I actually feel some pity for the camelot gang.

Their patriarch, joe kennedy, was an unethical businessman who made his fortune at the expense of others, rather that producing anything worthwhile.

His progeny have borne his curse.
It is a shame that so many others had to be affected by joe's legacy.

Wait a minute?? It is Joe Kennedy's fault that Ted Kennedy lived the life he did. And setting his cowardice and self serving nature aside, a "career" as a US Senator for over 4 decades is a curse?
I agree that it is a shame that so many (the American people)have been affected by the Kennedys.

I should clarify.
Children tend to learn things from their parents.

If they learn irresponsible behaviors, grow up with a sense of entitlement, and embrace those things, certain consequences tend to follow.
If they turn from such things, other consequences tend to follow.

Every person still has a choice.
(Ezekiel 18:14-17)

I understand that suet burns at approximately 482 degrees, so I'm sure the temperature in hell just spiked.

What a crock of shit. Thank God I never had to live up there. I can not see how 10th SFG did not Go Postal when they were at Devens.
We were just 12 miles from the NH Border. And the only music played up there was CW. Those people had an accent you had to get used to, but once you got outside of I-495, you were getting into "God's Country."

Spent 7 yearson and off at Devens - Never saw Ted out there. I heard that he did come out there one time - before my time.



Survey Results:

By the way, would you believe that there are a few negative opinions of Teddy on this forum? I took a quick survey.

Just some facts - 6
MJK - 6
Scathing Sarcasm - 20
Mild Sarcasm - 10
Go to hell & rot you F**kin Murderer (or something close) - 4 (nothing remotely sarcastic about that)
Burial issues - 5
RIP - 2 (I added the second one to my previous posting - don't think it will tilt the scale (I'm a Regan Republican), but this man is dead.

Hahahaha.


I will not mourn the death of a man with a severe lack of any character or integrity.
He's dead, we can't change that, lets move on.

Maybe not, they might come out with a new brand to capitalize on Ted's rumored over indulgence of fine spirits ....Teddy's Reserve.

A rumor......LOL! My Step Dad while at a ASHRE convention saw Ted crawl into a bar early one morning and 'demand' a drink. The Bartender refused and Ted started emphasizing every sentence with F-Bombs....Do you know who I f-ing am? Do you know who you are F-ing dealing with? I am Ted F-ing Kennedy!

The bartender said, yeah I know. Now get the f*&@ out.

Ted was a piece of work.


Oh well, Ted is answering to his Maker now and he can't buy or bully his way out this time.

I sincerely hope they went in opposite directions.

I would not wish to curse a young lady in that manner.

Teddy's Seat

Should be interesting to see what happens in Mass with the opening of Teddy's seat. Seeing as how the Dems changed the law in 2004 so that Romney could not fill Kerry's seat when he ran for POTUS. Now they want to change the rules, AGAIN, to fit their own political needs.

I wonder what the people of Mass think about all of this.
