Kennedy Assassination Revisited
(with comments)
JFK assassination: New Details about the Transfer of Power.
Exactly when did doctors give up their efforts to save Kennedy's life? And when did Lyndon Johnson learn that JFK was dead? These are the central questions that need to be addressed in understanding the transfer of power on November 22, 1963. The questions may be obvious; the answers are not...
New documents recently opened to the public call into question key parts of this timeline...
If the doctors were ready to declare Kennedy dead at 12:50 pm, why then was the official time listed as 1:00 pm?
The time of death was a fiction created to satisfy Mrs. Kennedy.
According to Catholic doctrine, the last rites had to be delivered before the soul left the body. If her husband was already officially dead before Father Huber had a chance to administer the sacrament, it would not have been valid. "Father do you think the sacrament had effect," she asked Huber in the emergency room. He tried to ally her fears. "I am convinced that his soul had not left his body," he said. "This was a valid last sacrament."
The author concludes that the U.S. was without a functioning head of state for nearly 40 minutes. And yet we survived!

It was more like forever for Kennedy. And what about eight years of Bush? - By Gee.... Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @09:02am:Orly Taitz is planning on a lawsuit to declare Johnson's presidency illegitimate and demand that all decisions made durning that time be reversed.

...a whole bunch of us are going to h-e-double hockey sticks.
Or Raptured involuntarily, just out of spite. - By Onecos. Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @10:40am:Lee Harvey Oswald struggled to score "marksman" on the Marine Corps rifle range. However, he scored a head shot on a moving target. Do I sense support for the grassy knoll?

- By . Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @11:19am:Believing in God is much different than believing in absurd Catholic rituals. She must think God is one cruel being if she'd send her dead husband to hell just because someone didn't say the magic words before his heart stopped.

Cue up the Twilight Zone theme... - By ElMoney. Comment posted 03-Nov-2009 @05:28pm:Do I sense support for the grassy knoll?
My husband always calls it the "grassy gnome," which makes more sense to me, anyway, you know, given that we haven't been able to locate this "person" in all of these years. - By .

Compare that with something like the Bible. Some people are completely convinced that it's an accurate and true record of what happened 2,000+ years ago.
The mind boggles.
