Don’t know how old the rest of you are, but I remember the tragic Bay of Pigs, the Cuban blockade, the Cuban Missile crisis.

I was just learning to read back then, like about 5 YO. I always wondered why Kennedy pronounced it like it was spelled "Cuber".

Ah, back in the day.

I LOVED John Kennedy and adored JAckie.

Yeah, I know history has changed my view of things but JFK did stand up to Russia and it was really scary.

JFK was a reprobate with the ladies, I know, and he really, really messed up that Bay of Pigs.

But he was the ONLY Kennedy that ever did anything considered leadership; the rest of them just rode his coattails.

I’m still not convinced that this Cuban embargo is the best thing at this point in time....

BTW, those shootings last night are being covered by Meet the Press.
