*****.......In 1965, when he pushed the Hart-Celler immigration-reform bill, Kennedy told us our cities would not be flooded with millions of immigrants. While the ethnic mix of Hyannis hasn't changed much, perhaps he should take a ride over the bridge to visit the real world. Bayville ***** ...... I will not support any presidential candidate who supports this pending legislation. Sun City, Ariz. ***** .....Why can't America do better than elect these obscene Congress critters we are plagued with? They are more interested in gaining votes and political power than in protecting America......Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Kennedy aren't looking...

Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy advised her sister-in-law, Joan, to stop being a doormat for her philandering hubby, Ted Kennedy - and if he didn’t shape up, to move out, according to letters up for auction tomorrow in Connecticut. “This is the 20th century - not the 19th - where the little woman stayed home on a pedestal with the kids and her rosary,†Jackie wrote in an undated four-page note to the senator’s wife and miserable mother of three. “Your life matters - as much as him - you love him - but you can’t destroy yourself.†The hand-written...

"T.R.? He's No T.R." Thus, in last Sunday's New York Times, began the latest round of mockery about one of President Bush's increasingly far-fetched historical comparisons. The editorial excoriated the environmental record of the wilderness-drilling, Halliburton-coddling second Bush, who, the paper argued, was no match for the wildlife-loving, trust-busting first Roosevelt.

Note: today is the anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt (born October 27, 1858). In a time when Eliot Spitzer is likely to become the next governor of New York, and Hillary Clinton is likely to be re-elected to be its Senator, it's worth remembering this great New Yorker of the past for the purposes of comparison. Here are some of his most famous quotes. - Ivan There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have...

The New York Times Co. reeled yesterday from a 39 percent drop in profits as it came under a surprise attack from liberal politicians for gutting and damaging its sister Boston Globe...... pressure mounted on chief Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger to plug a drain of newspaper ad dollars being steadily siphoned away by the Internet. The profits bomb came as Sulzberger got scolded yesterday by a group of prominent politicians and business leaders in Boston, led by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), claiming Sulzberger and his team have committed a "terrible shame" by gutting the paper since acquiring it in 1993. In...

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the...

Generally, when someone makes a teddy bear-themed gadget, his/her intention is to overwhelm bystanders with cuteness. But whoever created this little guy, whose head has to be removed in order to access the internal USB drive, must have watched one too many Tim Burton movies. No word on how much it holds or if there are any plans to make these available for purchase, but with your own bear, a thumb drive, some thread and a closet full of skeletons, you can probably make your own without too much effort.

“A vote for this amendment is a vote for bigotry, pure and simple.” Thus spoke Sen. Ted Kennedy in reference to the Marriage Protection Amendment being debated in the Senate today. One cannot help but wonder what His Eminence Sean Patrick Cardinal O’Malley of Boston thinks of Sen. Kennedy’s thunderous pontificating. Cardinal O’Malley, along with all seven other U.S. Catholic cardinals, signed a statement on behalf of the Religious Coalition for Marriage supporting the amendment and urging the Senate to pass the measure along to the states for ratification. Presumably, by Sen. Kennedy’s lights, Cardinal O’Malley and the three score...

...A group of 69 [Mass.] state legislators, ...earlier this month signed a letter to Congress opposing a Kennedy-backed amendment that would grant Governor Mitt Romney unilateral authority to kill the electricity-generating wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound. Kennedy's effort to sink the project with an amendment tacked on to a pending Coast Guard authorization bill has met with opposition from fellow Democrats in Congress and drawn the wrath of his usual allies in the environmental movement. But the heavy weather now coming at him at home highlights just what a raw nerve Kennedy has hit with his stand. ``We've listened...

Washington, D.C. -- This evening, Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement in response to President Bush's immigration address: "I commend the President for his courage in calling the nation's attention to the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform that includes providing a path to citizenship for those who are here. We are at a critical moment in this debate and his leadership is essential as we fight to fix our broken system once and for all. In reality, this debate is much larger and far reaching than the issue of immigration alone. It is about our national security...

At the newscast at the top of the hour, George Weber reported that Teddy Kennedy has cancelled a scheduled book reading for schoolchildren in Brooklyn, NY, where he was to read his A Dogs Eye View of DC because of extensive media interest. Weber closed the segment by noting that the name of the Senator's dog was named "Splash"...

Fans of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy have long argued that he has fought the good fight ... But today, he is defending the indefensible: special interest legislation, tucked into a Coast Guard authorization bill, that would give Gov. Mitt Romney the power to veto the proposed Cape Wind energy project, even though it would be in federal waters. The project... more than five miles offshore of Cape Cod. The equivalent of burning 113 million barrels of oil per year. Proponents of Cape Wind say it is an important source of alternative, renewable energy, and it has the backing of such...
