Skull/Bones '04

Whichever candidate wins in November, our next president will be a Bonesman. If you're curious about the mysterious Yale society, BoingBoing links to a recent BBC program [RealAudio] on Skull and Bones.

Bonesman is dead people. They sit in a coffin for a while. Real strange.

I have one question. If this outfit is so secret, how come everyone knows so much about it?

[dhex]

classic illuminati misdirect, man.

besides, everyone knows that the rich don't stay rich because of their conspiracies and occult games - they stay rich because god loves them more.

I thought everything about that secret society stuff was cleared up in the movies "Skulls" I-III. Could it be... That wasn't... a documentary?

I doubt that any college secret society is up to anything more sinister than drinking beer and grabbing asses.

Actually scratch the ass-grabbing, or Bush would be sunk by now, A la Clinton. The Christian right is less forgiving about that sort of thing.

Make it drinking beer and watching porn.

Fools. Everyone knows the real conspiracy is the Jesuit lead Counter-Reformation, controlled by the Black Pope.

pseudo, it depends on whether or not you find crazy, vaguely freemasonic-style initiation rites sinister.

I count myself extremely fortunate, in view of my redneck upbringing, to have been able to put in an appearance at a university, posing as a student from 1961-1965.
Be that as it may, why does my Vanderbilt yearbook of 1965 describe Skull and Bones as an honorary pre-med society?
Judging by same heavy volume, the heavy, I mean serious, group of which to be a member was Omicron Delta Kappa?
Any ODK members here reading this?
I'm tellin' ya, those white males had gravitas even back then.
A couple even wore vests for the picture.
