5. Slipped into Johns' Seat in 62

And now today I read in the paper the first 2 people suggested to fill his term both have the name Kennedy? Is the dynesty really over?

Call me old fashion, but I have a certain standard for people working for the public. It is hard to except that a person conducting themselves that way while in public service is maintaing any degree of integrity.

Were he a private citizen at the time , go for it, but as one does when they enter the military, you scrifice certain personal liberties for the good of the service.

Just think of the great Americans that you just eliminated.
And how many other we don't know about.

Personally, I've seen enough of the Kennedy's, the Bush's, the Carnahan's, the Blunt's, etc.

What I'd like to see is some fresh blood for a change.

One memory that sticks is during an uncle's funeral I was returning from the men's room. I saw an onion lying on the top step. Now if you need to resort to that for fake tears . . .

I hope I'm not disrespectful when I say, that onion is funny!

I plan on the cremation, I will have a short viewing, a video will be played at the Irish wake (which of course my AK buds will be invited to)(the tape'll be fun - 'I'm speaking to you from beyond the grave bwuuuuhahahaha).
