My first thoughts on seeing that were, "What are they celebrating now? It's way too early to be the Bay of Pigs..."
I like how a commemoration of Kennedy naturally focuses on shit that he said rather than shit that he actually did. For liberals, it matters more that a few lines, taken out of context in the middle of an otherwise terrifyingly militarist and imperialist address, have a pretty sound to them, than it does that the man who spoke them nearly eradicated multicellular life.

Google is having a contest in which you can submit your kids' drawings to serve as their logo for a day.
Another reason to be glad that I never spawned. :/

UGH CHRIST
I've never understood why I was supposed to be impressed by "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," anyway, because UGH CHRIST

Christopher: It seems that "the man who spoke them" DID "eradicate multicellular life," if I may generously estimate the brain capacity of your average liberal...

Ethan: That was always a head-scratcher for me, too - I mean, what is my country for if it's not actually doing something for the people who live in it? But "ask not..." has a nicer ring to it than "quit your bitching and give us money and cannon fodder," and all your average liberal really wants is a thug with stage presence.

Wasn't telling people not to ask for anything from "their" country directed rather pointedly as a certain separate but equal group? Who else was going to asking for anything new and unusual in 1961?
Meanwhile, fwiw, here's some new stuff from another massive over-rated Irishman:

Jesus Christ is also a harmless totem, eh? As OP might say.
