Observations on the passing of Ted Kennedy... Wow! I've never seen so many people who don't believe in God gathered in a church before... Oh - that's right, President Obama was there to deliver the eulogy... I don't know, my two cents worth is that Kennedy was certainly worth saluting. Forget about his anachronistic politics - anybody who survived 46 years in Congress deserves a tip of the hat... and certainly it's worth noting that this is the last flicker of the whole Camelot era, so to a degree I do get the media going bonkers over his death... But that Chappaquiddick thing is another matter... If the afterlife means your tab finally comes due, I'd say Teddy is probably already washing dishes.... Only a dishonest person could not conclude that he was guilty of vehicular homicide, and yet did not even spend an hour behind bars... Now that's F'd up. Had he spent even a few weeks or months behind bars, I think the whole incident would've ultimately wound up like water under the bridge -er, oops, uh, poor choice of words... The fact that Teddy went on to throw a hissy fit when Nixon was pardoned for covering up a burglary added a few additional "zeroes" to his tab... Speaking of paying up: I've always wondered how many "Benjamins" the Kennedys paid the Kopechnes not to talk about the incident... All to preserve a f-ing political career... Amazing....

Record Number of Atheists Gather in Church To Mourn Kennedy

In Major Policy Shift, U.S. Will Now Negotiate With Centaurs
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Check. Hugo Chavez? Check. Mythical Greek man-horse? Double check! Yes, it really is a new era in America diplomacy as the Obama administration has announced plans to re-open dialogue with its long time antagonist, the centaur.... OK, OK, so it's not really a centaur in the picture on the left... it's Vladimir Putin riding a horse without a shirt on... And OK, OK, we airbrushed out the horse's head... But it was for the horse's own good. After all, that guy in South Carolina is now out on bail... You know -- the guy who kept visiting that stable late at night before finally being caught in the act (By the way, is it not the height of irony that a man who likes to do it with a horse has to visit a place called a stable in order to get his action??? But I digress...)...
