Those are characteristics that will help the body function better in the future, and there are already signs of progress, McConnell said. “A real sense of renewal is...

Elizabeth Warren, in Edward Kennedy’s seat, displaces Obama as liberals’ champion
|

The Washington Times ^
| March 29, 2015 | By Ben Wolfgang
In early 2008 liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy blessed Barack Obama’s long shot presidential campaign, declaring the freshman Illinois senator the next great progressive leader in a symbolic passing of the torch. On
Monday, Mr. Obama heads to Massachusetts to honor Kennedy, who died in 2009 — but liberals’ enthusiasm for the president has waned from those days, and the left has moved on to other champions, most notably Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who now sits in the seat Kennedy used to hold.

Paralyzed back legs didn't slow down Fozzie, a young dog from Nepal, as she scooted around Hank's Pet Food Market in Loveland recently, lapping up attention and love, sharing her excitement. "When
you look in her eyes you see she's full of life," said Zoe Katsulos with the Louisville-based inside/out Humanitourism Adventure. "This girl needs a life." That is why Kasulos and her nonprofit, with help from the owners of Hank's, brought Fozzie, who was hit by a car while living on the streets of Nepal, to Loveland, where she is currently being fostered by Kathy Brodersen.

The November 17 edition of People magazine includes a promotional article for Timothy Shriver’s new book Fully Alive, focusing on “The Forgotten Kennedy,” the lobotomized Rosemary Kennedy, sister to Jack, Bobby and Teddy. "Why are we hiding from this story?" he asked himself, according to People’s Liz O’Neil. "There's nothing to fear
here. It's a human story. It's a heroic story.” Heroically lobotomized and institutionalized? Apparently, this fiasco was “the true inspiration for his famous family’s love of service.”

When Brad and Molly Nemec’s Dodge Durango broke down in downtown Stillwater last month, they called City Hall to explain that it would be stranded overnight. The

owner of Storm, an English golden retriever, knows he’s loyal and caring, but on Sunday morning, Storm really surprised him. “Storm just plunged into the water and started swimming out to the fawn, grabbed it by the neck, and started swimming to shore,” Mark Freeley said.

Bernie Sanders at Brooklyn rally condemns John F Kennedy/Robert Kennedy
|

5 March 2019 | Vanity
CBS Morning News quoted Bernie Sanders (from a rally on the weekend in Brooklyn) that he condemned someone who had an allowance of $200,000/year. Bernie
only had 25 cents (CBS News did not give the period for the allowance). Clearly John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, being the children of Joseph Kennedy, had a very privileged life. They had tutors and were educated at Harvard. So if Bernie condemns Donald Trump, then he must also condemn the Kennedy boys and their 'spoiled' upbringing. It is unclear how much of the books Why England Slept and Profiles in Courage that John...
