Dallas has a suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Apparently, he is in fact a Communist.
Since when did the media start adding middle names to these guys? They never did that with Charlie Starkweather. Probably just a trend.

John Wilkes Booth!
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 15 February 2008 02:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay him. But at least they gave it a rest for Charles Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz.
But really. I can't even believe that we're talking about the president of the United States dying today.
― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 15 February 2008 03:12 (sixteen years ago) link
xxp What a day. CS Lewis died today, too.

i can't help but feel this is some kind of cosmic justice for the stolen election of 1960. chickens be comin' home to roost, is it not so?
― gershy, Friday, 15 February 2008 04:26 (sixteen years ago) link
There's a good side to this though, because one day you'll have a mad republican president who invades all sorts of countries and can't manage the economy and is shit, and he'll be assassinated too. Clouds and silver linings and all that.

Hey guys. Just got back from Frankfurt. I saw the most amazing group of gay English boys play that rock and roll. I told them they would be a smash in America. (Of course, I was being selfish because I want to see them closer to home, lol.)

Oh this is so sad. Puts our grumbles about the snow into perspective.
I wonder how David Frost will cover it on TWTWTW.

Let's hope they don't make the mistake of going all gooey and sentimental, like getting Millicent Martin to sing "Three Bells" or something.

US radio stations USELESS!
A nation in MOURNING and all they can do is play BLAND POPIST PAP by fly-by-night NME hypes like the BEATLES!
Systems thinking can solve this mess - all radio programmers to be SACKED and REPLACED by AWARE PROACTIVE programmers with full knowledge of diverse music spectra including developments in HARD FORMALIST ORNETTECORE, VARESE SPUNKWAVE and TRAD FADELA.
― Dingbod Kesterson, Friday, 15 February 2008 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
TRAD FAVELA even.
In the light of this, I think all competitive sport should be suspended immediately. I can't see the point in continuing with a triviality like the current English football season.
