A week of Kennedy coverage

..leaves me feeling empty, spent and terribly sad.

The bastards won. They run the show now. The Bushes, Reagans, Rumsfelds, Abrahms, Cheneys....thieves, liars, murderers. Profiteers, hypocrites, incompetents. Bush is the logical extension of Murchison. Ashcroft as Bannister. Cheney as Howard Hunt. Cowardly failures masquerading as leaders. Ignorant, souless, morally blank.

The dead of SE Asia, Central America, the Middle East and Iraq. We have those bastards (and Johnson, to some extent...) to thank.

RFK could walk with a farmer worker, quote Aeschylus, and discourse on economics or foreign policy or American history all in a minute's time.

How far we have fallen, my friends.

How far we have fallen.

in many ways they have.

A sobering reality, but we must never give up.

Remember Ted's speech in 1980. "The fight goes on......"

at the 1980 Dem Convention. Probably his greatest moment.

Imagine how proud his brothers must be of Ted - 40+ years in Congress. Enduring the consistent enmity of the Other Side.

It's no coincidence that these people seek to undo the legacy of FDR. They have an agenda which stretches back to the '30s and the pro-Nazi industrialists.

Kennedy had his faults, certainly, but this bizarre cross between Reagan and Nixon we have in the White House now makes JFK seem like the world's greatest politician.
