I’m reminded of serial killers getting marriage proposals on death row. “And I’m still not getting laid” - Bill Hicks
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

I really enjoyed that. The real winner tonight was showbusiness.

Amazing to see this again. Most of the jokes flew over my head the first time I saw it.
Anyone enjoying the current re-runs of vintage Call My Bluff on BBC Four might like to check out the show's cameo appearance ten minutes into this barking mad NF Simpson parody. I remember watching this in 1973 and being flabbergasted.

For Black Friday I’m putting my prices up slightly to cover the cost of ink, paper and postage which have all gone up. The paper I use, for instance, was £54 for 24 sheets, now it’s £63. marswasrubbish.etsy.com
