Kennedy Kaput

Ted Kennedy has moved on to the great beyond. Brain cancer. Not kidney failure or sex-related heart attack, the two top selections in the "How Will Ted Kennedy Die?" list I put together back in 1986.

Now Ted is reunited with his old flame Mary Jo Kopechne. How'd you like to be a fly on the wall for that happy event? Remember that Mitch Albom book the Five People You Meet in Heaven? This would be The One Person You'd Like to Avoid for Eternity if at All Possible.

You have to give Ted credit for this though: he lived longer than the average Kennedy. Had form held, Ted would've never gotten out of the car either. Until after they hauled him out, all bloated and fish-nibbled.
