  Fitzgerald - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
His younger son Maurice "Ftz Thomas," 4th earl (1331-1390), was frequently appointed justiciar, and was great-grandfather of Thomas, the 7th earl (1427-1477), who between 1455 and 1475 was repeatedly in charge of the government of Ireland as "deputy," and who founded the "brotherhood of St George" for the defence of the English Pale.
The history of the earls after the Restoration was uneventful, save for the re-acquisition in 1739 of Carton, which thenceforth became the seat of the family, until James the 10th earl (1722-1773), who obtained a viscounty of Great Britain in 1747, built Leinster House in Dublin, and formed a powerful party in the Irish parliament.
Yet Tiptoft, who superseded him, procured his attainder with that of the earl of Kildare, on the charge of alliance with the Irish, and he was beheaded on the 14th of February 1468, his followers in Munster avenging his death by invading the Pale.

 WorldNetDaily: Kerry's non-honorable discharge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge, he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.
Kerry's oh-so-clever handlers evidently depended on the ignorance of the public and the press about military records when they posted his 1978 "Honorable Discharge from the Reserves" on his site as part of a carefully selected partial release of his Navy records (the Navy says it is still withholding about 100 records).
Kerry could have received a dishonorable discharge, but that would have required a court martial and a felony conviction that might be harder to conceal, so the undesirable discharge is more likely.

The Kerry camp contended that Dr. Letson was lying in his affidavit when he claimed that Kerry’s wound was superficial and that the shrapnel was removed with tweezers, the injury requiring no more medical treatment than the application of topical antiseptic and a band-aid.
Kerry’s camp continues to stonewall on the release of primary documents regarding his military records, despite extensive selective access he has given to writers known to be favorable or to the publication of documents on his website.
John Kerry in that April 1971 testimony asked his most memorable public question: “How do you ask a man to be the last to die for a mistake?” But we know many comrades who died there who would count the trade of their lives for freedom as a fair bargain.

 George W Kerry?
That will leave Kerry with a choice of relying on George W Bush's anglosphere-heavy coalition, now strengthened by the Australian prime minister, John Howard's, recent election victory, which has left Howard (along with Tony Blair) far more important to US relations, and world events, than France and Germany anyway.
Also like Kerry, LBJ seemed anxious to demonstrate his manliness in a variety of settings - with LBJ it was cowboy hats, sexual braggadocio, loud cursing, and constant flaunting of his Silver Star, while with Kerry it's motorcycles, electric guitars, and, er, constant flaunting of his Silver Star.
Kerry's big problem is that all of these scenarios are plausible, because his approach has been so unfocused that nobody knows where he'll come down in the end.

 AlterNet: Why Kerry Needs Clinton
With the arguable exceptions of Howard Dean, and occasionally John Edwards, during the Democratic primaries, Kerry and the other white contenders were virtually mute on issues such as criminal justice system reform, failing inner-city public schools, racial profiling, affirmative action, and the gaping disparities in the racially-marred drug enforcement policy.
Still, even though many fls are scared stiff of a Bush return presidency, and Kerry is assured the ritual endorsement of fl Democrat officials, his campaign has so far ignited no spark among fl voters.
If large numbers of fls again stay away from the polls in droves, out of anger, frustration and disgust at the Democrat's perceived indifference to their interests, this could be the political kiss of death for Kerry.
