Ted Kennedy succumbed to brain cancer last night. This from his wikipedia page:
Senator Ted Kennedy has worked to pursue justice and equal rights for all Americans, regardless of race, color, or creed. As an advocate for many who would not otherwise be heard, such as minority groups, his political positions on racial justice; women’s reproductive rights; gender equality; age discrimination; prejudice against immigrants; bigotry against gays and lesbians; and civil rights, has had an essential role in America. [228]He was also a big advocate for Universal Health Care, which of course he didn't live to see come to fruition. He also drunk drove into a lake killing Mary Jo Kopechne. That happened in 1969, that's probably all you'll hear about from the #1 news source for most Americans. People are stupid.
