President Kennedy Injured in Dallas?

what

Apparently, he was riding in a convertible inside some sort of parade. WTF, Franz Ferdinand anyone?

I hope he makes it out okay. I can't imagine living in a country governed by Lyndon B. Johnson.

Wait a minute, you're from texas, hoos. Have you heard anything?

nothing on cnn but drudge is reporting on it

tmz is there

Not to be a dick, but this is what you get when you interfere with Laos.

I saw the Drudge thing on our teletype here in the office, but pish. Who can believe anything Drudge says?

Hold on. My mom just called and said that Walter Cronkite is on.

This has Castro's name written all over it.

INSIDE JOB

Cronkite saying that three shots were fired at the motorcade, and that Kennedy may be seriously injured.

Holy shit.

omg they blew his mind out in a car

had he noticed that the lights had changed???

my dad went and brought an umbrella for some reason, even though there's no rain in dallas today

Wait a minute, you're from texas, hoos. Have you heard anything?

-- Pleasant Plains, Thursday, February 14, 2008 10:23 PM

my dad is already blaming the communists.

Texas governor may have been hit as well.

Would that be Price Daniel? Hoos?

Where's that young sprightly lad Dr. Morbius to share his opinions on the matter?

connolly xp

i think, the tx gov is just a figurehead anyway. whotf knows.

White slender man, 165 lbs, being searched for by DPD and Secret Service.

Hell, that could be anyone in Dallas, amirite?

Shakey Mo asked me to relay this message: good riddance

Not a Cuban or Puerto Rican, it seems.

I just realized something kind of weird. Abe Lincoln was elected exactly 100 years before Kennedy. And if Kennedy died -- God forbid -- Lyndon Johnson would become president, just like when Lincoln died, Andrew Johnson became president. Kinda gives you the chills, huh?

Pleasant Plains, where were the shots fired from? The spectators on the street?

buddy of mine's in the m*fia and told me to stay in today. "some real bullshit's going down." related?

I hope they don't cancel that new Doctor Who show tomorrow cos of this, apparently the special effects are incredible.

You probably had that factoid already stored in what of your ledger books, didn't you, jaymc?

They're not saying yet where the shots were fired. "Pandemonium" is gripping Dallas right now, according to the broadcast.

CBS saying that presidential limo is specifically built for public rides, and that the president's seat is actually lifted higher than regular cars so that the crowd can see him.

Great idea, car designers.

:/

on valentine's day, of all days

i just got back from an afternoon showing of it's a mad mad mad mad world--can someone give an update?

My mom keeps calling me back with what's on the TV. I've been trying to get news from the radio, but they're not talking about it yet. (!!)

However, they just announced that Aldous Huxley died today. Brave New World indeed.

CRONKITE: KENNEDY IS GONE.

;_;

xxp What a day. CS Lewis died today, too.

FUCK.

I'm going to log off for a bit. I'm sure we'll have more to talk about later.

This feels so weird.

Goodbye, Camelot.

too soon.

I'll always remember where I was at this moment. Sitting in front of my computer reading an online message board.

What a day. CS Lewis died today, too.

Jackie Kennedy, what's on your iPod?

RIP first patsy cline now this can 1963 get any worse

Who will console the widow Jacqui?

Rock Hudson's available.

not to sound like a total geek but does anyone have any idea if this is going to effect the space program?

so i guess this means johnson is taking over then? where ever will they swear him in?

Why? Where is he?

that guy's always made me nervous re: escalating things in asia. but i mean nobody would be that fucking stupid, right?

he could get backed into a corner. fuck. fuuuck.

Don't worry, I doubt he'll be in office long enough.

we need to keep those dominoes from tipping

you're right. gotta figure nixon must be salivating at this, unfortunately.

Yeah, things aren't gonna be too groovy over the next four years.

xpost - yeah, right, nixon's finished

Prime Minister MacMillan is going to make a statement to parliament at 7pm. We got your back over here, America. Stay strong.

they'll probably swear that motherfucker in ASAP, like in a hallway or a car or some shit

We won't have Nixon to kick around any more

Obviously, the worst thing to happen in this country for the next fifty years.

Who would have ever thought that someone would shoot the president as he was riding in a convertible? I mean, it seems so obvious now.

There's this kid in our office, Glenn Anzalone, who says he's already writing a tribute to JFK. Restores my faith in the youth of this nation.

off topic, but good thing i'll be graduating from the university in a couple years and I'll be too old for the draft. Never thought i'd even have to worry about that these days.

i guess LBJ will avoid cars for awhile, right?

youtube link?

lol Macmillan.

Would've made a better speech than Douglas-Homo, anyway.

i can't wait to hear the word "guilty" read to whoever did this

I can't help but think of his children, whose lives will be marked forever by this one single isolated tragedy

The FBI'll be moving to clear this up pretty quick.

wow...just...wow

I jus gotta say, as an Australian, ALL THE WAY WITH LBJ

dallas: city of hate

wow nabisco being otm officially makes this whole thing real to me

at least we've got bobby

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.

jfk's myspace page is still up, kind of eerie and sad.

