If You Can't Say Something Nice...

A day of sorrow and nostalgia
ARLINGTON, Va. — A man wearing freshly ironed khaki pants and a blue blazer approached a hallowed patch of Arlington National Cemetery yesterday morning, bowing his head in prayer over a simple headstone marked with the name Edward Moore Kennedy.
Don't say anything at all.

That is all.

I was expecting reference to a small plastic vial.

It's ALL hallowed ground there, and it's a damned shame that our government isn't even competent enough to keep track of who's buried where.

Fuck that! Its my personal belief that you should speak the truth about the dead, because I'm working my ass off being a good guy and putting smiles on faces, so when people speak of me after my passing it'll all be good.

So I will say I do not believe in hell, nor that Teddy honestly believed in the Catholic Doctrine that he claimed to be a member of.

But if all those things are true, Teddy in in fact in hell for his miserable life and horrible actions.

Wonder how Mary Jo is doing these days? Oh, THAT'S right...


Funny none of the kool-aid drinkers seem to remember that ol' Teddy was a killer.

drive in a wooden stake! I going over a few rows with a voodoo priest to reanimate the corpse of Ronald Reagan. Run him a couple more times for President.

Yep, and Draft Dodger Bobby Byrd of West By God is also buried nearby. That's why when it comes my turn, I told the wife any Military Cemetery BUT Arlington.

"'I explained the Kennedys to my daughter as the royalty of America', said Deborah Hamm..."
And right there, so far as I'm concerned, lies everything that's wrong with the Kennedys, and the popular perception of them. Hey, dipshit...This country was founded to ESCAPE ROYAL ABUSES.

Rot in Hell, Teddy. Here's hoping several of your cohorts will be joining you soon.

SayUncle beat me to it.


I hope it's warm down there, Teddy lad...


I've also never understood the taboo of "speaking ill of the dead". If a person was a rotten bastard in life, why go out of the way to be courteous and respectful to their hated memory ???

Hey, burying Teddy there provides a useful service. The place is huge! This is a nice unhallowed plot you can take a leak on if you need to.
