Moderators 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.

Mary Jo’s family are all dead. She was an only child. Her father died Dec of 2003 and her mother died Dec 2007.
Jim Robinson is in my prayers.
As long as Senator Kennedy endorses abortion, I fear for his soul, and pray that he might repent -- as we are all sinners.
Let those who might possibly gloat on this sad situation for the Kennedy's be reminded that the founder of Freerepublic is quite ill.
Please put personal stuff aside and may the Admin's penalize hard anyone who tries to gloat on the sad condition...
I am not sure how can attend to business in the Senate if his condition is serious... It might be best for the Senator to take a leave of absence or resign, and attend to his health...
Best wishes to you, Mr. Kennedy.
Then get your own forum going.
In this one, if we don’t follow the rules someone enforces them.
ROFLMAO
Thanks for your thankless work on threads like this.
Prayers for the Kennedy family, we don’t have to agree with people to wish them well.
“Melanoma is a skin cancer that spreads if it is let go.It has nothing to do with cell phones.”
The article said it was a malignant glioma. Malignant gliomas are a type of brain cancer. What am I missing?
Collateral damage? ;O)
I actually liked him recently when he took on the CLINTONS
As far as I can gather, innocent bystander. I’ll ask the Mod when he comes back on.
Well, all I can say is, is that at least he has time to think about his death and what death means. Mary Jo had no such chance.
Prayers for him and his family — all politics aside.
I agree with those who say “may he have a long and peaceful retirement.”
will he go to Canada for their superior health care system?
Seriously. I second that.
On both counts.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Teddy and family.
Teddy kick this cancer’s ass... you’ve sure kicked ours for decades.
Prayers lifted for the Senator and his family. May God provide peace and comfort.
Blessings,

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
How do you carch this early if the first symptom is a seizure?
Mark my words his wife will eventually take his Senate sear.
Fingers crossed.
Amen....
The Kennedy’s, as a family, have certainly given the full measure of devotion to this country.
No question... I hate their politics. But, I respect, and admire the passion they bring.
In all of my life, I will never hear a more moving speech than that given by Ted, at Bobby’s funeral. For that alone, I will always respect the man.
