Yesterday I picked out a trash can this monthÕs copy
of Vanity Fair which had a close-up
black-and-white photo of Bobby Kennedy for its cover. The headline was
something to the effect, ÒThe Tragedy, Remembering His Legacy and Why it Still
Matters.Ó
This town has the most unreal love affair with the
Kennedys. The worship-coverage never ends!
On Monday, I was walking the sidewalks outside my
former office building at 345 Hudson (near the Holland Tunnel) and when I
passed through TriBeCa I saw a group of young European tourists looking at
their maps, trying to figure out just which block and building it was that
J.F.K. Jr. lived in with his wife prior to their shocking plane deaths.

The advertising giants here in New York think theyÕre
so cute and cunning in how they deliver up SatanÕs lie program for the ÒsophisticatedÓ
and ever-so-ÒcosmopolitanÓ localsÕ consumption.
HereÕs a great example: At the corner of Grand and
West Broadway in SoHo is an outdated billboard promoting a local TV special
from January (that, in itself, is a huge tip-off!) which simply consists of a
bearded, middle-aged, white businessmanÕs face up-close against a white
background with the words ÒLie to me*Ó (notice the asterisk). The asterisk is
then explained in big black letters below: Ò*He sees the truth. ItÕs written
all over our faces.Ó That line is followed by the listing, ÒWed., Jan. 21, 9
p.m., Fox 5.Ó
So I came back to my friendÕs apartment last night and
what did I see on the cover of this weekÕs Newsweek—an extremely similar
close-up photo of a true lookalike against a white background with only these three
words in black for the magazineÕs entire cover, ÒObama is wrong.Ó

Today was a story in the Post about how a 25-strong Amish contingency rode a yellow school bus
into New York City yesterday to get their second-annual guided tour of Hasidic-influenced
Crown Heights, Brooklyn by Rabbi Beryl Epstein of the Lubavitcher sect.
One 37-year-old Amish father was quoted proudly observing,
ÒItÕs interesting to see how the Jews live and what they believe. The tradition
is similar. They believe what their fathers believed—which is how we
believe.Ó
This is where Satan gets so many religious people by
having them place family pride and tradition over GodÕs Words.
In Galatians 1:14, the Apostle Paul even admits about
his Pharisee past as a persecutor of Christ that he Òprofited in the Jews'
religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly
zealous of the traditions of my fathers.Ó
