#1 I told my wife to turn off the sound at least when the local news came on about this character. It would not help the Feng shui of the room, as that character was one giant dirigible of negative qi.

#2 Even those who dislike him have to admit that his death brings an end to an era of Kennedy influence, that dates to the 'thirties.

#5 Wouldn't surprise me if the 'grieving' widow runs for public office soon. Has there been a more parasitic family in recent history?

#6 Maybe it's a big deal to some liberal baby boomers, and the older generation. But for anyone born after the mid-60's, not so much. (Especially if they never lived in Massachusetts and/or DC.)

#7 There was a tribute? For HIM?

He was a bum, and was booed by the student body at Harvard when he made a speech stumping for POTUS. The speech was made to a large class that was not permitted to leave their seats after the lecture was finished, the students serving as a ready-made large (captive) audience.

It did not go well.

#8 Well, of course nobody watched it--they showed it opposite a rerun of Criminal Minds and a Mythbusters marathon and the Operation Repo episode where the Renaissance Faire guys use their swords to defend their Prius from the tow truck.*

*I did not make that one up.

#11 You're correct joe, cause Teddy certainly was into a lot of women.

#12 I had to change the batteries in my TV remote several times since poor old Ted passed on.
