(September 12, 1962) What a moron, this guy thinks we can go to the moon.

Ever since last year when Yuri Gagarin went to space American have been too worried about space. ( I my opinion the Soviet fake the whole going into space thing). Anyway orbiting space and going all the way to the moon is completely different and just unrealistic. JFK needs to be more open minded and stop being stubborn about going to the moon. I really hope he doesn't finish him term and we can get LBJ in there.

[1978] Some new Horror/Slasher movie is set to come out later this year. Looks like the lead actress got the role through nepotism

[1974] Providence Needs a New Direction

Election season is finally starting to heat up and I think it’s time we get serious about change in this city. Buddy helped expose Mayor Dorley’s cash grab from the civic center. He’s going to bring needed change to Providence and I can’t imagine a fella as straight as him ever becoming a crook. Sure he’s a Republican but not all republicans are Richard Nixon. That’s why this fall I’ll be voting for Buddy Cianci the Anti-corruption Candidate.
