Condolences to Joe Biden, his son passed away of brain cancer last night. His wife and daughter I believe were killed in a car crash in the 70's. One of many struggles like in the Kennedy family.
RIP
I hope, on a side note, that John Kerry recovers from his bicycle crash in Sweden.

President Obama on the passing of Beau Biden
A Statement From The White House About The Biden Family...
"Michelle and I are grieving tonight. Beau Biden was a friend of ours. His beloved family – Hallie, Natalie, and Hunter – are friends of ours. And Joe and Jill Biden are as good as friends get.
Beau took after Joe. He studied the law, like his dad, even choosing the same law school. He chased a life of public service, like his dad, serving in Iraq and as Delaware’s Attorney General. Like his dad, Beau was a good, big-hearted, devoutly Catholic and deeply faithful man, who made a difference in the lives of all he touched – and he lives on in their hearts.
But for all that Beau Biden achieved in his life, nothing made him prouder; nothing made him happier; nothing claimed a fuller focus of his love and devotion than his family.
Just like his dad.
Joe is one of the strongest men we’ve ever known. He’s as strong as they come, and nothing matters to him more than family. It’s one of the things we love about him. And it is a testament to Joe and Jill – to who they are – that Beau lived a life that was full; a life that mattered; a life that reflected their reverence for family.
The Bidens have more family than they know. In the Delaware they love. In the Senate Joe reveres. Across this country that he has served for more than forty years. And they have a family right here in the White House, where hundreds of hearts ache tonight – for Hallie, Natalie, and Hunter; for Joe and for Jill; for Beau’s brother, Hunter; his sister, Ashley, and for the entire Biden clan.
“I have believed the best of every man,” wrote the poet William Butler Yeats, “And find that to believe it is enough to make a bad man show him at his best or even a good man swing his lantern higher.”
Beau Biden believed the best of us all. For him, and for his family, we swing our lanterns higher.
Michelle and I humbly pray for the good Lord to watch over Beau Biden, and to protect and comfort his family here on Earth." —President Obama on the passing of Beau Biden

Christian Republicans and forced altruism
“Not only is taking care of the poor one of the principle roles of the local church, I believe that a Christian doesn’t have a biblical leg to stand on if they want to argue against public government assistance." Christian Republicans and forced altruism

The Insanity That Is Texas
Let me be blunt, or blunter than I’ve already been: anybody, anybody,
who believes President Obama is about to send the United Nations to
invade Texas, declare martial law, and herd Texans into FEMA Death Camps
Of Death cleverly hidden in a secret network of continent spanning
tunnels linking Wal-Marts across the nation, anybody who believes this
ridiculous howling bullshit in any way whatsoever should be darted with
powerful tranquilizers, netted from black helicopters, pumped full of
happy juice before they start eating their own feces, and installed in a
dark padded cell where the most dangerous thing they encounter each day
is a small plastic cup of institutional butterscotch pudding pushed
through a small opening in the bottom of the door with a stick.
