I had a pilot speculate to me once: “That harpy of a wife of his probably screeched at him all the way down as he spun to the water ‘YOU TOLD ME YOU COULD FLY IN THIS! YOU SAID...’...”

It would amaze you how long a drunk can live. What normally kills them is accidents. We have a cousin who smokes Weed all day and drinks all night. He’ll probably outlive us. He eats well, play golf almost every day and grows a garden.
Also, when a drunk stops eating, find them a plot.

It’s been alleged over the years Rosemary was being sexually molested by her father and that’s why she was lobotomized and put away in an institution.

Good God. I would hope that isn’t true, but after seeing the Biden family at work, there is no level of degradation that I believe Leftist politicians cannot descend to.

I always found it odd that the Kennedys thought they were capable of running the country when they consistently have trouble running their own family.

Sure, every family has an oddball here and there, but it seems that just about everyone in the family has some sort of dysfunction.
