Tell me about it!

I found this:

A JFK audio track, for all those who think 'conspiracy theories' just sprouted yesterday...
... and he must have known something, else he wouldn't have caught a bullet ...or two.

JFK on monolithic and ruthless conspiracies:

Not surprised?

Arnie made pit stop for Cuban stogie

Katie Daubs, The Ottawa Citizen

Published: Friday, June 01, 2007
A funny thing happened on the way to the airport.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was on his way out of town, after a quick trip to Ottawa to meet Prime Minister Stephen Harper, when he decided to stop his five-car motorcade for a moment.
He got out and walked into the Westin Hotel to get a cigar. It was a Cuban, the kind that can't be found on the shelves of American cigar stores because of a long-standing embargo -- and the kind that Americans aren't legally allowed to smoke, even while away from home.

At around 8 p.m. Wednesday, Rahmat Assad's shift at International News Plus changed dramatically when he was told by a police officer that a special guest would be arriving.
Mr. Assad was stunned to see Mr. Schwarzenegger walk in, accompanied by ten police officers and security guards.
"I was very surprised. I couldn't believe my eyes. I've seen his movies," he said.
He said the governor, dressed in a pale blue shirt, was in and out very quickly. An aide who was with him bought him the Cuban cigar -- a Partagas -- for $15.99.
"They paid for it, he put it in his mouth, and he left," Mr. Assad said, adding that he did get to talk cigars with Mr. Schwarzenegger before he left the store. He said he was so excited at the time, though, that he can't remember what Mr. Schwarzenegger said.
Mr. Assad said, though, the governor was very genial.
After leaving the tiny shop inside of Ottawa's Westin Hotel, the motorcade left for the airport -- where the governor had to catch a flight to Vancouver. Mr. Schwarzenegger did not stay overnight in Ottawa.
The U.S. embargo got more strict in 2004, when it also became illegal for American citizens to purchase or smoke the cigars abroad.
There's a movement to change the policy within the United States. This week, five U.S. congress members in favour of easing the embargo and its related travel restrictions are in Cuba to discuss agricultural trade and U.S.-Cuban relations.
Aaron McLear, a spokesman for the governor, said the brief stop was unusual, but not unheard of. Mr. Schwarzenegger has made no secret of his passion for cigars.
Mr. McLear would not comment on Mr. Schwarzenegger's attitude toward the U.S. embargo of Cuban goods.
"He stopped by, smoked it, nothing else. I don't know what kind of cigar it was and it's gone now," Mr. McLear said.
It's not the first time a famous American politician has stopped by to sample the cigars at this little shop. Just last year, former president Bill Clinton bought a few, said employee Tina Nguyen.
Ms. Nguyen said many of the hotel's American clients will stop in to partake of the forbidden goods. The shop is unaffiliated with the Westin Hotel where it is located