Am I the only one wondering when things are going to feel "normal" again?

Stencilled. I can tell by some of the pixels and seeing quite a few stencils in my day.

So not gonna happen.

someone add cryingeagle.jpg to that photo

...with newspapers, scissors and glue

Let's hope there are no Snakes! on the Plane!

too soon

Now we'll never get to the moon :(

Screw the moon, this is going to kill the Civil Rights Act

was gonna say dude

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

I guess in the context of civil rights that one doesnt make much sense

We're never going to make it to the moon now.

Now we'll never get to the moon :(

Yeah, but the way he got to the Senate still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. LOL Benjamin Smith.

Nostradamus predicted this, you know! Roof! And a ruined man! (the rest is unimportant poetry)

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)

think the coup in Iraq might have anything to do with this?

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?

OMG WTF in today's paper!

Just in case anyone forgets: the number one songs on the US and UK charts today:

UK: You'll Never Walk Alone - Gerry & The Pacemakers

ok guys you didn't hear it from me but I think some buddies of mine are going to be stuck in indochina for a little longer than planned

i guess dale & grace have earned their immortality, but in a sad way.

that's just the scuttlebutt out here a little bit south of Chocolate City if you get my meaning

If the rumors I hear about Kennedy are anywhere close to true, there is going to wind up being some kind of strip club involved in all this

"happy birthday mister president"

;_;

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.

ok i was watching tv and that negro what's his name, muhammad x, is all like "lol you get what you pay for" or something did anyone else see this?

John Kennedy has changed his relationship status to "single".

?!?!

Jacqueline Onassis has removed "Dallas" from her interests.

Can someone ask the mods to update the thread title now he's been declared dead?

why so many?

Dallas has a suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Apparently, he is in fact a Communist.

Since when did the media start adding middle names to these guys? They never did that with Charlie Starkweather. Probably just a trend.

John Wilkes Booth!

Okay him. But at least they gave it a rest for Charles Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz.

But really. I can't even believe that we're talking about the president of the United States dying today.

xxp What a day. CS Lewis died today, too.

And Aldous Huxley! ZOMGWTF!

Flags at half-mast (half-staff?) here in Little Rock. Can't stop watching the news on TV. Probably going to be like this through the weekend.

Imagine if channels always ran news nonstop like this. That'd be so cool.

i can't help but feel this is some kind of cosmic justice for the stolen election of 1960. chickens be comin' home to roost, is it not so?

There's a good side to this though, because one day you'll have a mad republican president who invades all sorts of countries and can't manage the economy and is shit, and he'll be assassinated too. Clouds and silver linings and all that.

too soon

:(

Hey guys. Just got back from Frankfurt. I saw the most amazing group of gay English boys play that rock and roll. I told them they would be a smash in America. (Of course, I was being selfish because I want to see them closer to home, lol.)

I wonder how David Frost will cover it on TWTWTW.

Let's hope they don't make the mistake of going all gooey and sentimental, like getting Millicent Martin to sing "Three Bells" or something.

I don't want to be the one to call out the instant canonisation here, but this guy was kind of a dick in South America, remember?

Anyway, I bet the Americans bomb Cuba to fuck over this - we could be in the early days of World War 3 already :(

At least the suspect is safely in police hands

US radio stations USELESS!

A nation in MOURNING and all they can do is play BLAND POPIST PAP by fly-by-night NME hypes like the BEATLES!

Systems thinking can solve this mess - all radio programmers to be SACKED and REPLACED by AWARE PROACTIVE programmers with full knowledge of diverse music spectra including developments in HARD FORMALIST ORNETTECORE, VARESE SPUNKWAVE and TRAD FADELA.

TRAD FAVELA even.

In the light of this, I think all competitive sport should be suspended immediately. I can't see the point in continuing with a triviality like the current English football season.

Again? Didn't he die like a year ago or something? Something there is that doesn't like the grave.

Police correspondent Alex Drake quipped "it's all a dream, I'm in 1963world" at a special press conference.

why'd they take him to Parkland did he not have insurnce

What's that white stuff Jackie's so desperate to collect? OMG he was smuggling drugs in his head for the mob!

Some guy just walked directly up to Lee Henry Oswald and shot him on TV I am crapping you negative

This is totally fucked up. They have the suspect of the biggest crime of the century and he's not protected. Makes me think that someone wanted him shut up because he could name the people who were bankrolling him. I don't buy it that he was a lone nutjob, it must be the Soviets behind it.

Some of the political blogs are now claiming there was a second gunman, up on some grassy knoll somewhere. Mentalists as far as I'm concerned, that'll never stick.

(meta note: This thread is dangerously close to starting an actual discussion about the Kennedy assassination, CIO.)

It is an actual discussion about the Kennedy assassination! Have you had blinders on in the past few days, you fucking beatnik?

As far as those conspiracy theories, I heard that someone told all the Jews to stay out of Dealy Plaza on Friday.

