

They are all extreme right wingers - that's what you need to be elected.
Those that fail are just not extreme enough.

Like those two dudes in Europe in the 20's and 30's? How about those
that
did likewise from the left...that guy with the _Little Red Book_...


They weren't trying to do what was best for the people of their countries.

They said they were. Are you a mindreader?

Well, I'd rather have him lying to his wife than doing what Bush is doing.

Um. Wrong three-initial president. Try FDR.

How so. Lying to the country and getting hundreds of American servicemen and
women and thousands of innocent Iraqis killed is somehow less offensive to
you than not wanting to get caught fooling around?

Funny how guys like you can twist reality to fit your ideals and then accuse
the rest of doing the very same.
