Tragic. Particularly the loss of a young child.

The Kennedys are allowed to gather?

It’s a shame. There isn’t more than 4 feet of water through much of Herring Bay. They could have ditched the canoe and walked to shore.

The Kennedys do have a strained relationship with water don’t they.

A canoe in three foot waves? Not the best craft in that position. No personal flotation devices? With a child on board, too? Crazy move.

I’m sick of every 28th cousin of someone named Kennedy being in the news referred to as Kennedy family. John and Jacqueline Kennedy were treated as royalty during their lives, and that continues. Drop it. There is no royalty in this country, and the president and his wife are gone.

Anyone ever wonder if this family has some place somewhere in the world, remote on some island, and just decides they can't hack in the real world, or maybe the corruption has caught up with them and/or their lives are in danger, or for whatever reason it's just time to disappear? Not necessarily talking about the assassinations or the difficult ones to pull off.

Surely they are a low IQ bunch - or at least a deluded bunch even for the relatively higher IQ ones - with booze and drug problems that could contribute to the outlier statistics on the deaths they post, but I've often wondered about the types of deaths many famous people die - and this crew seems to do it over and over. You just wonder whether they decided there was nothing they could do to repair their lives, they were overwhelmed, and they had the means and resources to just ... disappear.

It would be tin foily if I was saying 'this is certainly what's going on' ... I'm more just saying ... 'makes you wonder.' And I don't really care ... it's just an interesting thought when it comes up.

Fame ain't always fun, it's a lot of pressure (not speaking from personal experience) ... the Kennedy's suffer from chronic mental illness and addiction problems. If I experienced what some of them must experience I might just say 'you know what, time to check out, but since we're rich and connected, checking out doesn't have to mean suicide, let's just start over.'

Almost like Galt -> but invert the quality of the character and purpose, and also no loss to civilization - in fact not hard to argue, a net gain, a true win win :-)

Crazy. Better to play football while skiing a black diamond trail. Or flying an aircraft through dense fog with poor or nil IFR skills while your wife and sister in law scream and cry in the back seat.

Sad story all around. Prayers for the family.

She [McKean] currently works as the executive director of the Georgetown University Global Health Initiative.

Life in the swamp here in DC. Does anyone here think this is a real job requiring real professional qualifications?

The quintuple barrel name is to ensure that everyone can keep track of the anointed membership of the US aristocracy. This is a habit that plagues modern day Spain, where nothing can be done if you don't make someone with such a long title a do-nothing director.

And the family ALWAYS includes ‘Kennedy’ in the middle names? Hers and her son’s middle names include Kennedy? They surely want to have the association.

Sorry to hear they both are lost. Bad decision on the mom’s part to try and retrieve a ball in choppy waters.
