Let's face it, 2009 has been a difficult year: economic distress, political disappointment, the dawn of the Josh McDaniels era.
But as the year comes to a close, the gods have granted us a token of hope and renewal. We can greet the New Year with good cheer, reassured that no matter what evils we endure, the miracle of creation will never cease to unfold its wonders for our senses. What sign of benign providence has renewed my faith in the goodness of life at the end of this annus horribilis, you ask?
It's the discovery of a photograph of John F. Kennedy on a cruise ship full of frolicking, unclothed maidens, that's what. Scandal web-sheet TMZ has obtained the photograph, which experts believe was taken during a Mediterranean cruise in August 1956. The then-Senator Kennedy was accompanied on the party ship by little brother Ted Kennedy and fellow Senator George Smathers, according to JFK biographers. The gents didn't lack for female company, as the picture makes abundantly clear. For maximum enjoyment of the photograph, try to put out of your mind the fact that while JFK was rocking the orgy boat, a pregnant Jackie was rushed to the hospital for an emergency C-section, which failed to save her still-born child.
Sometimes history is the gift that keeps on giving.
Update: Alas, Wet Dreamers, turns out the man in the photo is not JFK. Back to the impenetrable gloom of reality....
