    How did I know you'd be around too?

    Santa CLAWS little helper, you should be in Gnomeland now getting the reindeer in fine fettle for their trip around the northern hemisphere in about four months but you're here busily trying to deflect the point I made, very briefly, about Joseph Patrick Kennedy who made an immense fortune in the l920s, called himself a Democrat and was ambassador to Britain between l938 and l940. The Second World War did not begin with the bombing of Pearl Harbour; it began in Europe in l939 and Ambassador Kennedy's attitudes were not appreciated in London when the struggle against Nazi Germany was draining the life-blood out of Europe. Just sounding off might suit your purpose but I have totally objective reasons for being unimpressed by the Kennedy "fairy-tale". Maybe you should find out something about the source of the Kennedy wealth.
