Right now, I'm too choked up to write much here.

Senator Kennedy's obituary, story of a privileged and compassion-filled life, reads like the Hollywood movie we know it will become.

Only six days ago, he wrote to the Governor of his state asking to change laws about selecting his successor if he were to die while in office (Please see story below).

Sigh.  Sigh.

He tried hard to be a good man.  And was. (NY Times story here).
