Since I'm too lazy to write anything, why not a word from Robert F. Kennedy

I guess one of the many advantages of not running for president is that I can hopefully think and talk about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy without getting into any hot water.

As some may already know, RFK was assassinated 40 years ago today in California, in what was obviously a horrendous act by Sirhan Sirhan.

In a tender yet bitter bit of irony, he gave what I (and I'm hardly alone) still consider to be his best speech in announcing the death of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to the fine folks of Indianapolis. This clip is only a little under two minutes long, so if you happen to stop by here today, take a little time to watch it. Now more than ever, peace.
