I remember as a young boy, thinking it very strange and peculiar if a house didn't have his picture hanging. It was like not having indoor plumbing.


My wife remembers seeing Kennedy drive through Exeter on Rt 11. He was in a convertible, wearing a light, summer suit. The town was going crazy. Nice Irish, Catholic boy...oh yeah and a Democrat to boot.

You know you learn new things everyday.

Quote:
Roughly half of the emperors of the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 AD) kept young male lovers — a fact we know because imperial scribes dutifully recorded their affairs in works like Biographies of the Emperors’ Male Favorites. Such tolerance prevailed up through the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), when artists produced sex scrolls depicting intercourse between men.

Did you all know Winston Churchill dabbled in alternate history fiction?

Published in 1930, "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg."
