Is Ted Kennedy Dying?

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:36:00 GMT

Edward "Ted" Kennedy is rumored to have only weeks left in his storied and often tragic life.

Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant glioma in May of this year. It is a type of cancerous brain tumor that Kennedy opted to have surgically removed in June. The surgery was believed to be a success.

Then why is he suddenly on the cover of Globe with only weeks to live? They are reporting that his cancer is spreading. We're hoping that the publication is mistaken.

Say what you will about Ted Kennedy, but his legacy cannot be denied. Kennedy is the father to 3 children and step-father to two. He is generally considered the father figure to the thirteen collective children of his two assassinated brothers. He has many school-aged grandchildren.

Here's to your health, Mr. Kennedy.

The World Series is Over?

This is Mike Timlin and his daughter Mykala. Those other people are fanatics.

Apparently while the rest of us were picking pumpkins and watching football the Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies in the World Series. I don't think it was on TV, but you can find coverage on the internets.

Below you'll find another picture of Mike and Mykala, followed by a shot of the series-winning hitter Bobby Kielty and his daughter as they pass by the throng of said fanatics.

Congratulations, Red Sox Nation.
