The Kennedy’s of today are the result of a truth said generations ago...The third generation of the rich and powerful are usually stupid and the end of a dynasty..(can you say trust fund kids that don’t even know how to work at Mcdonalds)
“Kennedy took the election with a very narrow margin over Johnson”
I know Kennedy (D) ran against Nixon (R) in the 1960 Presidential election. I was reminding people that it is well understood that Kennedy Sr. (Joseph P. Kennedy) strong-armed support for his son, Jack, at the Democratic convention and this stole the Democratic nomination from the much more senior and experienced career politician, Johnson. Then, the senior Kennedy proceeded to steal crutial votes with mayor Dailey’s machine in Chicago on the night of the national election. This is likely to have added to Johnson’s chagrin.

Ya think? The tinfoil hat didn't give her away?
Ronald Reagan half dollar?
Count me in and please keep me on your ping list.
Patches is Next!!!
Just imagine an entire congress without one Kennedy!
Don't forget to do it in the Caroline patois: "Y'know"... :-)
Nice looking guy: State Rep. John Loughlin (R-RI)
Geez, if Patches goes that’ll make the Sanchez sisters the dumbest House members.
OOOOOH!
Rush is talking about Patches now!
Just mentioned his unfavorable ratings in RI!
And also his bad-mouthing of Scott Brown!!!!
This gives me hope for a Clinton-Free future, too! Wa-Hoo!
You’re the first person I’ve seen use “Precedent” in a facetious way to describe the President. For good reason. At a minimum, it requires a /sarc tag. For a fleeting moment, I thought you might be substituting one word for another in a lame attempt at humor, but I dismissed that notion based on the absurdity of your attempt at twice-removed sarcasm. It’s not that it went over my head, it’s just that it isn’t that clever. Good try, though.
Right, you are.
I know that I will probably be flamed but just want to keep from going crazy!
I think it's a sad commentary on the state of our people, when a person fears being castigated by their fellows for daring to have a standard command of our language.
You won't get flamed by me.
It’s not that it went over my head, it’s just that it isn’t that clever.
Heh heh....
I give you a B for snap and snark. Sharp tongue, and a well-constructed invalidation.
LOL. Thanks. Your original critique on the use of apostrophe’s was spot-on. It’s one of my biggest pet peeve’s as well.
/sarc on inappropriate use of apostrophes.
No problem. I know that most of us spot these writing errors, but don't say anything about them, for the most part. I'm no different, but perhaps once a week, my patience wears thin, and I point out an error to someone.
It's my consideration that it's a failure of personal ethics for me to sit quietly while my fellows butcher the language all around me. It's just another form of suppressive political correctness, in my view.
I'm not suggesting that we ought to hammer people who err in grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but a friendly correction here and there is warranted, I think.
Heh...I caught that ;-)
