Skeeter Davis Alert™: The hidden prophecies of... JFK?!?

Publication: Sun

Date: 12 Sept. 2011



Fresh trash on Thursdays! The Sun has been known to make up prophets, like Gordon Elk L'Suk, or claim that someone made prophecies who didn't, like Mother Teresa. Now they are claiming that John F. Kennedy was clairvoyant, and his prophecies include a date in the near future. Here are the headlines.

• Predicts his exact assassination date
• Warns Jackie: don't marry Onassis
• China to attack U.S. in 2012
  
  

Well, it's wacky, but it does have a date in the foreseeable future. There have been cyber-attacks that people have claimed have come from governments, but I'm going to say JFK wouldn't know about that, and for this prophecy to be true we need an actual physical assault on American soil, American troops or American property.

Meanest story nominee: Yet another premature story about the Jackie O tapes.

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 8 August 2011

Okay, let's get the facts out of the way first. There are tapes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that have not been released to the public. According to reliable sources, Caroline Kennedy will authorize their release this September.

Now we are expected to believe the low rent Examiner has a source that will tell us what's on them. They promise a look inside her "shattered life" and the secret of who was really behind the assassination of JFK.

This is a nominee for Meanest Story of the Week.
