    boy, maureenoddonnell's got a bee in her bonnett.

    What's with this obsession with Kennedy family ancient history? Mary Jo Kopechne; yes, so sad. Old Joe Kennedy thought the Germans were bound to win, and thought the US should stay out of WWII; yeah, yeah. Oh, and did you know they made a boatload of money selling booze during prohibition; OMG! I'm sure I would have been one of their customers during prohibition, so WTF.

    This stuff is soooo relevant to the 2008 election.
