How did Teresa get her hands on the Heinz fortune?

Teresa Heinz grew up the daughter of a rich dentist in the slave holding Portuguese territory of Mozambique. I spent some time there in Lorenzo Marques and Beira back in the 60s and have a pretty good idea of the life of the colonial Portuguese community she belonged to.

The blacks were considered Kaffirs which meant not quite human to them. I'll never forget viewing several hundred blacks shovelling urea from the deck of my ship the SS African Mercury at the dock in Lorenzo Marques. The burning sun beat down on a urea dust blurred scene of these poor souls singing there hearts out while they shovelled in unison to the haunting and powerfully primitive tune that eminated from their throats.

I must confess that the seafood was wonderful - lobster tails and shrimp in particular - and the service was superb for us white folks. My brief taste of the Colonial life - in Lorenzo Marques, Mombassa, Dar es Salam, Karachi and Bombay vividly etched in my mind the meaning of Colonialism.

Now as to the Heinz money, I've know some very rich people in my life and, without exception, rich families keep a tight fist on the family fortune. Trusts are set up so that the children get almost everything. Spouses might get a few million to tide them over but "outsiders" never get control of the fortune.

Friends of mine, in the know, assert that there has to be a major story to explain how Teresa got control of the great Heinz family fortune, and it's probably scandalous if it could ever be uncovered.

I'm sure John Heinz is turning over in his grave now, so it's probably time for someone to start digging into this mystery the results of which could change the course of American history.

She must have killed someone...because...she's a LIBERAL!!!! (run screaming into the distance, waving hands wildly)

Change the course of American history by digging some dirt? What fantasies you have! COme on adrian, where's the substance here?

Yes, Laws, ain't nothing like listening to them darkies sing! Brings a tear to your eye for Strom Thurmond's Land O' Cotton™, doesn't it?

MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.... blood of the workers....mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... It's easy to talk smack about Teresa's rich colonial daddy until your fat honkie ass gets hungry, innit?

You think the le bourgoisie portugais went out and caught them shrimps, baas?

You're a hoot, Mr. Spittle. You can't seem to tar anyone with that brush of yours without getting it all over your big moon face.

So, how did Bush Sr. get his hands on the family fortune?

Oh, right, his daddy did business with the Nazis.

It's so sad that such an education was wasted on someone as blind as you.

Now I undestand:

Rich Liberal = obviously done something bad to get the money, i mean, liberals can't run businesses well enough, and liberals inheriting money? lawdy no!

Rich Conservative = obviously a successful businessman who has done well for himself and one who inherits his daddy's money? obviously a wonderful son who should be given every oppurtunity to fail, fail some more and then elected to office

Your relativism sickens me.

Adrian Spidle,

I've wondered about this myself. I hope that, if there is a dirty little secret, it will be exposed just in time for maximum effect before the election. That woman is scarier even than Hitlery. The original Manchurian Candidate
keeps coming to mind. The look in TayRAYzuh's eye when she smells the Oval Office reminds me of the look of pure evil that Angela LKansbury conjured so well in that movie. And the plot parallels between sKerry in 'nam, TayRAYzah as his handler and the Angela Lansbury and Lawrence Harvey characters in "Candidate" are eerie to say the least.

Kerry is so corrupted by ego and lust for power that, if he isn't the paid and/or brainwashed agent of world socialism, he might as well be.

God save the United States, and the world, if he is "elected".

Um, is this the guy who walks out on press conferences when they ask questions about his business buddies? Is this the guy who's so ignorant of the English language that he can't even say a single sentence without getting flustered and making mistakes? Comparared to Bush, Kerry is a saint. Your groundless vitriol would be scary if it didn't reek of the desperation you and your ilk must be feeling at the end of Dubya's presidency, a presidency that will go down in history as the most reviled and detested, ever.

'World Socialism' WTF? Where have you been? Didn't you see the memo? We're not fighting socialists anymore it's Terraists! Jeez, you knuckle-dragger, get with the program. We're not worried about godless atheists, it's islamofascistnazis we must fear! Buy things! Use Duct Tape! Be Afraid while we destroy the country inside and out!

God save the United States, and the world, if he is "elected".

God's on Osama's side. He told me himself. And if God is pulling for Osama, I can guarantee you a Bush win. Maybe even his first.
