People like anniversaries when they are nice even numbers. For me the matter was put to bed once Teddy finely breathed his last. Up until that time I was offended when he was described as an elder statesman or a Lion of the Senate, and particularly so when he still had Presidential ambition, but now, well it is a part of history and perhaps a matter that is somewhat instructive, but really rather stale and inconsequential to my day to day musings.
I did see stories last week about the 20th anniversary of John John's death and about the moon landing, also 50 years ago. Anniversaries, people love them and use them to mark the passage of time.. Today is the anniversary of me asking my wife to marry me.

I'm not surprised. And I find the posting of this to be pretty suspect. Had this been a Republican, I'm sure this user would not have posted this and we'd be hearing about how it is fake news. Sad times we live in.NCCommish said:
What they don't grasp is that if a Democrat does something bad, we anti-trumpers would reject that person.
If trump or a Republican does something bad, trumpers reject the findings.

Yeah I wasn't a Teddy fan. I have no problem with acknowledging he was a drunk and should have been charged. That the 10 hour wait was inexcusable. Not much I can do that the people still kept electing him.

Neat but of trivia: Ted Kennedy, coming out of Harvard, was drafted by the Green Bay Packers as a tight end.

It turns out he wasn't drafted but he was scouted. Still pretty interesting piece of trivia. I had no idea.

This was well before my time and it was actually a history lesson for me as I did not know much about it. I have read a few of the articles since, very intriguing and it is quite a story that has everything. Wealth, power, fame, privilege, drinking, affairs, death, cover up. I mean what more could you ask for? With todays social media Kennedy would never have survived this and probably would have been in prison. A Country club prison like Epstein or wherever politicians go but not a free man.NCCommish said:

Golly I was talking about Nantucket as my post stated. It was nonstop coverage in the Boston area. To recap and as to not to offend any of the more sensitive readers I was commenting on the Nantucket case. Jeepers I believe he was being played along by this guy because he was gay. Now the charges were dropped and we each have our opinions.
I hope you have a delightful day

If Ted Kennedy has moved to Green Bay, I think per-capita alcohol consumption might have fallen in both Wisconsin and Massachusetts.

He was a starter for Harvard and even cheated to try to stay academically eligible

I am going to go ahead and speculate that not only was he, but that he is still gay.

My mistake. He actually received a recruiting letter from the head football coach.

I wouldn't want you to bump that thread any more than I would want you to bump the one you have for CNN (which you tout as the "official" thread but has your biased commentary about the network in the thread title).

Invented in 1956 by General Foods research scientist William A. Mitchell and introduced to the general public in 1975, Pop Rocks were a form of carbonated candy made from sugar, lactose, corn syrup, and flavoring. These fruit-flavored nuggets released small amounts of carbonation when the candy was ingested, causing a mild “exploding” sensation and resulting in a satisfying “sizzling” noise kids loved.
Though the confection had been extensively tested and found safe, the combustive candy still alarmed residents in Seattle. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set up a telephone hotline there to assure anxious parents that the fizzing candy would not cause children to choke.
Nevertheless, among kids, wild stories about the perils of eating Pop Rocks abounded. (Kids love ghastly rumors about candy (e.g., that Bubble Yum contains spiders or their eggs.)

Hmmm, I heard he died from eating a pet rock, which definitely would cause digestion problems.
