RIP, Dear Senator

For all his faults, the poor, the disabled, the uninsured, single mothers, and oppressed minorities of the US lost one of their most dedicated and unarguably their most effective champion last night. I just hope we can do his memory justice by finally realizing his dream of universal health care that he spent his last forty years fighting for. In spite of the long shadows cast by his elder brothers, Ted Kennedy's innumerable achievements fighting for those marginalized by society during his 46 years in the Senate have no equal. Rest in peace, Senator Kennedy. We'll do our best to make sure the dream shall never die.
