(this was supposed to have posted on the 18th, but apparently I flubbed it badly)

Ted Kenned, driving drunk, crashed his car into a pond.

Stories vary as to what happened next, but in the end, there is evidence that Mary Jo Kopechne drowned after being left behind, trapped in the car.

In today’s world, Teddy Kennedy would be tried for homicide, even if he had come from such a prominent family. Back then, well….

Mary Jo was not available for comment.

Yeah, one of those days.

I’m off to see about getting the ’27 Chrysler put back together today.

New clutch, new distributor drive gears (and a reworked gearbox for same) and then putting the trans back in.

Yes, I have someone doing it. They have a lift and better tools.

hopefully pictures soon. 

Chaos reigns in the inner cities

Confusion and finger pointing and disappointment.

Happy Father’s Day, everyone.

I was lucky. I grew up with a Father.
And I had a Dad.

And that is, indeed, a part of my “White Privilege”.

Thanks, Dad. 

How very….French

So all those promises of money from the French Rich that were pledged to rebuild the Cathedral at Notre Dame?

Yeah, it would seem that they have been forgotten, and it is, instead, mostly Americans who are footing the bill for repair. 

Odd, I could have sworn that I’d heard this song before….Think WWII.

Funny how history repeats, innit? The French talk big, but in the end, they  just don’t step up.

’tis interesting:

The media refers to the President as “Trump”.

They refer to Biden as “Joe Biden” or “Vice President Biden”

Odd difference. One is much less respectful than the other.

It’s not like we don’t know which the Media favors anyway. 

HEH

Sent from my brother, who (I think) got it from IFunny.
