Ted Kennedy is Dead
Just caught a bulletin. Sen. Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy, one of the great liberal thinkers and actors of this or any other generation, has died of brain cancer.This is a staggering loss for a nation which seems to have a decreasing number of genuinely principled thinkers in its national leadership. We all knew it was coming soon. But the reality is no less stark for knowing that. Like his brothers before him, he will leave a large hole in the fabric that is America.
