Fine, okay, it's a blog already!

Here is a collection of some of the many tributes being given by various persons and organizations. One of them, by the AFL-CIO's John Sweeney, have been both touching and respectful of the man we have lost.

"Ted Kennedy was not just a senator for Massachusetts; he was our senator--a senator for working people, for poor people, for the old and the vulnerable. For all those who needed a champion, he was our champion. He personified a sense of aspiration that has become America's aspiration--to make things better, to make them more fair, to make our nation more compassionate and hopeful, to make life work for working men and women."
