RIP Ted Kennedy

Senator Ted Kennedy died tonight.

I think we all knew it was coming, if not now, then in the near future, but it's still a blow.  And I hate that with all the things he accomplished in his life and career as a US senator, he died in the last months of the fight for one of his most ardent causes, without seeing it to the end. We've lost a great man and an American institution. Whatever you may think of his politics, he was a man of great integrity and convictions. I can't believe he's gone.

I hope he's in the Summerlands now, knocking back beers with Jack and Bobby and checking out the gams on the hot dead chicks. I hope he's at peace.
