42 years gone

In Memoriam
May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963

Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin'

We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

And thank God JFK didn't have a House of Representives full of lunatic radical Republicans, crackpot billionaires, and a group of whacko lawyers out to bring him down. He'd have made Clinton look like an amateur.

But it's incredibly sobering to ponder "what if" both Kennedys hadn't been assasinated.

But in a way, since there's always been a group of extremely powerful and shadowy figures on the extreme right, maybe the only difference between the Kennedy's and Clinton, both incredibly charismatic and successful politicians who threatened the status quo, is that outright assasination has been set aside in favor of the mind-bogglingly enormous and expensive attempt to stage a coup based on trumped up charges instead.
