Pretty well documented to be a plot by the Roman Senate. Caesar was stabbed 23 times times by perhaps up to 60 individuals. Brutus, Cassius and others implicated. "I came, I saw, I bled to death on the Senate's cold marble floor." This conspiracy started a civil war. Will Shakespeare later purchases the stage and movie rights. Highly unlikely for there to have been any direct CIA involvement, still a possible mafia connection though...?

There was a well-documented conspiracy, not only to kill Lincoln, but to decapitate the Union government (see Manhunt: The 12 day Chase for Lincoln's Killer by James Swanson, 2007 www.amzn.com/0060518502). Lincoln was killed with a single shot pistol to the back of the head by the actor John Wilkes Booth while watching the play Our American Cousin at Ford's Theater. Secretary of State Seward was stabbed by co-conspirator Lewis Powell and nearly killed in his bed. There was a plot to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson in his hotel room which miscarried. Peanut, a young black man whose only crime was to have held John Wilkes Booth's horse in the alley near Ford's theatre, was convicted as an accomplice and went to jail. The unfortunate Dr. Samuel Mudd of Maryland ("Your name is Mudd!") who mended Booth's broken leg was convicted and sent to Devil's island. This conspiracy ended a civil war.
Let's not forget the amazing series of dissimilarities between the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations. Lincoln was a Republican, while JFK was a Democrat. Lincoln wore a beard, while JFK was clean-shaven. Lincoln was Protestant, while JFK was Catholic. Lincoln led the Union during the Civil War, while JFK was a peacetime President, etc. Mind-blowing stuff!

This just in! A top secret recently released Freedom of Information Act cable reads as follows....
"November 20, 1941
My Dearest Eleanor,
It would really help my re-election chances if you would pay a visit to the island of Oahu this December. I hear that the weather is lovely this time of year--much nicer than DC. Regretfully, my darling, pressing affairs of state will prevent me from accompanying you...
Love,
Franklin"

The assassination of President Kennedy by a deranged communist fellow traveller and US Marine marksman who had spent time in the Soviet Union (Lee Harvey Oswald) has been a sore point for the left for many years. Ruby's subsequent murder of Oswald deepened the mystery, but was wholly understandable on a human level. In spite of all the books, movies and TV specials, the original Warren Commission report conclusion was very likely correct that Oswald was the lone killer of JFK. He certainly had motive, means and opportunity. Oswald did, however, visit the Cuban consulate in Mexico city prior to the assassination so perhaps we can look forward to a deathbed confession from Fidel before he reaches room temperature--though this would provide cold comfort for liberals...?

Delightful sense of humor. Enchanting show of wit. Bon mot at its best. And beautifully written. Thank you for the good laughs.
Marcil,
Thanks for your kind words!
Cheers from London,

Kelly, I'm back here to say, first, that I spent a long time reading your posts and it was really worth it. It is so rare to find high quality material like this. Totally agree on the conservatism with humor issue. And you sure can use irony. Secondly, inspired by this very post here (but far from having the same talent) I wrote an unpretentious piece called "History as Taught by Susan Rice". If you have nothing else to do, stop by. It will certainly be an honor.
