R.F.K. Jr. Admits He Left a Dead Bear in Central Park

Strangely, his story is remarkably similar to not one but two stories I know of personally from my time living in Montana. A guy, or should I say a dude, finds a dead bear on the side of the road, moves it to another more populated place, thinks it's funny.

But it's stupid. Is it disqualifying stupidity? No. But is it a stupidity that's remarkably common among men, particulary (though obviously not exclusively) out West, of a certain class? Go to any bar in Big Sky or Jackson or Bozeman and you'll discover that this shit is obnoxiously common.

RFK has certainly become weird enough in the minds of most people that he’ll never be elected. What bothers me is the entitlement he’s displaying here. Sure, it might pale in comparison to Hunter Biden on the board of a Ukranian energy corporation or Trump’s, well, entire life, but c’mon. Rich people doing rich people shit isn’t charming.
