I thought this was pretty funny. Its from a few years back:
Aides to Senator Edward M Kennedy (D-Mass) revealed this afternoon. That the titular head of the Kennedy dynasty is “exploring a number of intriguing income opportunities” in the wake of recent public disclosure that the family fortune is insufficient to provide adequate income for the aging Democratic statesman to continue living “in the manner to which he has been accustomed all his life.”
While no specific financial details regarding the greatly diminished wealth of the closely knit clan were revealed, this much is acknowledged by informed sources:
The scandalously explosive growth in the descendents of family patriarch Joe Kennedy is approaching third world proportions resulting in meager per capita income distributions.
Capital withdrawals for numerous family members’ legal fees and countless out-of-court settlements have seriously depleted the corpus of the fabled fortune.
Unabashedly lavish life styles of many family members have been sustained by imprudent withdrawals of capital from the family dower.
By and large, the current Kennedy generation is unemployable. Reared with an epic sense of entitlement, most cousins confuse the Kennedy name for a job skill.
Nevertheless, the éminence grise of America’s reigning political family seems determined to take corrective financial matters into his own hands and perhaps, by example, to inspire his innumerable nieces and nephews by his entrepreneurial stewardship.
Heeding the advice of close friends, Kennedy turned first to what he knows best as possible avenues of income enhancement. Although initially tempting, bartending was ruled out “for a number of reasons,” according to an aide.
In light of his life-long passion for the sea, Kennedy next pondered a position as a crew member on one of the many seafaring sailboats berthed in Hyannisport. Unfortunately, so far, the requisite trade union license has maddeningly eluded the Senator.
Despite exhaustive tutoring by some of the foremost maritime experts on the east coast, the elder Kennedy regrettably conceded that his nautical dexterity “just isn’t what it used to be.”
The most promising opportunity for Senator Kennedy to augment his relatively paltry net worth is rumored to be through a proposed joint licensing agreement with Ragdoll Productions (UK) Ltd., creators of the immensely popular children’s television program, Teletubbies©.
Preliminary plans call for the introduction on the show of a new character, TubbyTeddy®. TubbyTeddy will join his English “cousins,” Tinky, Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po in “dispensing weekly mirth and merriment to millions of children.”
Teletubbies conjoins the world of technology and young children in its imaginative format hailed by educators and parents alike. A captivating aspect of the weekly program is when the Teletubbies’ tummies become TV screens that light up and project pictures of happy children from the real world.
The program producers are particularly excited that TubbyTeddy’s tummy will light up with a big screen TV. “He’s fabulous—bigger even than two normal TV screens,” gushed executive producer Celeraic Chetwynn-Healtingham.
An additional cartoon character under consideration is “Ho”, TubbyTeddy’s American “girlfriend,” who pays him surprise late night visits.
Ms. Chetwynn-Healtingham vehemently denied industry rumors that Teletubbies is entering into a licensing agreement with Seagram Company, Ltd. to market “Party Down TubbyTeddy” dolls with zippered tummy pouches capable of storing up to a full pint of spirits.He who wears diaper knows his shit - Confucius

The Japenese should send a whaler to Hyannis & wait for Teddy to get in the water, then harpoon his fat ass.
The father did a few things & I think it explains itself about the mob:
Kennedy made huge profits from reorganizing and refinancing several Hollywood studios. Film production in the U.S. was much more decentralized than it is today, with many different movie studios producing film product.
Kennedy was a prominent importer of alcoholic drinks from Canada into the USA during prohibition, and acquired a considerable fortune from this. After Prohibition ended, Kennedy consolidated an even larger fortune when his company, Somerset Importers, became the exclusive American agent for Gordon's Dry Gin and Dewar's Scotch. Anticipating the end of Prohibition, he assembled a large inventory of stock, which he later sold for a profit of millions of dollars when Prohibition was repealed in 1933.He who wears diaper knows his shit - Confucius
