Before I forget, today is the 41st anniversary of the assasination of President John F. Kennedy. A day that changed America forever and not always for the best.
The assassination made it possible for America to become deeply involved in Vietnam resulting in the sacrifice of 58,000 men and women. The Kennedy Presidency encouraged a young Arkansas boy, Bill Clinton, to become president and damage the office like no one else.
It was a bad day then and it is a bad day now.
Here are some interesting items.
+A conservative group, Move America Forward, wants the UN out of the US. With a petition drive and television commercial, the organization is calling for the UN to leave the US. It describes the UN as a corrupt organization that did not support the US war on terrorism and is an impediment to democracy.
Last week, I noted on this blog that the US should pull out of the UN, but this idea has some additional merit.

+Liberals like to criticize the Bush Administration for being to "cozy" with the Saudis and other Arab nations.
It would appear that short-term memory loss is part of being liberal and a Clinton supporter. Records indicate that a portion of the $165 million Bubbahland was funded by the Saudis and other Arab countries.
How soon they forget.
