I realize that not everyone in this country is crazy about Ted Kennedy, but no one in America has worked harder to improve the lives of Americans than the old liberal lion.

agreed. the name is iconic. i have endless respect for a man who has lead his family through countless tragedies...it is incomprehensible what he has gone through in his life.

i hope the prognosis is good, from what i am reading this type of tumor typically yields anywhere from another few months to 5 years of life. i hope it is the latter and the majority of that is of high quality.

He seems to be handling this with such grace -- smiling, joking, telling his wife that he's going to sail in a race this weekend. High five, Ted!
