While we’re on the subject, I was born on August 20. Darwin published the theory of natural selection in the journal of the Linnean Society on August 20. Therefore, I am the pinnacle of human evolution.
Also, 8 20 is the area code for Kansas. Dorothy was from Kansas. Therefore, I am Julie Andrews’ mother.
Also, that Homeless Guy With The Golden Radio Voice is actually the illegitimate son of Colonel Sanders and Maya Angelou, but you don’t see him writing a book about it, do you?
I’m also curious, assuming it to be true (ahem), about why the government would want to kill her step brother. Period. And if they did, what purpose would it serve to ensure that he crashed at a time that would relate to the frequency of the radio station that she worked at during the same time.
In other words, what would the objective be to this conspiracy to make those two numbers be similar?
ETA: I mean her half brother. I also read the back cover of her book. Why would your grandmother be a daughter of Joe Kennedy as well?
JFK’s father was Joseph P. Kennedy. There’s no internet evidence of anyone named “Joe Sire Kennedy” anywhere except for sannemoore’s posts on various forums, so I’m guessing that was her grandfather’s name and she thinks the coincidence is meaningful, or she thinks that’s her real grandfather or something. But that’s assuming there’s any explanation the rest of us would understand. sannemoore, your stories sound exactly like the symptoms of schizophrenia. You should be talking to a therapist and probably should be on medication.
According to the text preview, Joseph Kennedy, Sr. tried to prevent World War 11. That seems to be working out quite well (so far).
Wait a second… JFK was instrumental in the space race, and “World War” is nine characters if you count the space… so “World War 11” must have been Joe Sr.'s secret code for 9/11. Egad! The Kennedys knew about it 70 years ago!
For an annulment to even be an issue, they’d have had to be married in the Church, not just a civil ceremony. No priest would have performed such a marriage without a few prior meetings and possibly some courses / counselling sessions. Possibly the banns would have had to be read publicly also. Much harder to keep all that quiet.
If it were a civil ceremony, then yeah - it could have been annulled and the records destroyed quietly. But Joe would not have had to pay off any priests in Florida or Rome - the Church would simply not have recognized the marriage. To Rome, therefore, It Never Happened.
WAG: combination of the fact that in the US, it’s almost pro forma to be able to get an annulment (well, that’s a bit flip - but I suspect it’s a bit easier than in other countries), and the fact that he was a Kennedy. Arguably, his tomcattery may have helped, in that it would have been an argument for his unreadiness to truly commit to his first marriage. And his family connections got him out of at least one other legal jam that would have meant a long jail sentence for pretty much anyone else.
And lest that get viewed as an un-GQ-like political snark: I liked the man’s politics, but most people wouldn’t argue that his family connections and personal prominence were the reasons he was never charged in the Chappaquiddick incident.

That’s assuming he ever got elected to begin with; the cheating on his Harvard exams might have kept people without powerful backers out.
Ah, but you are forgetting that 93.9 is just another way of writing 93 x 9 or 837 which was actually 2 years earlier thus changing your birthdate to the same as to when the Great Depression started and…omg… you are responsible for our current economic crisis! JFK knew all along!
Let’s remember also that 93.9, when mentioned in a radio context, actually means a frequency of 93.9 MegaHertz; or to put it another way, 93,900,000 Hertz.
And there is a Hertz rental car desk at Kennedy Airport!
Those Kennedys left so many clues, I’m surprised we didn’t pick up on this sooner.
