Contest Directions:Create images of something that happened in the news during May 19 - 25. Here's an example of a news story that can be used:
Hillary Clinton caused waves of public anger with her RFK assassination
comments in South Dakota yesterday. When asked why she still goes on
with her campaign, when it's impossible to get an edge over Obama,
Clinton said that this campaign is far from over and added "We all
remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California."
After shock and anger reaction from the public and Obama camp
("...there's no place in this campaign for such remarks"), Clinton
issued a public apology saying that she did not imply that somebody
may try to kill Obama, but used the RFK example to show that some
campaigns may take longer than others. Whatever Mrs. Clinton implied,
these comments have severely undermined her future chances of getting
a running mate place from Obama.

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”...alrighty then. Boy them Democrats can't keep their murderous plots secret for very long.
"Last week the New York Daily News reported that Kennedy himself was looking closer to home for a successor, having told friends that Vicki should take over his Senate seat, which has been a family fiefdom for generations. It seems that even as he faces a terminal illness, Ted is determined to have a say in US politics – and keep the Kennedy name alive."
I say, Picture this: In the year 2036 newspapers will report that Ted Kennedy was again elected to the senate by the Massachusetts voters, even though he passed away many years prior.
Even with the Cryogenically frozen Head of Kennedy the democrats secure another win in the 2036 election! The democrats are excited that the majority of Mass voters are still enamored with the Kennedy legacy and don't want to run the risk of offering up a new candidate. The people are trained to vote for the Kennedy name and the party does not wish to upset the applecart, confusing the people.
Scientists are excited with their collection of democratic severed heads. The head of Kennedy is the most exciting as he continues to be re-elected each term since his body death many years ago. This gives great hope to all the other politicians currently holding office as many of them have pre-paid plans for preserving their severed heads in a cryogenic state. The paper reports that Kennedy may be dead from the neck up but he still resonates with the voters, winning landslide elections.
