Ted Kennedy, who has probably sucker punched the Grim Reaper more times than John McCain has houses, is dead.
"Edward M. Kennedy, the husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle we loved so deeply, died late Tuesday night at home in Hyannis Port (Massachusetts)," the Kennedy family said in a statement.
One of the most influential and longest-serving senators in U.S. history -- a liberal standard-bearer who was also known as a consummate congressional dealmaker -- Kennedy had been battling brain cancer, which was diagnosed in May 2008.
"We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," the family statement said.
"He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it. He always believed that our best days were still ahead, but it's hard to imagine any of them without him," the family added.
His death marked the twilight of a political dynasty and dealt a blow to Democrats as they seek to answer President Barack Obama's call for an overhaul of the healthcare system. Kennedy had made healthcare reform his signature cause.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said in a statement the Kennedy family and Senate "have together lost our patriarch."
Farewell you wonderful, bloated man.

Hey look, my thread is easier to find.
I regret nothing. If people don't want duplicate threads, they'd have titles that had anything to do with the subject.
Hey look, you're being pissy over nothing.

I've got a feeling that most people around here like him because he pissed off republicans more than for anything he actually did
I mean not that everybody feels that way of course but I'm sure that's a big part of it
I did think that they were hitting you over the head a bit when a lady complained that prawns would check the brand of sneakers you were wearing, and then kill you for them.

it was the best place I could think of for it.
She says 'it was alright'. But we only paid $5 for that too, so any disappointment with it may have been lessened.
This reminds me that I really need to play Mass Effect.

's code for "good ol' boy"
but this isn't really the time considering we've had years to bring that up previous to his death I suppose

I'll take that $50.
It'll be nice to have some spending money at PAX.

The last locked thread
I sat near two different people reading Glenn Beck's books and trying to discuss them flying to California last week
One of the men was French
I have a feeling someone will try to put Obama's vacation and Ted Kennedy's death together and toss in the health care issues for fun
Yeah, I mean, good dude, and it's sad to see him go.
But folks are acting shocked like there weren't already three other times when we thought he was going to die the next day.
Really, if you approached me asking for money I'd likely verbally abuse you and if you were still persistent, I'd just palm-strike your nose
