As you have all heard by now, Ted Kennedy passed away.
My running joke on this guy has been that if there was a conspiracy behind the killing of his brothers, the conspirators took a look at Teddy and said "nah, this guy is worth more to us alive, leave him alone."

So one more bad joke gets tossed out the window.

All day long all I could think about was here's an irony that would make me feel good about things.

Teddy gets to the pearly gates, Scotch and Soda in hand and as he taps the door bell to get someone's attention, there stands none other than Mary Jo Kopechne freshly installed as the chief arbiter deciding who gets in, and who goes straight to hell.

I will leave it up to you as to what her decision may have been.

CEO for the SPCA West Virginia Chapter leaves her dog in a car for 4 hours and it dies.
Now the whole story is actually quite sad, her husband put the dog in the car and didn't tell her. The dog was 16 years old blind and deaf and when she came out to the car at noon she realized it was in the car, still alive but in heat stroke. Unfortunaltely the dog was unable to be saved and died a few hours later of kidney failure.
No his name was not lucky...but some things are ironic enough it seems. My heart goes out to the dog, the owners probably need some help as well.

Dominick Dunne passed away and I must admit I have never read him. Perhaps I will find some time to see what he was about, but not today.

Why am I reporting on the deaths of so many? Well again in an irony I could never make up, it would appear that Teddy, Dominick Dunne, and Louie the dog, will probably ALL be buried before Michael Jackson, now what the hell is that saying? The Jacksons apparently announced there will be a reality show featuring them, Man I sure hope we don't see Michael propped up in a corner of the house.

I'm sure it won't happen, but I bet it was discussed.