OK, guys, let's put down the Carling Black Label and face facts, this guy was only human and just as corrupt as the rest of our presidents...except for FDR, Wilson, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and Teddy - now they were some infallible guys with no skeletons in their closets.

Kennedy was a hothead with next to no policy experience who nearly got us into the next Big One just a few months ago - or have you knuckleheads already forgotten in the rush to make him the next Marilyn Monroe? Now there was a death worth bemoaning - someone who really stood for America in a way you could get behind. If we ever even hear the name Kennedy in politics again I'd be very surprised.

The only consolation for all this hand-wringing is that Johnson has got his head screwed on straight. I'm counting on him to follow up all the empty promises of Kennedy's presidency with real change; we should be okay so long as he doesn't get us entangled in any military quagmires. (The rubes are talking about Indochina but anyone with any understanding of geopolitics should understand that the next big fight is going to be over the Finnish border.) 'Nuff said!

This is bumming me out, but I'm not going to completely despair. I think there's a lot of promise in his little brother Bobby.

Has someone from Europe blamed the US' right to bear arms yet? Let me be the first then!

mail-order gun? mail-order fun more like it

I think there's a lot of promise in his little brother Bobby

Surely it's time for America to look beyond one political family and to get a colored president. It's kind of a crazy idea and I know some of you are going to say it's too soon. But this guy's on a roll after that big march and I hear he's up for the Nobel prize next. Now's the time to seize the initiative...
http://paskewich.typepad.com/paskewichcom/images/martin_luther_king.gif

multi xpost Tragic that Monroe and Kennedy both died so young, they would have made a beautiful couple.

Still, look on the bright side, Jackie Kennedy's single. Lady Bird Johnson's definitely not my first lady ;-)

(meta again -- ok, this thread is actually pretty depressing. I mean... can you IMAGINE...?)

I wouldn't vote for MLK if he ran in the primaries against Bobby or Lyndon. BFK and LBJ has already done much for the black community. They're experienced. I know that MLK has been skeptical of the rumblings in Indochina, but really, he's just all talk about fairy tales, a dreamweaver.

Yeah, I think you're right, I mean what more could blacks want? They need to trust that LBJ does the right thing. To be honest I cannot see a time when America will be ready for a black president. Maybe a woman?! Yeah, right, I know.

I wonder about Teddy this weekend. I hope he doesn't drown in his sorrows.

I can't believe Teddy was elected to the senate. All he ever does is drink and chaffeur his brothers' friends around, the useless sod.

I think he got elected because of his looks, to be honest.

damn teddy is a fine lookin bro

is anybody else really worried about nixon

who?

ike's veep, ran against jfk back in 60. scary dude, and the party likes him i think.

They say Nixon lost the election because he looked like he's hungover in that one televised debate, and didn't come off as appealing as JFK. In reality he'd just been ill, and refused to wear makeup. So Kennedy won just because he looked better, wore makeup like some queer, and was generally better at bullshitting gullible voters. At least Nixon's got some integrity.

All that was missing was Kennedy having a cute puppy or something with him.

oh my god speaking of cute:

Goldwater's going to wipe him up next year if LBJ does get cozy with the negroes.

I think enough time has passed now to view these events with equanimity. How's it shaping up for you guys over there? Personally, I reckon there were two, maybe three shooters, and that the R-s were involved. (Can't take too many risks!)

can a mod change the thread title :(

I don't think we should do that. This is a chilling historical document of a terrible blow for world peace, and should be kept as is. Anyway, gotta scoot - nuclear drill!

Goldwater's going to wipe him up next year if LBJ does get cozy with the negroes.

Spent half-an-hour on this morning. Students were very interested--they always are, today especially--asked some smart questions.

You're not gonna believe this, but Oswald has been shot.

The owner of a striptease-type nightclub, Harry Reasoner says. How could such a person be let in the jail by the cops?

I missed the live stream but looked at the excerpted clip. So Oswald wasn't shot on live television? From the clip, it looks like they cut to a lot of general confusion after he's been shot, and then play the actual shooting on tape a few minutes later.

not on CBS

what network is it on there are only three, people.

well we had the Dumont network a few years ago, but that'll never happen again

A corps of researchers looking into the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy say they have unearthed proof his alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was involved in an operation by the CIA mere months before the killing, reigniting questions about whether the Oswald truly was alone in his decision to kill the youngest man ever elected president.

In a Tuesday press conference at the National Press Club, Jefferson Morley—a veteran of the D.C. press corps and a preeminent expert on JFK's assassination with the Mary Ferrell Foundation—told reporters that he and attorneys with the foundation obtained documentation relating to a still-classified covert operation approved by senior CIA officials three months before Kennedy's death that suggested the agency used Oswald for intelligence purposes several weeks prior to shooting.

"This is an extraordinarily serious claim, and it has profound implications for the official story," Morley said Tuesday morning in Washington. "The CIA knew far more about the lone gunman than then they are admitting even today. So this story deserves the closest possible scrutiny."
