2. RIP Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She and Sargent Shriver were.....

two of the most under rated liberals of my lifetime. If you ever get a chance to watch the bio of Sargent Shriver on PBS, it's a must see. He was a fantastic early liberal. He currently suffers sadly from the advanced stages of Alzheimer's.

We all know what Eunice did for the Special Olympics, but what is not being reported, was her life long involvement in many humanitarian efforts.

Farewell and RIP Eunice.

4. Rest in Peace
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
