Kennedys Donate Compound to Charity

The Kennedy family has donated the main house at their famous waterfront compound in Cape Cod, Mass., to become an education center teaching leadership and inspiring public service -- keeping a promise that the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) made to his mother, Rose. "This house was my family's epicenter, where my grandparents, father, uncles and aunts would retreat to connect with one another through heated political debates in the dining room and rousing games on the front lawn," said his son Ted Kennedy Jr.

The Kennedys being one of the 13 steps on the pyramid on the back of the federal reserve's one dollar bill and one of tne 13 families....owe the world's population, far more than this.

Their crimes are Legion, just like their Master.

"The taxes on it must be a bitch."

Not anymore.

I wonder if the municipality has any input, knowing it'll be losing out on a sizable chunk?

Bush kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and Kennedy is the bad guy.

Got it.

Republicans are party over country.

As usual.

Carry on--wave that flag--thump that bible--just ignore reality.

Ted Kennedy was an unintelligent oaf who spent his entire life actually believing that it was his God given duty to impose his will on others.

That has nothing to do with the hundreds of thousands of deaths caused by Bush. Thousands of Americans. Thousands of children. Thousands of women. Thousands of innocent men. There's enough blood for eveyone. Your hands included.

Dalton, aren't those the guys Liberator Bush invited in? Especially all those suicide bomber sunni jihadists funded by his buddies in saudi arabia? The same fine people funding the taliban?

They should place a dildo shaped flag pole out in front with a flag on it for every sexual conquest committed by the Kennedy males in the home. Part of the Kennedy epicenter and legacy.

They should also have a replica of the bridge at Chappaquiddick.

I like the idea that they gave the place to charity. However, since it was the Kennedy's home, donating it to Alcoholics Anonymous would have been more fitting.

They'll be finding hidden liqueur bottles in that place for decades.

You think this thread is bad?

Go back to post-Katrina when the federal government upped the income tax charitable deduction rate from 50% to 70% and Cheney donated 70% of his income to charity that year.

THAT was some truly nasty shit - over 100 nasty posts blasting Cheney for donating 70% of his income to charity.

"Go back to post-Katrina when the federal government upped the income tax charitable deduction rate from 50% to 70% and Cheney donated 70% of his income to charity that year."

Uh-huh.

Cheney made "charitable contributions in excess of $6,800,000 on income of just under $9,000,000. For those who are not familiar with tax rules, let's just say that this is a very high, an unusually high number.

"While this is not illegal, by exploiting a loophole in the Katrina tax relief laws passed regarding charitable donations, Dead Eye Dick was able to obtain a refund of at least $1,000,000 MORE than he would be able to get in any other year.

"The best part? None of the charities were Katrina related at all."

Spud was here for the RIP threads of both Ted Kennedy *and* Jerry Falwell.

That Cheney thread was nothing compared to those.

Be Well.

So true. I wonder if Laura Bush thought the same thing when she decided to kill her boyfriend with her car.
