William R. Kenan, JUNIOR, who ROCKED the Kenan Family to being the WORLD's LARGEST PRIVATE SUPPORT OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION for over 100 YEARS, now, by his gifts and endowments to MANY universities -- especially his endowed "Kenan Chairs" (faculty positions).
>>>NOTES ABOUT WILL KENAN (as he was called):
1. Will Kenan grew up in the house at 110 Nun Street -- which had the FIRST flush toilet in Wilmington (PRAISE JESUS!!!), and where TODAY Anna Berry lives -- the woman who brought false charges against me of "Stalking", STARTED the first false claims that I am a "child molester" with the help of Wilmington Police and FAILED Wilmington REPUBLICAN Mayoral candidate: Tattoo Parlor owner Justine LaNassa (whose Internet-active associates have been the CHIEF hackers of this blog -- something I can now PROVE IN A COURT OF LAW!!!), and more recently, Anna chased Broadway actress Linda Lavin and her husband Steve Bakunas RIGHT OUT OF TOWN!!!
The ONLY time I actually MET Anna Berry was the day she showed me the downstairs of the house, claiming she wanted to rent me a room, partially in exchange for help in renovation -- something that WARMED THE COCKLES OF MY HEART, but in showing me the garage out back and its sorry condition, she somehow BLAMED ALL THAT ON LINDA LAVIN and told me she would CHASE LINDA's ASS out of Wilmington one day. I was too SHOCKED to ask why -- and her claim that it was because Linda had REFUSED to allow trucks, workmen, etc. to access the back of the garage through Linda's ownership of the CENTER of the block did NOT make logical sense to me.
2. In college at UNC Chapel Hill, Will was the first person ever to "discover" acetylene gas, a discovery that was IMMEDIATELY STOLEN by others and HUGE industry (for a time, acetylene gas was the BEST illuminate for interiors before the electric light came into play, and Union Carbide was the biggest company FOUNDED on acetylene gas). Will learned his lesson from that incident and NEVER AGAIN was so gypped by others!!!
Because of Will's developing smarts based in REALISM, Henry Flagler took a liking to him and hired him to run ALL Flagler's Florida ventures. Flagler ALWAYS credited Will Kenan with being a FAR BETTER businessman than he, Flagler, was -- and John D. Rockefeller -- the AVOWED WHITE RACIST, STRICT PROTESTANT YANKEE -- always said he wished he had HALF Henry Flagler's smarts.
Where does THAT leave the KENANS for BUSINESS ACUMEN???
3. Will Kenan HATED Wilmington's RABID RACISM and TOTALLY CLOSED-MINDED ways, and even though he built the Carolina Apartments (then the most technologically advanced apartment building in North Carolina -- DON'T look at them NOW!!!), overlooking Kenan Plaza and Kenan Fountain at Fifth and Market Streets -- both GIFTS he presented the city which were NOT appreciated AT ALL by Wilmingtonians who are FORCED to swerve slightly (but often don't because of their drug and alcohol addictions, so CONSTANTLY crash into the fountains surrounds) -- and to be FAIR, the City DID eventually place two tiny plaques on the fountain where they cannot easily be seen thanking him -- Will eventually made upstate New York his permanent home, and NEVER discussed Wilmington nor visited it again.
He preferred his agricultural experiments on his Randleigh Farms -- experiments STILL HONORED!!!
4. As was necessary in his day, Will Kenan married a very nice woman, but fathered no children. On the event of his wife's eventual death, he promptly set up a "domestic partnership" with his LIFELONG DEVOTED MALE SECRETARY, Scotty.
I TOLD y'all KENANS ARE QUEER (most of the men are at least bisexual)!!!

