57 years ago today, this country lost a great President, and the world lost an inspirational leader. Beyond that, a First Lady lost her husband, and two small children lost their father.

I was in 1st Grade in St. John's Elementary School in The Bronx and the Principal announced it on the loudspeaker. We were sent home and when I got home my mother was crying. I remember watching the funeral that weekend and being mad that my cartoons weren’t on, and I remember my mother saying “Watch this! This is history!” And so I watched it, and I mostly remember the sound of the drums as the funeral procession made its way to Arlington National Cemetery. I’ve read countless books about President Kennedy and I have his speeches and the story of his life and assassination on VHS and DVD, and my Den is a Mini-Memorial to him, with his White House Portrait and my 50th Anniversary Coin Collection on display, and I’ll always feel that the world has never been the same since his tragic death. Rest in Peace President Kennedy and God Bless you.

Outside of him being thick enough to vote for the lunatic madman twice, he's finally making sense:

Thanks for the new thread Michelle. Perfect title!

I'm shocked that Christie would be so honest, but he's no longer in any elected office so he has nothing to lose. I'll bet that Trump blamed him for the disastrous 1st Debate, because he apparently encouraged Trump to be aggressive to throw Biden off his game and it backfired.

You're welcome!

That's very true. I didn't know it was Christie who told Trump to be aggressive. Interesting. You have to be right and Trump holds it against him. Then I bet Christie blames Trump for getting Covid. Both significant things have probably separated them and Christie knows Trump has lost so all the more he doesn't care. He is probably trying to put himself in a better light knowing Trump is leaving soon.

I still can't get over Rudy Giuliani and what that evil pig did during 9/11. Well, I can get over it because I knew he was dark, but just hearing the facts now is absolutely incredible. He is Satan. The biggest assault on US soil and he took advantage of it by lying and scheming. Pure evil. Imagine the pain, confusion, sorrow, mourning, and every other heartbreak going on WHILE Rudy Giuliani was lying and scheming.

Taking advantage of a terrorist attack on US soil as a leader AND attempting to assault a minor = purely SATANIC. I hope he burns in hell.

^ Something Alan (and Koni, I have to show her!) would have loved.

Also... Alan's Oklahoma Sooners Football won the other night... a complete Bedlam blowout.
