What Terrible News

Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. From what I'm reading, this is a very aggressive kind of tumor, and the lifespan isn't really long - maybe 18 months to two years. Kennedy's nothing if not a fighter, but this is a tough one.

The man is a legend and has devoted his life to liberal causes, and there simply aren't that many of those people out there. The institutional memory of the Senate embodied in him is incalculable. What a blow.

It's very sad.
