A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Capybara, too, once they invade and colonize Panama again.

Can’t spell colonize without colon.

I said semi, not sigmoid… Right up there with: No, I told you to go to Cox’s and get a seersucker suit.

In 2003, ABC News did a superb show using then modern forensic science/technology to debunk the conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination. It also included interviews with Oswald’s brother, his friends and solidified the notion that Oswald was a miserable son of a bitch/nut job as well as the fact the Dallas PD was grossly inept.

Gerald Posner also wrote a book some years ago called, “Case Closed” disproving the JFK assassination conspiracies- a solid read.

There’s a cottage industry that exists in Dealey Plaza peddling their conspiracy theory books, merch, et al.
As one might imagine, the people watching there is amazing, bless their kook hearts.

Hard to believe I had to wait until I was 29 to be a grandma!

I used to work on the 3rd floor of the School Book Depository. There’s an elevator that goes straight to the 6th floor museum. The number of people that walk in the front door and go to the third floor is ridiculous. Stopping on every floor and asking if they can look out the window to see if it “could have happened differently.” I also used to smoke in Dealey Plaza with some of the conspiracy theorists. Great entertainment.

Did anybody ever stop and ask you what kind of books you had?

That was Bugliosi, not Posner, and I read every one of the 1700+ pages.

Musk, who is a private citizen completely unaffiliated with the federal government, donchaknow, is handing cash to Republican congresspersons who support impeaching judges whose rulings he doesn’t like. In an alternate universe this is a bribe and an impeachable offense in and of itself. In Trumpworld, it’s a Thursday.

Well, fuck. Bugliosi’s must not be Case Closed. My bad. I have that one too. I’ll get back to you. I have not read Posner. Sorry, John. Bugliosi’s epistle may be Reclaiming History.

I hate it when people do what I just did.

An acronym on another site I frequent is IOKIYAAR: It’s ok if you are a Republican.

I know the “every accusation is a confession” trope is tired, but remember when Biden wasn’t the “real” President and everyone was pulling his strings?

Anyway…

All good, Coach!
Just means we’ll have more to talk about next get together/drink-up.

Now, that’s one I’ve not read.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
