On TeddyCare

I decided in the end that I wasn't going to say anything about the death of Teddy Kennedy. A rehash of my opinions about his political philosophies seems superfluous to the event. As for the man himself, well, I decided that it would not be fitting to speak ill of the dead. If he was truly penitent and sincere in making his peace with God, what can we do but celebrate? (And if not, well, he's got sufficient problems now that a random bloviation from Robbo isn't going to matter much.)

As to this business of grafting his name on to the effort to nationalize health care, though, it strikes me that this is one seriously expensive memorial. Why not just build him a couple pyramids like the Pharaohs? At least the country could make back some of the dosh with tourist revenues.
