14. Tweety will speak about Shriver's influence on his life
in a mo - he just had Andrea Mitchell on discussing is life with some video.

Funny how Democrats deal with Alzheimers versus the Michael Reagans of this planet. Maria Kennedy-Shriver was so open about the subject - she tried to change attitudes. Reagan wants to hide the truth from America and even attacks his brother.

5. I just got this biography on him a couple of months ago.
http://www.amazon.com/Sarge-Life-Times-Sargent-Shriver/dp/1588341275/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1295387047&sr=1-1

It's a long ass book and I'm a slow reader. But I can't wait to get to it.

7. That whole generation of the Kennedy family is going. It's sad because they made the US better.
