I think I'm actually going to miss Sen. Kennedy

First of all I haven't been a fan of Sen. Kennedy over the years, and in this last year I found myself waiting for him to die.

Now that he's gone and as I've been listening to coverage on NPR about his legacy and such I find myself respecting him more and more. I heard the following story this morning and I couldn't help but find myself respecting the man.

I find myself respecting his work ethic, even if I don't agree with everything he says. Made me sit and hope that all elected officials work as hard as him.

The other thing that amazed me about all the coverage, or the lack there of came in comparing his death to that of Michael Jackson. Sen. Kennedy did so much good for this county and what contribution did Michael Jackson give? How much coverage has been given to each of them? Why do we as Americans have our priorties so screwed up!
