I can see it now on the news, the media is going to go bonkers with reports on Epilepsy and seizures. Over report and make everyone paranoid!!! That is my prediction.
The only reason that I say this is because, the two main females in my life have seizures and Epilepsy. It can be controlled, the only thing is Ted is not going to be able to drive for 6 months to one year depending on Mass. vehicular laws.  |

Could be I did hear that some years back Ted tried to get some of his female staff members to carpool with him but they all declined. something about the words car and pool in the same sentence. |

| Jokes about a 76-year-old icon suffering a seizure (and maybe worse at the time they were made) are disgusting and shameful. May you and your loved ones never have to experience a similar event and its ensuing aftermath. |

I have experienced what the family is experiencing and sometimes a sense of humor is what is needed to deal with such things. Albeit, he is a public figure that has had a past that is very questionable and malignancy is nothing that you want to mess around with.
What they are probably deciding on right now is the following:
1. How to get it from metastasizing to other parts of the brain tissue.
2. What are the odds of it getting bigger and whether or not they will do brain surgery or other methods to lessen the growth.
3. Deciding what meds are going to be beneficial depending on what part of the brain is effected.
4. Was his behavior effected, then maybe some SSRI's may be needed to help thwart any emotional outbursts if it is effecting certain parts of the brain. Other meds for vertigo, etc.
He's lucky that he had a seizure actually to go along with the tumor. Sometimes there are no symptoms other than ringing in the ears or visual changes or changes in frequency of headaches. He has more doctors at his disposal than the average joe will ever have. |

Mary Jos grave marker aint no joke now or when it happened. Nobodys wishing ill to happen to Teddy but history is what it is. Im sure everyone on the forum has lost a loved one or parent whos past was not "discusting and shameful" like Teddys. He may be an "Icon" to you but their are many who would disagree with that. That said I hope he does not suffer with the horrible disease he has contracted. |

THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW
May 23, 2008
God Bless Ted Kennedy
By Cal Thomas
These days, people on "one side" of the political spectrum
are not supposed to cooperate, much less have a personal
relationship with anyone on the "other side." Siding with
"the enemy" can get you branded a compromiser, a sellout,
or fool. While it is true that on too many occasions,
conservatives have had their ideological pockets picked by
liberals whose favor they curried, that is no excuse for
hating people because of their political beliefs.
In the case of my 25-year relationship with Sen. Edward
Kennedy, our ideological pockets have remained secure,
but our friendship has been something I have treasured.
It began in 1983 when I received a call from a Washington
Post reporter. I was working for the Moral Majority at the
time and a computer had spit out a membership card for Sen.
Kennedy and then inadvertently sent it to him. The reporter
asked if I wanted the card back. "No," I said. "We don't
believe anyone is beyond redemption. In fact, I hope Sen.
Kennedy comes and speaks at Liberty Baptist College (now
Liberty University)," the school founded by the late Jerry
Falwell.
A few days later, I received a call from Kennedy's chief
of staff. "The senator accepts your invitation." I was
stunned and so was Falwell, but Kennedy came and was well
received. He spoke on faith, truth and tolerance and his
remarks are as relevant today as they were when he uttered
them.
While some might disagree on the way he applies such
notions to the liberal policies in which he believes;
few would contest most of the principles he articulated
that night.
Kennedy said: "I am an American and a Catholic; I love
my country and treasure my faith. But I do not assume
that my conception of patriotism or policy is invariably
correct, or that my convictions about religion should
command any greater respect than any other faith in this
pluralistic society."
What student or advocate of the First Amendment would
disagree with that? Is that not what the Founders had
in mind when they prohibited a federally established
religion while simultaneously guaranteeing its free
exercise? Kennedy continued, "When people agree on public
policy, they ought to be able to work together, even
while they worship in diverse ways. For truly, we are all
yoked together as Americans, and the yoke is the happy
one of individual freedom and mutual respect."
Again, not bad. He added: "Separation of church and
state cannot mean an absolute separation between moral
principles and political power. The challenge today is
to recall the origin of the principle, to define its
purpose, and refine its application to the politics of
the present."
The issues outlined in Kennedy's speech still resonate
today, except now it is the Democratic presidential
candidates who are talking more about faith and public
policy, not the Republican candidate.
Getting to know Sen. Kennedy that night and being with him
on many subsequent occasions, helped me understand him on
a level far different from TV images and direct-mail appeals
that ask for $25 dollars to keep him from doing things that
will "ruin" America (the Left sent out similar appeals for
money to save America from my side).
I came to see Sen. Kennedy not as a symbol, but as a
fellow human being who does not get up in the morning
seeking ways to harm the country. I know of things he has
done for the poor and homeless on his own time and in his
own way without a press release or a desire for public
approval. I know of other hurts and concerns about which
I would never speak.
In our poisoned political atmosphere, there are few
friendships like this, at least few anyone can speak of
publicly for fear of political ruin. It ought to be a
privilege (it is certainly a command) for my conservative
Christian friends to pray for Sen. Kennedy that he might
be healed and restored to health. It is certainly mine
and I don't care who on "my side" knows it. |
