Senator Kennedy made a heroic return to Congress after brain surgery a few months ago to be there to vote on the Medicare Mental Health Equity Act. He is usually on the forefont of legislation that helps citizens. I am glad he was dismissed from the hospital and hope that he is resting comfortably.

After murdering a woman at Chappaquiddick, Teddy Kennedy finally is one step closer to judgment by his maker.

I cannot tell you how sad I feel that we lost Paul Newman. I just got a letter from him and his lovely wife recently. They had an Autistic family member, you know. Sen. Kennedy is a man who I hope we can keep around a long, long time. His dedication to his country, and especially to equality and justice, is needed now as much as ever. I pray along with millions of other people for Sen. Kennedy's full recovery.
