ON AN UNHINGED NOTE
Eighty-nine years after Choate, a private boarding school in Connecticut, claimed “a man” working alone “couldn’t locate [JFK’s] sled,” there are still unanswered questions.
The definitive account of what happened to the sled is in no report produced by any commission, so here are my unsubstantiated, Oliver Stone-worthy theories:1
Anti-Catholic bias.
It’s been in the Protestant school’s storage room for 89 years.
Ted Cruz’s father stole the sled.
"Ted Cruz’s father was with ‘a man’ prior to the sled going, you know, missing," disgraced former President Donald Trump told Fox News. “And nobody even brings it up. Nobody talks about it."
It was an inside job.
The secretary felt bad about rejecting the man, so she told him to keep the sled. He died under mysterious circumstances days later, but she lived a long life with the same roommate; they’re buried in a cemetery near campus with a headstone that reads “The Best of Friends.”
