Ready For Wall-to-Wall JFK Day?
Dean Miller, former SR colleague and southeast Idaho newspaper editor, has had it up to here with JFK remembrances. Moments ago, he
posted on Facebook: “I can’t wait for the Kennedy-ganza to end. It affirms the worst perversions of our politics. Yes, history matters. Yes, we don’t know what might have been. Boomer historians have squeezed every ounce out of that turnip. Can we be done?” I haven’t pushed the JFK assassination (Friday) too much. Yes, I know where I was when I heard the news — a high school freshman during my school’s lunch hour. I also know what I did the rest of the day. And I’ve recently read Stephen King’s 11/22/1963 about a guy who wants to stop the Kennedy assassination. But I’m not sure how to proceed tomorrow.

Question: Do you want wire-to-wire coverage of the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination? Or something way more reserved?
