    Stand tall Texas

    "Morrow claims that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, with the help of the CIA, was involved in the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy. Morrow owns four hundred books on the assassination and considers himself an expert on the topic." -Wikipedia

    Well, I'm sure there's always someone out there who'll buy that. Not me.

    My Grandfather came home from WWII and went to work as an FBI agent. He knew J. Edgar personally and moved his family from Texas to San Francisco to work in Hoover's West Coast headquarters. My grandfather said that the assassination investigation uncovered, "... more than we will ever know" about what actually happened. And, he only made that statement to his son (my father) and refused to discuss the assassination with any body else.

    I remember the assassination because my Mother cried that whole day. I'd never seen her do that before. But, I was only 5 and it's one of my few childhood memories.

    That's the first I've heard of him. I guess I'll have to look him up to see what's going on. Although it sounds like he would fit right in with the rest of the idiots on the board.

    I started to ask Dave if his math was correct because I was in forth grade when Kennedy was shot. But Dave's post is signed by Hunter, what am I thinking I'm seeing?

    I is confused. The OP is from Dave, mentions some goofball, then something about someone’s grandfather (presumably Hunter’s), and is signed by Hunter. I thought I remembered a post about the goofball winning a primary for a Texas School Board post, but now nothing on that. What goes here?

    It is actually quite simple, although not something anyone would guess.

    Several years ago when I went on walkabout, rather than letting the site die, Ben and Utah took over. After my return, I didn't change anything regarding their administrative abilities.

    Now, after all that, here is the answer you've all been waiting for. The "edit" button is adjacent to the "reply" button. It is easy to poke the wrong button, especially when using a phone or a tablet. I've done it myself a number of times. So what happened is Utah accidentally hit the edit button and then typed his response in Dave's post.
    Simple, eh?

    Yep, Hunter screwed up, my friends. Mike nailed the reasons. I think I should take a sabbatical as penance.
