Difficult news for the Senator and the Kennedy family:
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor.
Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his left parietal lobe. Preliminary results from a biopsy of the brain identified the cause of the seizure as a malignant glioma, they said.
His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.
More on brain tumors here. I work in oncology so if Senator Kennedy is treated by our institution I’ll have to stop commenting completely.

What it means is that we will probably lose one of if not the greatest senators of our time. He is also, and it hasn’t been mentioned much, one of the greatest orators of our time. Last but not least he is also the greatest liberal of our time; second only to Jesus Christ. He not only has passion for the concerns of the common man, he also has a fire for justice in his eyes, that I’ve never seen in any elected official in my entire life.

Wish Kennedy no harm but I hope he never returns to the Senate. He is the most anti America person in the country. He makes our stauches enemies from around the world look like they are pro-America.
Maybe we can now get the wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod. Maybe amnesty can be pulled off the table. Maybe we can start drilling in our own country and off our shores for our own oil.
Be well (but not well enough to return to the Senate) so be gone Mr. Kennedy.
