the whole Kenndy anniversary- I was never a fan of his and while I don’t think particularly ill of him, I’m irritated by the whole family, bunch of criminals that they are. <\/p>\n
My ex and I visited DC toward the end of the Reagan years; we were both big fans of THAT administration, he was the first president we’d had a chance to vote for and we were damned proud of him. I often wish I had some of the pictures I took then. <\/p>\n
Anyway, we visited Arlington. We saw the civil war headstones, the confederate soldier’s headstones are peaked so no damned yankees can sit on them. We saw the changing of the guard, I stood in rapt attention until my feet ached. And in an out of the way area, we came on a little round stone set in the ground with a little flame burning at it’s center. Nobody was around, and I didn’t realize the significance until I saw “John F Kennedy”. <\/p>\n
I wasn’t, as I said, a particular fan. But I wasn’t a total dick, either. In any event, I bent down and lit a pall mall off the “Eternal flame”. So I can honestly say JFK was useful to me, even after his death. The Ex called him “President Ronson” therafter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
