Sometimes little things matter: "Grassy Knoll"
One of the Saturday morning network shows was doing a piece on "cool electronic gadgets" as part of some back to school bit. They had a charging station. It was, basically, a box with some fake plastic grass in it. The grass hides all the cords plugged into a gang outlet inside and the devices all sit atop the grass.

It was called The Grassy Knoll.






I thought that name was already taken.

2. Is the lone gunman included
or do you have to purchase that accessory separately?

3. Ah, yes, and perhaps they could also include simulated pieces of JFK's brain...
as a "lesson" to the young in what happens to you when you grow to become president if you open backchannels to communist leaders, to get around the CIA and try to establish a basis for world peace.*

----------------------------------

*("JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters," by James Douglass. THE book on this vital topic, believe me.)

4. Those three words instantly give me a sick feeling in my stomach.
Surely, some better name could have been used.
