The moderator didn't think the article was excerpted enough the first time (and couldn't bring himself to just cut five or six lines himself). Rather than than trying to read this particular moderator's mind concerning arbitrary personal excerpting limits, I left you with most of the first sentence. The article goes on to discuss Chappaquiddick and the fact that Kennedy was a vocal supporter of IRA terrorists.

My suggestion for the Coat of Arms:
An automobile careening off a bridge with liquor bottles tumbling from the open windows.

You posted all of it but a portion of the last sentence. And you know the rules.

Stinkin’ political correctness. I canNOT find a single screen shot of “Sir Osis of Liver” from Bugs Bunny anywhere!

Pretty good for a guy on the no-fly list. Maybe the 0 can have him stuffed to replace the Churchill statue he gave back.

The Queen doesn’t really get a choice who she knights.
Candidates are proposed by anyone, and the choices pass through interminable Parliamentary committees who weed out names - in summary, Teddy Kennedy has been knighted by the Labour Party.

Very short sentence, and if I didn’t include the part about the IRA and the bridge thing, there wasn’t much point in posting it in the first place.
Not telling you guys how to do your jobs, but some of these posting rules need to be written in sand instead of stone. I guarantee you that this Johanna Neuman person is thrilled for any exposure she can get.

This is America! Didn't we fight the war of Independence to rid ourselves of kings and queens? This is disgraceful, our declaration of independence spells it out “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUALL”. To Heck with all those who would lord it over us!
