Richard Burton as Arthur and Roddy McDowell as Mordred in the original production of Camelot The Kennedy myth has taken some well-deserved hits over the years. The carefully crafted image of the Kennedy White House as King Arthur’s Camelot has been tarnished by seemingly endless revelations of the past and current sins of the clan. The real Camelot only had to contend with the Queen’s infidelity, which was kept under wraps for the good of the ki…

Wheels are turning to install Joseph Kennedy III in the Congressional seat heavily imprinted by Barney Frank Is anyone else out there suffering from Kennedy fatigue? Right after commenting on Joe Kennedy II’s despicable partnership with Socialist rat Hugo Chavez, I learn that Joe Kennedy III is launching his own exercise in subversion for self-aggrandizement, linking himself with the no-less-odious Barney Frank. Frank, having accomplished all on…

Once again, President Obama teams up with the entertainment industry to pat themselves on the back.

Well, now that Caroline Kennedy has decided that she wants to join the family business, I think it’s apropos to say a few words about the Kennedy Clan. As with all Kennedys, Caroline has surely proven her abilities to be in the family business: She wants to be appointed to the US Senate with absolutely no experience whatsoever. I was sitting at lunch yesterday with a younger member of the electorate who was obviously enamored of the Kennedy clan…

As you all know, I am in Thailand prepping a movie. However, my joy is overflowing right now. We have begun to take back our country. The Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy for longer than a lot of people have been alive is now in the hands of a Republican. Goodbye super-majority in the Senate to the Democrats. Goodbye to Ted and the rest of the Kennedy clan. May their legacy rest in peace and may they finally be…

… in 1964, but suffered an horrendous general election defeat which so split the party that it retreated to what it viewed as a safe choice, 1960’s failed candidate, former Vice President Richard Nixon, who had lost to John F. Kennedy by a mere 100,000 votes in an election that was probably stolen by Democrats in Chicago. Nixon was a consensus choice, who, Conservative in his tough-on-Commies history, was able to reassure enough Liberals that he w…

…Then just three months prior to the election, Obama made the campaign promise that he would indeed fully support returning to the moon by 2020. Once he got elected, the story has changed. Last Thursday, Obama traveled to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida to break that campaign promise. Also on Air Force One was former astronaut and moon explorer, Buzz Aldrin. Despite the fact that the president was traveling with the second ast…

“Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident, or miscalculation, or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.” -John F. Kennedy (JFK) In an address before the General Assembly of the United Nations…

(http://www.gallup.com/poll/123491/Approval-Congress-Falls-21-Driven-Democrats.aspx) When asked how he thinks the late Senator Ted Kennedy would have felt he replied, “I think that Senator Kennedy would appreciate the outcome. I don’t think he would appreciate it on a party-line vote. There has never been a major reform accomplished in the h…

…the current Administration as being Fascist and Hitleresque. Calling President Obama a socialist is fare political argument, but comparing him to Hitler is not. And, based upon what I have heard since the death of Senator Ted Kennedy, I fear the rhetoric is going to get worse. As all of you who read my column already know, I am no fan of the Kennedys or of Teddy’s political leanings in any way, shape or form. However, one thing I did not know unt…
