26. At warp speed with some nitro blown in.

Wed Nov 15, 2017, 11:01 PM

Nov 2017

JFK's death begat LBJ. LBJ begat the phony Gulf of Tonkin Incident and the Vietnam conflict escalated. Vietnam begat chaos, the draft, protests and the "establishment." Chaos killed MLK, Jr. and RFK. Their deaths and the "establishment" begat Richard Nixon. Nixon begat more war, Watergate, high crimes and misdemeanors, and Gerald Ford. Nixon/Ford begat shortages of energy, meat and gasoline and Jimmy Carter. Carter gets nailed with the Iranian Hostage crisis, which begat Ronald Reagan.

It starts to speed up so fast at this point that it'll be one big run-on sentence. I'll spare you (and me).
