Moderator’s note:This was the first real thread reporting the news today. It was locked for reasons that should be obvious to everyone by now. The Moderator who locked it is the level-headed Mod. I am the arbitrary and capricious Mod. If you choose to martyr yourself I am happy to oblige.

US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the veteran lawmaker from Massachusetts who is the last surviving brother in the legendary Kennedy family, has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, his doctors said today.

Specialists in Boston and around the country said the information released indicated that Kennedy has terminal cancer and might have only a limited time to live.

I am praying for Kennedy. Praying for a quick and merciful death. Mostly quick.

I love your tag line. It is relevatory. I’ve never thought of my soul in those terms but that is exactly right. I’m not my body, I’m my soul. Wow, that’s obvious but it took your tag line to make me see it. Thanks.

I’m so much more than happy that you got the same thing from it as I did (the first time I saw it). C.S. Lewis was a genius.

Take good care of your soul.

Symptoms are remarkably similar to my fathers - diagnosed in July, died the following March. Kennedy may not live to see a new President.

And what would the prognosis be under Hillarycare or Obamacare?

Stand in line for one to five years, then die.

My father had a melanoma (back when Senator Kennedy’s brother was President). It metastasized into the brain. He was gone within one year.

My father had brain cancer (1961 - 1962). It affected the speech center. For the last six months he could neither speak nor write. We never had a chance to say goodbye to him in a proper manner.

One of the best written true stories of glioblastoma is:

John Gunther, Death Be Not Proud (1949). Harper Perennial edition 1998: ISBN 0-06-092989-8

A must read for everyone!
