Senator Ted Kennedy has died last night.  My condolences to his family.  He was the last of the 4 brothers.  2 oldest ones were genuine war heroes.  The oldest, Joe Jr., gave his life.  Now media is singing praises to Ted.  And that makes me very uncomfortable, to say the least.  You see, the rule of not speaking ill of the dead does not always apply.  I don't think it applies in this case.  No, I am not talking about politics.  Bookworm said what needed to be said.  Read it and follow her links as well.  I agree with her conclusion: the man was, "at best, immoral and, at worst, evil".
