I guess my morbid post from yesterday (I hadn’t realized just how morbid those pictures were until my mother pointed it out)was appropriate after all. And apparently, my dream of US flags at half mast.
Ted Kennedy died last night at the age of 77, from a two year battle with brain cancer. It’s funny. It wasn’t the drinking, the c razy driving, the infidelity, or the numerous people who wanted him dead that got him, it was brain cancer. Something that strikes random people and can’t be prevented because it can’t be anticipated.
( More ) At the 1980 Democratic National Convention, Senator Kennedy gave what might be one of the most famous political speeches of the twentieth century. You can listen to
an audio versionOr check out some
videos of itAnd on a more up beat note, I think this is an appropriate tribute from The Muppets.
