ngdawg: I appreciate the clarification. The reason for wondering about your motive is because of what you described. When you know there are plenty of people out there who will and do react as reconmike has here, it's easy to mistake the intention behind asking something like "do we care."
I almost entirely agree about what you wrote in post #31. Only, I don't think the news of Ted Kennedy's health is similar to the latest Britney Spears gossip. The Senate is one of the highest elected offices in the United States, and so I think something like this is newsworthy. That is only magnified by it being Ted Kennedy - not simply because he is a Kennedy, but because he himself has been a highly influential figure in American politics for many years.
