We are back this week with sad tidings. Ted Kennedy died. I'm sure you know by now. But does that stoop the right from acting like assholes about it? Take a guess. But regardless, we take a moment to remind everyone in what specific ways Ted Kennedy changed the world. We owe him that much. And there are a lot of them.

Also, we do a little news roundup, and hit a few stories that might have flown under your radar. (John Edwards anyone? No? Not one taker? FINE.)
