but the thought of the memorial being “Wellstoned” is of great significance here.

I will not speak ill of the dead.

Leaving pretty much nothing else to say.

I don’t want to be crase but I’m just wondering
1)How much was spent on his ‘end of life care’?
2)What % was covered by his PRIVATE health ins plan?
3)How does this compare to the average American?
4)How many Tax dollar are going to be spent on the enevatable memorial?

And as Eric said And then there’s Mary Jo Kopechne. May she rest in peace

Cao’s in a heck of a position, here, and I think that I *would* trade an explicit ban on federally funding abortions in the final bill in exchange for a Yes vote from Cao.

*Making* the Democrats have to try to openly pass FOCA is worth something.

Obama will milk this “crisis” of the Kennedy family for all it is worth and then some – with all the blessings of the Kennedys – that is what they do.

A burial at sea would be more appropriate.

Just driving in from Boston. Its wall to wall coverage.

I checked redstate this morning and boom – four Kennedy diaries in a row. I suspect it will be like this all day.

Its cool if people want to give their condolences or two cents, but I need a respite. I cant do Teddy all day and all night.

he cried on the floor of the senate when he found out Kennedy had cancer. What will the statesman from West Virginia do now?

I actually admire Senator Byrd. He’s the historian of the senate and that place is rapidly becoming equal to a NBC reality show that is vapid but has the ability to control our lives.

I would say my prayers and thoughts to the Kennedy family but who’s left on the first tier? Eunice just died.

I will say that the Kennedy’s are a timeline of the history of irish catholic americans making a place for themselves in a protestant english majority at the turn of the century. maybe that’s why kennedy was for illegal immigrant rights.

“on a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.” (zerohedge)

See ya soon.
