Edward Kennedy, the patriarch of the first family of Democratic politics, died Wednesday at his home in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, after a lengthy battle with brain cancer. He was 77. "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," a family statement said. "We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice." http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/26/obi...t.ted.kennedy/index.html#cnnSTCText |

I assume now the MA congress will make it so that senator replacements will happen through the govenor's office just like Teddy wanted, as opposed to by way of popular vote... like Teddy wanted in 2004 in case Kerry won." |

You know what would really suck, having 2x worse traffic getting into/through Boston and having the shitty corridor which is now becoming green space. If they hadn't done the big dig, Boston would suck more shit then it already does. (I'm not saying it was done right, but it was needed to be done 15 years earlier). |

I think they projected that Boston would be in 22 hours of gridlock by now when they started planning the big dig. Needed to be done. dreadkill said:REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!!!!! http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=62544 Burrrrrrrned! |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 26,2009 10:18am - the_reverend ""] aril, I usually agree with you on 50% of things. but this time you are wrong. The first news story I heard I thought that same thing. In the shower and on the way to the office, I heard 6-ish stories on NHPR and every single one of them mentioned it. 3 of which talked at more length about it then they did about Robert Kennedy's death. Only one of them failed to mention the name of the lady that died. So there you are wrong. One of the stories was all about how kennedy failed. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 26,2009 10:44am - arilliusbm ""] regardless of political affiliation, this man was a true american who had a strong will and stood by his belief. he was a good man, a caring family man, a loud voice in the senate, and a murderer. he fought for education rights and healthcare to no end and if anyone fails to acknowledge his efforts than you absolutely fail. even if you don't agree with his viewpoints, one should at least acknowledge the fact that he was both a loud voice in american politics, and a murderer who drank himself to sleep every night. live long an prosper our dear teddy, see you in hell |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 26,2009 11:06am - brian_dc ""] well, since I can magically still post here, I'll just add my opinion. I don't think Reagan's actions worked. The increased armament only made matters worse. I think Gorbachev and like-minded politicians did a lot more to bring an end. Reagan just played politics with it. As would any politician, to his credit. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 26,2009 11:09am - brian_dc ""] oh, and don't call me a liberal. If people piss on Orin Hatch when he dies...if he ever dies...I'll defend him the same way. Politicians are shit, but at least some of them get some good stuff done from time to time. |
