As I'm sure most of you saw on the news, Sen. Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant glioma this weekend.
Why am I writing about this, you ask? Well, I could generally care less about day-to-day politics since nothing ever happens anyways. They talk a lot and put off voting, call it an early afternoon and go golfing. But in a twisted way, this is actually kind of exciting.
Unless your name is Jennifer, you probably have noooooo idea what the whole glioma thing means. To be blunt, Ted is a dead man. But he's 76 so I think its not all that tragic. Anyways...
This diagnosis obviously sucks for Ted but its freaking awesome for gliomas! Two days ago, most people would have been like "huh?! glio-what?" But now that's all we get to learn about on the news. The equals awareness, baby! Which, in turn, generally leads to money and research. Oh yeah.
Also, Ted's got deep pockets, both privately and with all the money he and his buddies in Washington control. Thats gotta be good for something, right?
