Ted Kennedy: Huge Wad of Human Refuse
Is there a more appalling figure on the American political stage today than the hypocritical, disgusting Ted Kennedy? To have this drunken windbag sitting on the Senate Judiciary Committee, bloviating and preening and making moral judgements of any kind is bad enough. But when he is actually listened to... when his word carries any weight at all... when this rotting whale carcass of a senator has real power, as he does... why, that's just a sad, sad commentary on the level of political and civil discourse in this country today.
All that need to be said in response to Senator Kennedy's manufactured "concern" over, for instance, the long-ago and forgotten membership of Judge Alito in some organization called the Concerned Alumni of Princeton, is three words: "Mary Jo Kopechne." It won't shut him up... it won't make him think or recant or slink away in shame, as it should. But it will serve as a reminder to everyone else, over and over again, what an enormous wad of excrement Edward Kennedy actually is.
Well, now I have no choice.
Okay, I've been meaning to get back to regular blogging for weeks now. Really. And today, January 3, I opened up State College Magazine to the back, to search first for my column, and there it was: The URL for this blog. So if you stopped by from there, welcome. I'll start posting stuff again tomorrow (Thursday.) No excuses for not having done this for awhile... I enjoy it, and it's just getting in the habit again. Besides... things are looking up. Let's just say that if 2005 wasn't the worst year of my life, it sure cracked the top five. More on that later.
Now, though, it's 8:00PM. Time for me to get to bed, because I have one more day of getting up at 3:00 AM to fill in on Morning Edition at WPSU-FM. Then it's back to my luxurious schedule of sleeping in til 4... then getting up to be there at 6AM. And I love it. Really!
Anyway, more later. Really. For now, just look through some of the old posts. And help yourself to any of the stuff in the fridge.
'nite...
