By rights, the U.S. Senate should be a businessmen's club, a bunch of rich old guys who care about little more than their stock portfolios. Luckily, there have been some remarkable people in the Senate in the last half-century, senators who really seem to care about the rights and needs of the people. Most of them are gone now, and Ted Kennedy is a part of that disappearing generation. I guess he'll be gone soon, too. He wasn't perfect, but he tried to serve the people.

God bless him.