>>> FROM CIA/FACEBOOK:
If Obama actually nominates Jack Lew to this position, it will be a clear signal that he is STILL part of the Rahm Emanuel/Al Gore/Mayor Villaraigosa of Los Angeles-brokered deal that major US Press reported shortly before the primary season got into full swing in 2007 (or maybe late 2007): that Obama is the PERFECT Trojan Horse for the CIA/Republican Party/Episcopal Church NARCO-TRAFFICKERS in service to BIG BANKS and WALL STREET, once -- but no longer -- led by my own swastika-phillic mother, Ruth Anne (Meyer) Kenan of Raleigh, NC, previously Dick Cheney's chief liaison with the Pope in Rome -- YES I FINALLY SUCCEEDED IN PERMANENTLY FLIPPING MY MOTHER!!!
Witness how after all the SMOKE-SCREEN DRAMA, Obama gave some immediate relief to those who would have been most harmed by the "fiscal cliff" (more a little pimple come to head than anything LIFE THREATENING), and in an interview with the Rupert Murdock-owned WALL STREET JOURNAL this week, Tanning-Bed Boehner was JUBILANT!!! He knew that NO Republican could have given WALL STREET and BANKERS and UBER-RICH what Obama had HIDDEN int eh deal (in plain sight, but all were so mesmerized by the careful scripting that most STILL don't get the LONG-RANGE CONSEQUENCES): Obama actually made PERMANENT 95% of George W. Bush's TAX CUTS!!!
Hello?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Nearly ALL my intelligent(ish) Progressive friends are having OBAMA-GASMS over the crumbs Obama got for PERMANENTLY securing nearly ALL of the BANKERS, WALL STREETS, and REPUBLICANS DREAMS!!!
So what NOW, Brown Cow??? Are ya sneaking legal-aged or under-aged boys into the Oval Office like Richard M. Nixon has been DOCUMENTED by Bebe Rebozos HAND-WRITTEN letters declaring his SEXUAL LOVE for Richard M. Nixon -- and explaining how Rebozo had a secret false name for the White House staff to admit him secretly for their White House suck-and-fuck fests
>>> See for the BEGINNING of the Nixon story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/27/richard-nixon-had-gay-affair_n_1171557.html .
Americans are too blinded by FAKE CHRISTIANITY and their own HYPOCRISY to even want to BELIEVE the truth about all this which MANY can prove in Courts of Law -- and soon will do after this HOUSE OF CARDS falls, which being unreal, it must.
I refer all to my former employer, Mr. Tennessee Williams last plays: A HOUSE NOT MEANT TO STAND, which was first produced by my (now) Columbia-University Bud (and the MOST proficient of play producers of my generation), Mr. Gregory Mosher, on the stage of Chicago's Goodman Theatre in April of 1982. Many scholars have come to claim it is the BEST of Mr. Williams' plays. I don't know about that, but it MORE relevant today than it was then.
And then there is the matter of Tom's LAST play, which he never completely finished as he worked on it feverishly while I was his assistant and which had a disappointing run off- or off- off- Broadway Premiere this last year: IN MASKS OUTRAGEOUS AND AUSTERE. It is about the world's RICHEST WOMAN (and INSPIRED by one of Tom's dearest friends, Kate (Schweppe) Sharp, Moldawer, later McNamara, a Houston Socialite born and raised in Atlanta in CLOSE FRIENDSHIP with the very WEALTHIEST of my Kenan relatives -- before Thomas S. Kenan III's branch moved back to Chapel Hill area from Atlanta -- so Kate knew ALL ABOUT how the world's richest woman would live).
I will continue this discussion directly on my blog: http://scottkenan.blogspot.com/ as soon as I can get to it.

Lew: Deregulation Didn't Cause The Crisis

Jack Lew, likely the next Treasury secretary, may be a lot of things: budget maven, cool negotiator, native New Yorker, weird handwriter. But he is not a financial regulator.

You'd think that someone who enjoys movies as much as I do would give a hoot about the Oscars.

It is no reflection on you what they did. What is a reflection on you is you coming forward.
Thank You!

I had ALWAYS thought my OWN Kenan branch was BLAMELESS in the Insurrection until THIS NOTE FROM YOU brought back the TRUTH about my grandfather. Previously, I had fixated on my GREAT-grandfather Murphy Kenan's act AGAINST slavery.
Thank you, Sir, for making this all MORE REAL to me.
