h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

 Why do dozen's of people look for the dead son of a murdered president that lived 30 years ago? Why does the media spend most of it's time and effort on this 'story' and posts it all over the planet?
Why for that matter, does anybody care? I refuse to see the sense of it except for the laughter being brought to us about the event. Have a joke or smart remark? Make me smile...

*smile*

The Mayor of Marthas Vineyard has been blamed for the plane crash....Apparently he went out of his house .....and left the landing light on

I am also confused gamaboy!
The whole thing has created massive expenses for the US Navy, a painstaking search to recover the body from its watery grave, only for the bill to be doubled by taking it out and dropping it in the ocean all over again 2 days later!!!!!!??????

Glad to see I'm not the only one worried about this ludicrous situation. THX

What really upset me was one reporter's phrase "JFK Jr. and the Bessette Girls". Like they were on a date and crashed the family car. Just because Caroline hadn't propagated the normal dozen or so new Kennedy's doesn't make her any less of one. And Lauren was a human being like anyone else. She had friends and family not any less devastated than the Kennedy's are. Just because John John was a presidents son does not automatically make him president one day. And on top of that his father had his faults.

I wonder if President Lincoln's decendants have a member in hospital or deceased right now?
