Tim Gratz Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 On a November day some 373 years ago the pope named Cardinal Richelieu Protonotary Apostolic in France. Cardinal Richelieu is known for starting the secret police. While he was dying, his chaplain asked if he forgave his enemies. Richelieu replied, "There are none left." Proving, I guess, that there is indeed nothing new under the sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, As I am sure you already know Cardinal Richelieu did for the Catholic Church, what Gregori Rasputin did for the Russian Orthodox. BTW Did you ever see "The Death of Rasputin" sketch on Saturday Night Live back in the old day's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gratz Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Robert, it sounds vaguely familiar. In its heyday, SNL had some quite amusing political satire. Chevy Chase's pratfalls probably had a lot to do with the election of Jimmy Carter! Is it true that Chevy Chase is now living in a Maryland suburb of DC?

Always felt his post-SNL career, after a pretty good start really tailed off. Lynne, If Richelieu thought he was going to be able to fool history, he certainly was proved wrong. BTW, Is it true that you only date men who don't like Jim Garrison? Edited November 28, 2005 by Robert Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a dirty old man -- and divorced [The "Ex" is out visiting right now!!] By that photo -- she looks like a Beverly Hills Babe. I sure hope that she didn't "do-a-Mellen" and submit a photo which is a few years old. You know, like the one John posted for ME !!

Lynne Foster Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 THIS ought to answer all your concerns about Jim Garrison. Was he a personal friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
