The house was donated for use as an education center? To inspire public service?

Or to inspire liberalism? To inspire global warming zealots?

Hugh Hefner should have donated the moldering Playboy mansion for use as an education center. The taxpayers could have spiffed it up in perpetuity, and he could still have scheduled parties there.

Faithful to its image as a down-to-earth crew, members of the famous family that once included President John F Kennedy and his brother, former US Attorney General Robert F Kennedy, were spotted setting up chairs and helping black-clad workers with last minute preparations.

Good for them. Another couple of generations and young Kennedys might once again rediscover useful work. Reversion to the mean. In fact, I imagine many of today's young Kennedys already have, but they're not the ones we read about in the media because they're working rather than being celebrity dilettantes.

It is hard for trust fund families to instill a work ethic in rising generations. This is a very old story: shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves and all that. I understand the problem. Working for relative chump change at something you don't love is torture when your trust fund checks just keep rolling in. The pay isn't the problem; the problem is boredom when the spur of necessity is absent and you're looking at 40 hours of tedium a week at some task you really don't care for and don't need to do.

Status competition often becomes the substitute motivator. People will work ferociously hard to gain prestige, but that leads to its own problems … and leads to nothing but futility and frustration if it's not coupled with genuine talent.

I have great respect for trust fund kids who bury themselves in a library and emerge decades later as distinguished historians, who live in a lab and do useful things in science, or who at least open up a creditable crunchy granola business in a little New England town. But for those of mediocre talent, wealth can be a trap. The Kennedys have provided too many examples.

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven

Shouldn't he be back at home trying to figure out how to deal with the Muslim terrorists Sweden let into their country?

What a messed up article.

“”Rory Kennedy, youngest daughter of US Senator Robert Kennedy, is pictured in a pastel scarf. Her cousin Robert Kennedy Jr was flying to her wedding when he was killed in a plane crash in 1999””

Robert Kennedy Jr., is Rory Kennedy’s father...Good grief. Her cousin JFK, Jr. was killed in the plane crash..

“”Their children were also no-shows, though Patrick Schwarzengger did fly into New York on Friday and later head out to the Hamptons, suggesting he and JFK heir Jack Schlosberg might jet up the coast for the big day.””

JFK heir - Jack Schlosberg - that would be Caroline’s son but have no idea why he would be JFK’s heir.

“”Jean Kennedy Smith, the only surviving sibling of John, Robert and Edward, was also not seen at the dinner on Friday.””

ALSO NOT SEEN at the dinner?

And BTW, the bride-to-be needs a HAIR CUT! Not any great lookers in that crowd, is there?

I recently saw an interview with Robert Jr. Vegetables usually show more life. I believe the booze and drug abuse have taken their toll.

Did anyone notice the video toward the bottom of the page that shows a bloodied photographer leaving while guests are arriving? The caption only mention guest arriving, but the video is focused on the reporter with blood on his face and red blood all over the front of his green camo cargo pants, while he’s wiping his hands off. I want to see the pictures he took!
