very strange
YHWH remembers.
Thanks for posting this, been watching it on TV and looking for any updates.
I am no Ted Kennedy fan, but I’ll pray for him and his family.
Let’s hope all freepers show dignity and refrain from nasty or hateful comments.
Lets take this time to think deeply about all the positives this patriotic man did for the betterment of America.......... ...... .............. ......

In October, Kennedy had surgery to repair a nearly complete blockage in a major neck artery. The discovery was made during a routine examination of a decades-old back injury.
The hourlong procedure on his left carotid artery — a main supplier of blood to the face and brain — was performed at Massachusetts General. This type of operation is performed on more than 180,000 people a year to prevent a stroke.
The doctor who operated on Kennedy said at the time that surgery is reserved for those with more than 70 percent blockage, and Kennedy had "a very high-grade blockage."
On the news they are almost acting as if he has already passed. Did I miss an update?
I think Drudge is anticipating the big headline.
Matt isn’t online. He has a life too ya know ;-)
..also, though, I couldn't continue to listen to Wallace, etc, praise him for years of liberal policy.
WHY WAS THIS NOT ACCEPTABLE, Sir.?
Several years ago in Washington, D.C., I was at the corner of Connecticut Avenue and K Street heading to work one November morning. An SUV with Massachusetts tags pulled over and Ted Kennedy got out.
I've freeped Kennedy many times over the years. But this day was November 22nd, the anniversary of the assassination of his brother, John. I silently watched Kennedy walk over to a flower stand on the corner and buy a bouquet. He went unnoticed by those rushing to work that day.
After he paid for the flowers and returned to his vehicle, I walked over to the vendor and asked if he knew who his customer was. He did not. I informed him about Sen. Kennedy and told him that his flowers were most likely going to be placed at his brother's grave at Arlington National Cemetery.
There is a time and place for everything. That was not the time to freep him.
Drudge’s page doesn’t change once over some weekends.
Ok, I can’t stand it. I simply must say something.
I will NEVER say anything nice about a Kennedy or any other lib, especially Ted Kennedy.
However, I pray that he survives this with enough health to allow him to quietly retire and still have enough left to enjoy his boat....a love we both share.
I can tell you that if he’s awake, and if he’s had a stroke, that he is confused and frightened. A year ago, I survived a stroke during heart surgery...it was quite an experience. Fortunately for me, I recovered from most of it, so far.
Every family has it’s share of grief and tragedy. Why is the Kennedy family thought to be so unique in this regard?? Because theirs is public? They are no different than anyone else. Prayers for Senator Kennedy.
Please tell me that statement was sarcasim?
