I can't say much nice, so I won't say much of anything--except to acknowledge that the man lived, died, served his constituents, and was rewarded and acknowledged for that service.

Life is short. And we are all but a blink. Wealth, privilege, connections, power cannot give a person eternal life. They cannot give a person love. They cannot confer happiness. Life must be made in the moment.

P.S. Using Ted Kennedy's death to prop up horrible legislation is disgusting. Politicizing death: it's what Democrats do.
