Ted Kennedy - R.I.P.
A friend of mine, Dianne, has a beautiful tribute to Ted Kennedy of her blog today. She says what needs to be said very beautifully. I figured I couldn't do any better, so please take a look here.
In spite of some flaws due to his womanizing and drinking, he was always on the side of those with few spokesmen. His wealth was used to help others, always. His father was as close to a fascist as an American could get and a terrible person, but his children all were raised to do public good. Many such families have black sheep like at least one Bush we never hear or read about that followed in his greedy grandfather’s footsteps. I admire most of the Kennedy family. They could sit and count money but choose public service. That is admirable regardless of whether we always agree with them politically.

Ted Kennedy will be missed and hard to replace.
