Happy 40th anniversery!

This past weekend marked a few anniverseries of famous events in American history. Both of them are 40th anniverseries, in fact.
The first is the famous moon landing.
The second is the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne. You remember the stories, Ted Kennedy drove off the Chappaquiddick bridge, got himself out, and went home. Yeah, he did report the accident to the police. 8 hours later. Oh yeah, he forgot Mary Jo was inside the car. She never made it out.
8 hours is about enough time to go through a good drunk. Old Teddie was no doubt drunk as a skunk when he drove off the bridge, barely got himself out, let alone Mary Jo. He waited till he was sober before he called the police. All he ever got was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. It should have been murder, but money and political power can do strange things to the justice system.
