I really hate all this crap about JFK, trying to make him some sort of pagan Saint or something

>> I really hate all this crap about JFK

I don’t hate it per se... I’m just tired of it. “Where were you when JFK was shot?” At this point, what difference does it make??!?

Anyway, what I really wish is that I could have an opportunity to remember where I was when a different president bought the farm. ;-)

"This administration pledged itself last summer to an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes to be enacted and become effective in 1963. I am not talking about a quickie or a temporary tax cut which would be more appropriate if a recession were imminent. Nor am I talking about giving the economy a mere shot in the arm to ease some temporary complaint. The federal government's most useful role is not to rush into a program of excessive increases in public expenditures, but to expand the incentives and opportunities of private expenditures. - - John F. Kennedy

Yeah...he was a Dem and personally, a scumbag. But he had some Conservative principles at heart.
