President Kennedy Injured in Dallas?

Imagine if channels always ran news nonstop like this. That'd be so cool.

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?

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.

too soon

:(

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.)

oops, wrong thread

JFK RIP

Can a mod please kill/lock some of the new/revived threads:

Robert Frost has also died :-(

RIP Big Poet.

(btw best ilx thread ever)

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.

guys... this totally sucks. :(

Phil Spector Christmas Album now going for £2.99 on Amazon...

Is it just me, or have all the radio stations stopped playing music?

Are Gerry and the Pacemakers "Merseybeat"? What's a Mersey?

Good riddance to another vapid, mindless celebrity.

I don't want to be the one to call out the instant canonisation here, but this guy was kind of a dick in South America, remember?

Anyway, I bet the Americans bomb Cuba to fuck over this - we could be in the early days of World War 3 already :(

At least the suspect is safely in police hands

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.

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.

the games must go on...we're all PATRIOTS now...

Benitez Given Job For Life; Police Talk Wenger Down From Archway Bridge

oh man now I'm really bummed out, although I hadn't even checked out that much Kennedy. Any recs?

any word yet about a JFK Memorial design competition?

Robert Frost has also died :-(

Again? Didn't he die like a year ago or something? Something there is that doesn't like the grave.

Police correspondent Alex Drake quipped "it's all a dream, I'm in 1963world" at a special press conference.

"Don't try it" added 34-year-old British tourist and witness to the shooting John Ravenscroft.

Ummmm hi? Some guy just walked directly up to Lee Henry Oswald and shot him on TV I am crapping you negative

It will take Billy Joel to put this into some sort of meaningful context for me.

guys my roomate's uncle Abe was there and had his home movie camera.

he just uploaded this to youtube:

***warning: not for the faint of heart***

uh hello we are in mourning here, no grody fake video, your uncle max is a real L7

yeah it's a shop i've seen a few blah blah pixels blah

off-topic but if any of you ever go down to Dallas, there's a strip joint called The Carousel you should check out.

yo is it true kennedy got sonned by a wite kid after a cuba beef??????

why'd they take him to Parkland did he not have insurnce

What's that white stuff Jackie's so desperate to collect? OMG he was smuggling drugs in his head for the mob!

This is totally fucked up. They have the suspect of the biggest crime of the century and he's not protected. Makes me think that someone wanted him shut up because he could name the people who were bankrolling him. I don't buy it that he was a lone nutjob, it must be the Soviets behind it.

Some of the political blogs are now claiming there was a second gunman, up on some grassy knoll somewhere. Mentalists as far as I'm concerned, that'll never stick.

(meta note: This thread is dangerously close to starting an actual discussion about the Kennedy assassination, CIO.)

It is an actual discussion about the Kennedy assassination! Have you had blinders on in the past few days, you fucking beatnik?

As far as those conspiracy theories, I heard that someone told all the Jews to stay out of Dealy Plaza on Friday.

white is black and black is white

OK, guys, let's put down the Carling Black Label and face facts, this guy was only human and just as corrupt as the rest of our presidents...except for FDR, Wilson, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and Teddy - now they were some infallible guys with no skeletons in their closets.

Kennedy was a hothead with next to no policy experience who nearly got us into the next Big One just a few months ago - or have you knuckleheads already forgotten in the rush to make him the next Marilyn Monroe? Now there was a death worth bemoaning - someone who really stood for America in a way you could get behind. If we ever even hear the name Kennedy in politics again I'd be very surprised.

The only consolation for all this hand-wringing is that Johnson has got his head screwed on straight. I'm counting on him to follow up all the empty promises of Kennedy's presidency with real change; we should be okay so long as he doesn't get us entangled in any military quagmires. (The rubes are talking about Indochina but anyone with any understanding of geopolitics should understand that the next big fight is going to be over the Finnish border.) 'Nuff said!

This is bumming me out, but I'm not going to completely despair. I think there's a lot of promise in his little brother Bobby.

Has someone from Europe blamed the US' right to bear arms yet? Let me be the first then!

mail-order gun? mail-order fun more like it

I think there's a lot of promise in his little brother Bobby

Surely it's time for America to look beyond one political family and to get a colored president. It's kind of a crazy idea and I know some of you are going to say it's too soon. But this guy's on a roll after that big march and I hear he's up for the Nobel prize next. Now's the time to seize the initiative...

multi xpost Tragic that Monroe and Kennedy both died so young, they would have made a beautiful couple.

Still, look on the bright side, Jackie Kennedy's single. Lady Bird Johnson's definitely not my first lady ;-)

(meta again -- ok, this thread is actually pretty depressing. I mean... can you IMAGINE...?)
