Instant gratification takes too long.

Please, don't send me friendship requests without asking me first. I'd appreciate it. Muchly.

In forty years in the Senate, he accomplished nothing. He raised the minimum wage in 1981, and opened the floodgates for illegal immigration. That's about it. What a resume.

His MO in Washington: A blond in every pond

He was expelled twice from Harvard for cheating - once when he was caught cheating on a test, and once when he paid another student to take a test for him.

He once was caught driving 90 mph in a residential neighborhood, drunk, in Virginia, but his dad got him out of any problems

He got 4 reckless driving citations during grad school

While Mary Jo was drowning, he went back to the party, then walked to a hotel and went to sleep

Again, nothing accomplished in the Senate over 40 years.

Buy bye, Teddy.

I get enough of that RedSox superiority back home... turns out it was all a fraud... shocker. It's Massachusetts, by the way, AKA The Cradle of Liberty.

Yup. Always pissed off.

Agreed.

I was moved to tears on several occasions.

Now Ted is dead Orrin Hatch should not seek another term now that he's lost his best friend in the Senate. Orrin has always been envious of the construct of the "Kennedy Clan." He's seemed almost star struck with them.

  • Virginity is short, but fellatio can last a long, long time.
  • Some people are like a Slinky; they aren't good for anything, but they make you smile when you push them down the stairs.
  • Isn't life beautiful? Isn't life gay? Isn't life the perfect way to spend the time of day? (hurl!)

Don't worry... when you die, we promise not to obsess over it to such extreme levels.*

*Patiently waiting for someone to try and claim that this was a death threat. The intelligence level of some people is so low, you can just sense the rhetorical spin a mile away.

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding, it is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick-self therefore trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility." - Khalil Gibran (1883–1931)

"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

While Kennedy managed to swim free, she was trapped inside. Shamefully, inexplicably, Kennedy did not raise the alarm. He waited until the next day before contacting the cops.

Mary Jo is believed to have survived for some time in an air bubble. She could have been saved?


But Kennedy was more concerned about saving his own reputation. For hours he did nothing.

Fox news, hardly his support group noted his name was on 535 bills between 1973 and 2009, including family leave act, MLK holiday, the disability act. He was critical in the passage of the 64 civil rights act.


There are many more, but I am too tired, I will post them tomorrow.

when you die asshole, you will be remembered for about 5 minutes, he will be remembered for 200 years.

I'm a great admirer of John and Bobby Kennedy but this guy really was the dud out of that brood.

Even Eunice eclipsed him.
