    Elvis was there too "liitle sister, don't you kiss me once, say it's very nice and then run"....

    The grave-robbing continues....... MLK, JFK and now Jacqueline Bouvier-Knnedy who aren't being allowed to rest in peace. Edward Kennedy has certainly got plenty of mileage out of the careers of his two more talented brothers. The Hero of Chappaquidick is probably a feminist icon and egalatarians must be pleased that the inquest into the death of a young woman was held behind closed doors. What age would Mary Jo be now if only that cowardly roisterer had saved her as he saved himself?

    Michelle Obama's "peacock green" dress was lovely and the colour was totally appropriate, she oozed charm from every pore and her wig was top-quality. Most of the wigs and hair extension worn by afflent western women are made from the hair shorn from poor Indian girls living in villages and willing to sacrifice their beautiful glossy hair for badly-needed money. What exactly does the Democratic Party stand for these days?
