Though I never met the guy, I feel like I knew him just the same. It's like this whole killing has no purpose, no reason or rhyme.

Johnson sworn in on the presidential aircraft. Leaving Love Field for Washington.
I don't know if what my mom is saying is true, but apparently LBJ was reading a children's book to a young group at the Dallas Public Library when the shooting occurred. Took him 20 minutes to finally get down to Parkland Hospital.

I mean, with Johnson being promoted to the presidency this way, he's just not going to have the clout or strength with Congress to get it through

I would be really worried if I thought conservative america had any chance of returning to power in the next, like, 100 years

Nostradamus predicted this, you know! Roof! And a ruined man! (the rest is unimportant poetry)
The ancient work will be accomplished, And from the roof evil ruin will fall on the great man: They will accuse an innocent, being dead, of the deed: The guilty one is hidden in the misty copse. (Century 6, Quatrain 37)

I just got that email too, stan. Also included this one:
"The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt. An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition. According to the prediction, another falls at night time."
Who's the other guy here?

I honestly find it hard to believe that such a beloved holder of the highest office in the country would possibly mortgage his career and his party's future on some kind of closed door sex scandal.

Well I did get some good news today... I just got hired by General Dynamics to work on the TFX project. Maybe something good will finally come out of that information science degree after all.

We have this American high school kid, Oliver, staying at our place as an exchange student. He's totally hysterical about this whole assassination thing, you should all the weird-ass loony theories he's coming up with. He says that when he gets back to the States he's gonna "convince them all of the truth!". I think he's lucky if he manages to convince the neighbour's dog.

The print setter at work just told everyone some American president got shot, and something about aboriginal kids no longer being kidnapped by the government. Most of the people here don't know what America or aborigines is. If only we had a worldwide electronic information resource.
