Yeah, me too. Really hoping it's nothing.

What is even happening?
Hatch is telling msnbc that Kennedy had a seizure and appeared to be in pain but was consciou. It was Hatch's impression that Kennedy was able to communicate.
I thought I heard that Byrd took ill first, but Ben was talking to me and I'm not sure I heard right.
eta...
That's what the Washington Post is reporting. Byrd and Kennedy were at the same table. Byrd left ill, first, then Teddy's seizure began. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
CNN keeps showing footage from the luncheon with Ted Kennedy walking around shaking hands. With a big "LIVE BREAKING NEWS" graphic in the corner. It's very confusing.

Yeah, that's what KO seems to think as well. Sounds like Kennedy had a 'sode, but I hope it's just exertion and such.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
connie, I am in the same boat. Why did I think the comments at the Dallas Morning News would be anything but a bunch of bitter cynics? Did they not listen to the part of the speech that said the ground shifted under them.
The sheer number of people saying, "I hope his policies don't work" kill me. Really? I can see saying, "I'm don't think this will work and here's why." or "This hasn't worked in the past." or "This will have these unintended consequences." But hoping a plan to provide hundreds of thousands of jobs doesn't work????
WTF!?! Man!

Could someone teach Matthews some saliva-control, please. He's sounding more and more like Daffy Duck.

No kidding. Man, they're always bad.
My take on it: D'oh, I really wish the swearing-in hadn't been so jumbled. Man, Warren's kind of a blah speaker. Maybe it's part and parcel of his casual, Hawaiian-shirt-wearing deal, but it's not my beautiful pie.
Obama, on the other hand, is. Man, what a guy. I still can't believe it! I remember months ago posting about that feeling of maybe, what if... possibly... could he do it? Wouldn't that be... wow? And now... wow!
Okay, I'll stop with the verklempt. What a guy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
