you know its kind of odd but for the recent deaths (ie: farrah, MJ, Billy Mays and now Ted) i heard it first on Freeones. Would never have thought freeones would be my source for news but turns out its been pretty reliable.

as for Senator Kennedy, rest in peace.

 

[Friday on my mind]

The last of of the brothers passes.Teddy fought the good fight,you can only wonder if the other 3 had lived what they could have done and how different the country and world might be.

R.I.P. Teddy

Love him or despise him but no one can deny his place in history. A true statesman. RIP Senator Kennedy. I'm glad your suffering is over.

 

[Baill Inneraora]

One of the most important/influential Senators in US history.

RIP Ted, you were a strong fighter for the middleclass, and for labor.
We will truly miss you, but your legacy will live on.

I can't say I agreed with him politically, but for 47 years a lot of people did. Rest In Peace Ted.

Sad to see him go but I'm glad they didn't change the law about his Senate seat just for him.

Good riddance. I never liked him. I don't know why anybody would. I can only hope he's replaced by somebody much better, which considering it's Massachusetts, is very unlikely. For every nugget of a good idea he had he was disastrous in so many others. He also had his share of nefarious and/or suspicious incidences throughout his life.

Well, the law itself was a change in 2004. Ironically, it was Demos who made the change to prevent Romney from installing a replacement for Kerry's seat had he won the '04 Gen. Election.

Exactly. That's why I'm glad they didn't change it back now just 'cause the tables have turned.

A really great Senator who has helped everyone in this country in one way or another through his legislation. He was far from perfect as we all are but in his job he put country first. The last of the willing to cross the aisle Senators we'll see if anything gets done now.

Does this mean Arnold is now the patriarch of the family?

I was raised that you don't speak ill of the dead... so I have nothing to say.

The Brits have a monarchy! :hatsoff:

"Camelot"... ha, does anyone know how the Kennedys made their fortune?

HINT: It was illegal at the time, and ol Ted loved to drink it...

Wasn't JFK's dad a bootlegger during Prohibition?
