Some cities have “Ghost Tours” of all the supposed ghosts of years past that still walk the streets. Maybe now some entrepreneurs can give Arlington Ghost Tours of all the real heroes buried there that have gotten out of their graves so they won’t lay near Teddy.

Ya gotta love the NYTimes (okay, so maybe you don’t), their lead story on Kennedy opens by describing him as ‘disciplined’. Or maybe they’re using it as a modifier for ‘liberal’ and a disciplined liberal is the new euphemism for a Leninist liberal...

Arlington, eh? I wonder if he EVER thought about the thousands upon thousands of murdered US citizens at the hands of illegal aliens....THAT is Ted’s legacy, the guy who invited and promoted the invasion of this sovereign nation with his first amnesty.

Well, technically it’s not treason because he is a constitutionally protected class....a Democrat.

Well, that was certainly eye-opening. My estimation of JFK just increased a good bit...

2 year hitch in the Army after getting thrown out of Harvard. Rose to the rank of private.

From wiki:

Kennedy enlisted in the United States Army in June 1951.[9] Following basic training at Fort Dix, he requested assignment to Fort Holabird for Army Intelligence training, but was dropped after a few weeks without explanation.[9] He went to Camp Gordon for training in the Military Police Corps.[9] In June 1952, he was assigned to the honor guard at SHAPE headquarters in Paris.[4][9] His father’s political connections ensured he was not deployed to the ongoing Korean War.[4][10] While stationed in Europe he travelled extensively on weekends and climbed the Matterhorn.[11] He was discharged in March 1953 as a private first class.[9][11]

Scottish flags were also ordered to half-staff as most expect whiskey sales to dip to an all-time low.

Kramer, in a suprising blind squirrel move, has called the Chivas Regal stock a SELL.

Plus Senators can be buried there also. He qualifies under two criteria.
He is in hell now, but he does qualify for Arlington.

Teddy was the left-wing equivalent of the holy roller who is secretly a sexual freak and has little boys chained up in his basement, but “atones” for it by screaming at other people about sin and damnation.

Teddy spent almost his entire public career “atoning” for Mary Jo, at our expense.

Rose to the rank of private.

He went past the rank of "private" which is the first two ranks, E-1 and E-2. He became a Private First Class, E-3.

I think saying that Kennedy is “in Hell” is disrespectful to his family. Declaring where he is now is above my pay grade.
