JFK was assassinated 50 years ago today. And I was there! Gather near, cartoon readers, and revel in the thrilling account of what I was doing at the time.

I was a sophomore in college at the time. I remember one of my fellow students entering the classroom in a celebratory manner, “Hey! Guess what? Kennedy’s been shot!” This, at a college (now university) mislabeled “Abilene Christian”! 🙁
Appalling.
Why is that appalling? You know damn well if Bush had been shot, you’d have been jumping for joy and reacting with glee. Why is “appalling” when a conservative does the same?
Inhale deeply a couple of times. Do you smell a *TROLL*????
>:(
Starting at 6:20: “There is in this country and there has been for too long an ominous and sickening popularity of hatred.” Sound familiar?

JFK WAS conservative.
«Demographic superiority» was good, Ted : a modicum of self-irony never hurts in this, the best of all possible worlds….
