A very provoking question is asked of Jackie Kennedy’s privacy…
While I do not care for the term “revisionist”, I do care about truth.
And it has always been my “feeling” that the Warren Commission Report’s conclusion on the assassination of JFK – that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman – is “flawed”.
I don’t even feel Oswald killed him.
No, I was not present during the Commission’s hearings nor was I even in Texas when JFK was murdered… but is it PRACTICABLE that Oswald, using a cheaply made Russian Italian rifle, could accurately squeeze off three rounds – and hit the President twice? Remember, he didn’t have a “dry run” before the motorcade drove by.
But this new documentary, “JFK: the Smoking Gun” was absolutely fascinating.
I watched it today on Netflix… for FREE.
Even if you were born after JFK’s assassination, watching this will give you some insight on how the Federal Government operates – to the detriment of the people it is to meant to serve. It’s politicians trying to police politicians… Or the Secret Service trying to protect itself.

A trailer:
If you have military background, the ballistics analysis alone is overpowering. Definitely worth watching for that alone.
…but I believe there was a second gunman.
Whoopee. 🙂
What about you?
If your eyes don’t spring a leak, there is something amiss… like with our current administration.
It really says something when your own country can’t afford a flyover for a rare duo burial.
For my foodie, filosofical and fotografy friends, I’d like to introduce to you my e-friend from flickr who just began blogging… For all intents and purposes, not only is she a chef but also a pro photographer. And most of all, she is one happy puppy. Kinda rubs off on you. Enjoy!
These tasty chocolate lollipops couldn’t be easier to make. All you need is 16 ounces of an excellent quality chocolate, about a 1/2 cup (each) of two kinds of garnish of your choice and a playful spirit. They are especially fun to make with kids, small or big!
I like to use a combination of semi-sweet dark chocolate and milk chocolate for my lollipops, but you can use any chocolate you prefer: bitter-sweet, semi-sweet, milk chocolate (or any combination thereof) or even white chocolate. Dried fruit and toasted nuts make excellent topping choices, but go wild with any toppings you’d like. The only goal here is to have fun with it. Also, it doesn’t hurt to get a lot of chocolate on your fingers as you clean up, just so you have to lick them.
Until now, I’ve always tempered my chocolate using a double boiler and I admit that my chocolate didn’t always come out perfectly. This time, I…

Although not an indicator of quality, my macro shot of a lily got selected for “Explore” on FLICKR. It was one of 500 “interesting” photos of May 2nd and FLICKR states over 1.4 million photos are uploaded daily worldwide.
There have been over 11,500 views of the picture so far in 24 hours. That’s a REAL high volume for me.
Sure wish that many would read my blog. I’ll even settle for a paltry 10,000 views a month. 😜

OK. I’ve finished bragging.

Oh, well. But it said to tag it “One Word Photo Challenge” so I did…

Who loves classic cars?!
Now what and where do I link this to? Old age sucks.
