Take Care, Teddy

I know he was ill and I know he was 77, but I was still surprised to hear about the death of Ted Kennedy this morning.

Despite his flaws and scandals, he did so much for the nation and for the Bay State; it's difficult to argue with that fact. The Globe has a great multimedia package online, which was originally published a few months ago-- worth checking out.

It was confirmed this afternoon that Teddy will be buried at Arlington National Cemetary with his brothers. I've been to Arlington a few times and have to say that it is incredibly moving and I think every American should visit the site.

It's a fitting final resting place for three brothers who greatly influenced our country.
