    RIP Ted Kennedy

    A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali

    I wish DDD were here to riff on good solid jokes about Kennedy. I bet he could put out five quality ones before any of us even proffered a totally <redacted> one.

      One of the lions of the Senate gone. I'm glad that at least one Kennedy son got to live to old age.

        I assume Mary Jo was waiting at the veil for him. What a joyful reunion that must have been!

          I certainly can feel bad for his family and his friends. I also can understand those who are of the same ideology feeling a great loss. I understand the media calling him the greatest Senator ever. While I certainly don't agree with the last sentence, I am in hopes those who adamantly disagree with Kennedy will give those who mourn for him their time to mourn.

          In other words, I hope Limbaugh and Hannity follow the policy the next few days of "if you can't say something nice, keep your mouth shut."


          By the way, small snide jokes I think are acceptable.

            Well they all love Christian values, so I would be surprised if they don't put those into play and pay respect to him this week. I bet Glenn Beck will represent the LDS very well and show nothing but respect.

              UPDATE: Mary Jo Kopechne just kneed him right in the groin.

                I'm sure she was, thanking him for trying to save her life.

                  Someone told me that even though Ted was in favor of renewal energy he fought against windmills within view of the Kennedy compound. Just trying to figure out whether the Kennedy's live by the rules they want everyone else to live within.
