Thanks. Now I have a frame of reference when you share one of your Man stories.

Back to the topic slightly--given how little HT has used JFK (he's had an opportunity or three), does anyone think that maybe HT doesn't really like JFK.

He just spent $460 at our local IKEA in Canton, $400 on bedroom furniture and sixty to me for tagging along.

Shopping for furniture sucks. Going with someone so they can buy furniture sucks harder. Normally I'd say taking $60 was a bit frivalous, but your time was certainly with that.

I wish my parents had paid me for all that time wasted while they shopped for a car for themselves.

He did need help lifting the boxes into his apartment.

The $60 was the opportunity cost for hanging out with the Man and going to IKEA instead of going to that party early and getting a few extra hours with those women to tell them how "fat" I am.

Hey, long ago, in the sixties, I remember reading a story where someone goes back in time to save Kennedy. It turns out that saving Kennedy leads to WW III an a destruction of the world, so he goes back, sadder and wiser, and lets history take its "right" course. Does that ring a bell for anyone? :unsure:
Also, there's the novel Joshua, Son of None. I don't remember the author's name, but someone manages to take a sample from Kennedy's dead body and clones him. He then attempts to raise the child in circumstances as close to JFK's, and, sure enough, he ends up becoming president and. No, I won't spoil the ending, in case anyone wants to read it. > >

I enjoyed reading that Winter of Our Discontent. I wish the authors would do more with it.

I do as well, which is why I didn't start reading it.

The Articles of Impeachment give you a hint of what was uncovered against the Kennedy Brothers.

An excerpt from chapter one, part two:

Quote:
 
He walked over to his desk, fed a sheet of paper into the typewriter, and wrote from his notes:  Governor John Connally of Texas was assassinated in Dallas this afternoon.  Connally is the first governor ever to be murdered while in office.  Also slain was Secret Service agent Clinton J. Hill.  The Secret Service was present because Connally was riding in a motorcade with President Kennedy.  The President was not injured in the attack on Connally.

That's not true. William Goebel, governor of Kentucky for a few days in 1900, was the first governor to be murdered while in office.

I went and reviewed Goebel's fate. He was actually mortally wounded the day before he was sworn in. So in a very technical way, the authors were right. I suspect we might have peeked into either Zabel's or HT's political views.

On the author page it's explained that they're both Democrats.
