Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy has died. He was 77.
UPDATE: I suppose I could follow the lead of many other bloggers and go on ad nauseum about the passing of the "Lion of the Senate", but there are far more fitting tributes out there than I could possibly write.
While I did not often agree with the senior Senator from Massachusetts, I did not dislike him. There were times when he rightly earned his sobriquet, being able to hammer out compromises between Democrats and Republicans. He was far more adept at that than just about any other member of the Senate.
