Senator Kennedy
You probably have heard by now that Senator Edward Kennedy has an aggressive kind of brain tumor.
From
Yahoo/AP:
Sen. Edward Kennedy has cancerous brain tumor
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor Tuesday in what could be the grim final chapter in a life marked by exhilarating triumph and shattering tragedy. Some experts gave the liberal lion less than a year to live.
Doctors discovered the tumor after the 76-year-old senator and sole surviving son of America's most storied political family suffered a seizure over the weekend. The diagnosis cast a pall over Capitol Hill, where the Massachusetts Democrat has served since 1962, and came as a shock to a family all too accustomed to sudden, calamitous news.
Damn! I knew two people who died from this and it is not a nice way to go -- this is something that despite Kennedy's politics, I would not want to wish on anyone...
I do hope that Mary Jo Kopechne is waiting on the other side with a swimming pool full of salt water and a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 attached to a crane. To be done every day for a few thousand years...
