08/26/2009: "R.I.P. Teddy"

Senator Edward Kennedy died today. A liberal torch-bearer and giant of American politics and law-making, he was reviled by many people on the right-wing of the political spectrum, but adored by most of us on the left. I hope that he was respected by all.



P.S. [Added at 9:48 p.m.] On one of the websites that I read (Alternet.org) one of the regular readers posted this:

"In a life that is littered with ironies, here's the biggest one of all: His three older brothers - Joe, Jack and Bobby - are eternally frozen in our imagination as the personifications of youth. How poignant that our final image of the baby of that family will be as an old man, frail and mortally ill."
