Ask Not What Friday Links Can Do For You

I promise a new feature next week. And my promises are worth at least as much as any political candidate's.

For now, links.

• 14 Stories You May Not Know About Robert F. Kennedy - Look, I'm pretty much your typical New York democrat, but I definitely had a good chuckle at RFK getting totally pwned by Reagan. (Mental Floss)
  
• Reagan also pwned on this recent Harris Poll, in which 25 percent of Americans named him the best president since World War II. Eat it, FDR! (UPI)
  
• Looks like JFK's having a bad week - first Vanity Fair says they think they've found his love child in Vancouver, then some new assassination plot-related documents surface. Coincidence? The alleged offspring thinks not. (Vancouver Sun)
  
• The National Archive has put together an exhibit of celebrity draft cards. Everybody from Louis Armstrong to Oscar Mayer is in here. Fun stuff.

Status Quo is Latin for "the mess we're in"

Via the American Presidents blog, which is possibly my favorite blog on the entire Intertubes: The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library can't locate or account for roughly 80% of the artifacts in its 100,000-item inventory.

There are a billion and one Reagan jokes I could make here, and they are ALL completely disrespectful and tasteless. While I am probably way more irreverent than the folks over at American Presidents, I do have to draw a line somewhere, and I think Alzheimer's jokes are well on the wrong side of that line. I'm sure the joke was much funnier as you imagined it in your head, anyway.
