    Robert F. Kennedy’s granddaughter and her eight-year-old son are missing after their kayak got blown away when they paddled into a Maryland bay to retrieve a ball
    • A mother, 40, and her young son were seen in a 'small canoe or kayak' drifting in a bay at the Columbia Beach community pier at 4.30pm
    • David McKean confirmed on Thursday that his wife, Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, and son, eight-year-old Gideon Joseph Kennedy McKean, were missing
    • McKean said the pair 'popped into a canoe to chase it down. They just got farther out than they could handle and couldn't get back in'
    • Authorities called the search off at 7.30pm on Thursday, citing darkness
    • They did, however, find the kayak, and have resumed the search on Friday

    It isn't really fair to call someone dying from something stupid a curse.

    I almost decided to drive around a train crossing 30 years ago and I would have been killed with my girlfriend.

    It would have been stupidity, not a curse. Or I was cursed WITH stupidity...whatever.

    If it was just their deaths it would be an unfair assertion. However, the Kennedy family has suffered for generations at the hands of fate. War, assasinations, plane crashes, suicides, brain tumors, boating accidents, etc...so many in the family dad at early ages one after the next. The family is cursed.

    For some. Arnold getting that maid pregnant might be the most traumatic thing any of them went through.

    Yep, my father drowned while fishing the lower Deschutes for Summer salmon and I nearly drowned in the Coos River while fishing for winter steelhead. You can't have too much respect for water.

    If you take your 8 year old child out in a canoe in choppy water WITHOUT A LIFE JACKET, you might be a Kennedy.

    The co-founder and Chairman of the Board at Tektronix, Jack Murdock, drowned while trying to swim across the Colombia. He crashed his light plane into the river and tried to make the swim so he could save the life of his secretary who was in the plane with him. Those of us who worked there at the time and knew something of his character knew him to be a hero. His secretary stayed with the floating plane and was rescued.

    I'm sure if you inspect the row boat you'll find several cigarette butts on board with Hillary's and Obama's DNA.

    Reading that they aren’t sure if it was the Cubans, the mob or if the kidnapper worked alone.
