By some of us- apparently not by others. Which is fine. I say every man or woman is entitled to be as morose as he or she wants- but they can't expect the rest of us to be that way, or act in accordance with some as yet unarticulated (but we know it when we read the joke) line of conduct.

Bill, as you know, I'm no Kennedy lover. I thought JFK was overrated as a President and Bobby never got far enought to make a judgment. I think Ted is a national disgrace. I think the media gives the family a free ride and I think many of the Kennedy transgressions which do make it into the papers would surely have resulted in jail time for you or I. That being said, I don't think the type of "levity" which was posted is appropriate on the day when the bodies of three young people (who died tragically under whatever the circumstances may be) are being laid to rest. Despite the Kennedy linkage, these are people too. The media circus does not justify such "levity". Just my personal "sanctimonious scolding" opinion. JLA
