November 22nd

Forty-five years ago today, John F. Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, Texas. I remember it like it was yesterday. Until the morning of 9-11-01, I considered the assassination of our 35th President to be the most significant event of my lifetime...

Now, this day is hardly even noted. The last reference I saw a modern day politician make to this event was last month when John McCain referred to it as the intervention.

Quite frankly, I spent most of my life believing that things couldn't get any weirder than they did after Kennedy was killed. I was wrong.

And I always felt that there would be no possible way that I'd ever forget what happened on November 22nd in Dallas. But I was wrong about that, too. I was awake for at least two hours this morning before I remembered.
