      Finally someone else has the courage to say it. I hate when people call JFK's death an "assassination". An unfortunate accident doesn't mean we should rush to assign blame. Shit happens.

        That's why Jackie was trying to collect his brains to stuff back in his skull. It had happened before.

          He was 46 at the time, with his lifestyle and whatever damage World War 2 did. That's about the age where things start going wrong with your health.

            The press had obediently covered up his other health problems, like Addison's disease. How many head explosions did they ignore???

              Oh Jesus that's right, Addison's disease. There you go. Of course the "magic bullet theory" had to jump through so many hoops just to "prove" he was somehow shot. It's like FDR's wheelchair.
