When Ted Kennedy died and went to heaven (Part 2).

[denem]

He did not linger long in the mansions of glory.

Walking over the hills towards the settlements, he was greeted by the sick, the forgotten, the impoverished, and all in life who were subjects of hatred, discrimination and contempt.

For once he did not have to give a speech about injustice, tragedy and war. He said, "Blessed are the poor, theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".

RFK put a arm around his shoulder."Blessed are those who mourn" he said, "They will be comforted".

1. Too maudlin?

Oh well.

[bobbolink]

3. Certainly not.

Too truthful and reality based.

It holds up a mirror to us all.

Thank you!

4. I wonder when Mary Jo Kopechne's family will get justice.

5. The family forgave him YEARS ago, I wonder when Michael Douglas' family will see justice

since Laura ran him down in broad daylight, the day before the big dance he broke up with her to take another girl to...I wonder...

6. If only forgiveness and justice were the same thing.

8. forgiveness is the big check they write to your family...

[denem]

9. Forgiveness for a man battling alcohol, haunted by the past?

A sinner forgiven? I can imagine that.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

10. and justice is you paying the criminal penalty for your crime.

11. i sure teddy felt bad. that is what the poster above is saying. if you feel bad, and are "haunted."

we should "forgive."

it doesn't matter if you kill a human. a woman, a person. leave another to drown and die. just pay off the family and carry on.

it only matters that you feel bad.

see?


lighten up. i'm sure that mjk's face was just another of those alluded too by the first joke about teddy entering heaven here today...

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

12. Don't you have to ask for forgiveness?

[1]

13. nah. not here. only your feelings count. in the moment. a week later? lawyers...

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

14. Wow I can feel better about all the bad stuff I did then I guess.

[1]

15. true dat. and feel free to pick and choose about all those things you were taught...

you know, the "i like this one" but "that one is too hard to follow."

just like teddy!

19. roflmao, great post, though i dont get the kennedy thing either, never understood the worship of the

family as if they were royalty or something. Also as he was catholic i doubt he went straight to heaven, i reckon the guy is going to be in purgatory for a while..
