Last night the lights got dim.


Last night Ted Kennedy died. Viewed by many as more powerful than presidents, respected by liberals, moderates and conservatives and missed by all. He fought the good and just fight for every American. He won many battles. He was rich by any standard but worked tirelessly for others. Not everyone agreed with his politics, but all will agree that the world lost a great man last night. We are all diminished by his passing.
Dick Holler can add another verse to his passionate song "Abraham, Martin, and John" because as sure as I can be about anything, I am sure of this: If there is a Heaven, Ted is now walking with Abraham, Martin, Bobby and John.

We've lost one of our last great public servants. A sad day for Americans, and a sad day for those who will now lack the powerful voice that spoke for them.

I now wonder who will be up to replace him. Fill his seat? Not for a long time, but hopefully we will get another fearless liberal that also is good at crossing isles.
