Senator Kennedy died after a year long fight with brain cancer only a week after attending his sisters funeral. Senator Kennedy has had a long and distinquished career in the US Senate and will be known for his battle to pass a unirversal healthcare program. His illness has prevented him from fighting the current healthcare reform. It is likely that the battle cry for healthcare reform will now be a ralling cry in his name.

RIP Ted Kennedy. I didn't always support your choices, but you gave your life to public service of this country and you deserve our thanks. Condolences to the Kennedy family

If you can bear the slime from trawling the minds of the extreme-extreme right, truck over to michellemalkin.com and read some of the comments there. If that doesn't firstly put you off your food, or just enrage you as to how damn self-righteous that rifle,race, and religion crowd is, then I think you need to get yourself checked. Disgusting.

Thanks for your recommendations My life during the summers was spent in Hyannis. Our family was both involved with this family as many testimonials were held at our families restrurant and in politics during all of their campaigns as well. Wether you agaree with his politics or not, he fought for the small guy.
