I really don't think anyone thrills in ol Teddy's illness and death..No one misses the sadness that falls on a family when death knocks on the door . We do not respect Ted Kennedy for a variety of reasons and simply refuse to join in on the undeserved glory hallelujahs being bestowed upon this man simply because he was in the Senate far too long, ignoring the damage he has done. I hope his son Patrick J, his son who has his own checkered past, keeps a low profile..no doubt he won't.
I for one will not watch all the hoopla surrounding this man's legacy. It is just phony blathering supported by the liberal media.

As the New Democrat Left tries to establish Obamacare as “Kennedy’s lasting legacy”, recall too that “Animal Farm” began with the death of Old Major

Old Major
A prize Middle White boar is the inspiration that fuels the Rebellion in the book. He is 12 years old. According to one interpretation, he could be based upon both Karl Marx, founder of modern Marxism and the base for Communism, (in that he describes the ideal society the animals could create if the humans are overthrown) and Vladimir Lenin (in that his skull is put on revered public display, as was Lenin’s embalmed corpse). However, according to Christopher Hitchens: “the persons of Lenin and Trotsky are combined into one [i.e., Snowball], or, it might even be [...] to say, there is no Lenin at all.”
