RIP Ted Kennedy

Shit.

A great man gone today. There are going to be beautifully written eulogies, and well-researched biographical sketches that will describe better than I ever could why he was such an important person in our history.

I'll just say that I happen to see him speak when I was in high school, and between him and the late Senator Wellstone, there could not have been two better examples for a young budding liberal in the middle of Bush Senior country to experience. He obviously will be missed.
