Sen. Ted Kennedy died shortly before midnight Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 77.
The man known as the "liberal lion of the Senate" had fought a more than year-long battle with brain cancer, and according to his son had lived longer with the disease than his doctors expected him to.
"We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," the Kennedy family said in a statement. "He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it." -Read more...
RIP, Teddy.

Explain? I don't know much about American history.
Seven brides serve me seven sins Seven seas writhe for me From Orient gates to R'lyeh Abydos to Thessaly And Sirens sing from stern But now I cease to play For I yearn to return To woodland ferns Where Herne and his wild huntress lay ------------ Damon Salvatore: What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so wipped. Caroline Forbes: You have to read the first book first, otherwise it won't make sense. Damon Salvatore: Uh, I miss Anne Rice, she was so on it. Caroline Forbes: Hey, how come you don't sparkle? Damon Salvatore: Because I live in the real world where vampires burn in the sun. Caroline Forbes: Yeah, but you go in the sun. Damon Salvatore: I have a ring, it protects me. It's complicated." http://the-dark-gift.deviantart.com/ http://www.myspace.com/the_dark_giftxxx

In the late 60's Ted was driving her to her hotel and he drove his car off a bridge into the water. He escaped, she died. Ted left the scene and did not report the accident until after his car and her dead body were found. He lost his drivers licence for 2 months, and became senator for 40 years.

IIRC, he called it in 9 hours later. Stand-up guy right there.

Wow. So everyone wants to suck the ass of a child molester like he's God but a guy that tried to do some good for the country gets hated on because he handles a car accident wrong?
Says a lot about society today, I guess. Personally, I lament the work he was doing.

Uhh, no. First of all, I think the only thing Kennedy ever did or try to do for out country was abuse it and use it to gain more of his already extremely large dynasty power. The car accident was a prime and very blatant example of just how criminal our senators can be without any real penalty. They need to be treated justly according to laws that they themselves place on us.
