The Last Kennedy

A malignant Brain tumor is the diagnosis for Edward “Ted” Kennedy. Kennedy, one of the founding fathers of American Socialism, is one of, if not the most ranking member of the US Senate. Some of the highlights of his career include, education reforms, including the creation of the US Department of Education, as well as helping author and getting passed the “no child left behind act”. Both of which have had an astounding impact on the education system in this country. Kennedy is also a staunch advocate for environmental causes, repeatedly voting against drilling in ANWR, allowing for the building of new oil refineries, drilling and exploring off shore for oil, and for the development of nuclear power. (As most people know, the Kennedy’s, have been using witchcraft to power their yachts and limos for years, and have no need for reasonably priced fuel.) A simple Google search will unearth the senators other “great accomplishments” on health care, immigration, welfare, cutting taxes, and social spending.

Edward Kennedy’s legacy however will of course be the Murder of young Mary Jo Kopechne in 1969. As a drunken Kennedy drove Kopechne home from a party on Chappaquidick Island in Massachusetts, he drove his car off of a small wooden bridge and into a pond. Kennedy escaped unharmed but allowd Kopechne to die a slow agonizing death in the cold waters of Poucha Pond. Know one knows or at least no one is saying what this lady knew that was so bad she had to die.

It seems as if the sad saga of the last Kenedy brother is coming to an end. Everyone else in the Kenedy clan is either to above the fra to jump in to the bussiness politik. Or are even more moraly reprehensable then Ted (ie: Willam Kenedy Smith, Michael Skakel)

I don’t wish any ill will on the man, but Washington will smell, if just slightly, a little better with him in the ground.
