The Link

As the news of Ted Kennedy's brain tumor broke today, I realized I'm not ready to lose him. I'm young; I wasn't around during Camelot, or for RFK. So Teddy is my link to that time of hope and change. I'm not ready to give up that link. We need more Ted Kennedys - men and women who are unapologetically liberal and aren't afraid to take a stand, even when it isn't popular. I know he's had his problems (as have most people) but the good has far outweighed the bad.

Tonight, my thoughts are with Ted, the entire Kennedy family, and with our country, who needs this link to our past. May he live long, the Last Brother.
