I thought I'd say a few words.

Even though he had a few rough spots in his history, and was often the butt of jokes, the Democratic party has today lost one of its lions. I cannot imagine any person in the US qualified to follow him. It is an especially close loss for me, because American education has lost one of its most ferocious proponents in government.

Rest in peace.

The end of a political dynasty. RIP.

Eddie Teach

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Caliga

RIP.

I've never been a fan (though I did vote for him  :blush: ), but he's gonna be sorely missed, at least in Mass. where his cult of personality has been the strongest.

Not completely.

Do you think someone of the next generation will have such high functions in politics?

Obviously not.

Now if only Byrd would kindly drop dead, they could start making some progress on health care legislation.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
