Kennedy editorials

The Boston Globe.

The Atlantic.

President Obama...who will also be giving the eulogy on Saturday.

Picturesque

Does anyone else think that Robert Redford should play Teddy in a movie (maybe with some prosthetic jowls)? Calling Oliver Stone...

Pictoral Eulogy

*The three larger pictures are from TedKennedy.org.
The smaller picture of young Teddy should be cited to todayinah.co.uk.
The smaller pic of the Kennedy brothers is from the JFK Library.
The last small picture - I don't know, so no citation. My apologies to the photographer.

Melancholy

It's a sad day

Senator Teddy Kennedy passed away last night. So sad....

It's rainy and gloomy out and fits my mood perfectly. I knew last week when he appealed to the Mass legislature to change the laws to appoint his successor more quickly that things weren't good -- and that he couldn't attend his sister's funeral last week.

I wish he could've held on to vote this fall (hopefully) on the healthcare bill. I wish he would've lived to see it pass. Maybe this will light a fire, so to speak, under the Pres and Dems to knock some heads and get something done.

And I hope if the bill that passes is true reform, that it has his name.

Remember when the other side is losing their shit it means you're winning.

Death Wish

If the GOP is really in it's final death throws, can I be on the "death panel" that votes to pull the plug? So much for bipartisanship! Here is Krugman's take (I've been liking him this week - that kind of scares me).

Please?
