Finding the Strength to Go On...
This was an actual headline at MSNBC.com this evening. Amazingly enough, this is not the most gushing tribute to the late senator from Massachusetts.
So...can I imagine life without Ted Kennedy?
As a matter of fact, I can. Tonight, I will go to bed and sleep. Tomorrow, I will wake up, consume a caffeinated beverage of some sort and go to work. After work, I will go back to my house, eat dinner, spend some time with my wife and daughters, then read and/or blog before going to bed. The next morning, the cycle will start again. As hard as it may seem for those at MSNBC to believe, the chances of me thinking of Ted Kennedy in that average day are roughly 0.0%.
This may come as a shock to those in the media engaged in the deification of Kennedy, but there are likely millions of us who manage to make it through our daily routines without thinking of Ted Kennedy.
So, life without Kennedy is going to look like...well, life.

Your restraint is admirable. I was planning to abandon my family, drive to massachusetts for the funeral, and throw myself on the casket as it is lowered into the ground, demanding to be buried with the great man.

This is begging for a Pshop--I wish I had the skills. "Imagining life without Mary Jo" "Many people were affected by the illegal activities of the senator, including staffers, waitresses, and their families."

A middling politician died. Let's face it, the dude was an asshole. If he didn't have the Kennedy name, he'd have manslaughter charges.
good riddance for Massachusetts
