Senator Ted Kennedy lost his battle to brain cancer late last night in the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, after serving closed to 47 years in the US senate. The youngest of Joe and Rose Kennedy’s children and the brother of JFK was influential in legislating in favor of civil rights, healthcare and education reforms to help the less fortunate, as well as defending workers’ rights. Although he is a national icon, he has a special place in the hearts of us, massachussetts’ residents. Mr senator, your work, but mostly yourself will be truly missed! RIP

Recent Bombings in Jakarta. The video is from the local television and not subbed or dubbed. It’s sad. The Ritz-Carlton and 5 minutes later the Marriott experienced blasts. So far at least 9 people are dead and at least 36 injured, according to local police and hospitals. In a country were the majority of the population is Muslim, did this really have to happen on a Friday (the most sacred of the week days in Islam)?

Hey gotta admit, it’s a pretty good look. African Americans rule in Air Force 1, enough said!

This incident happened in 1984 and might have sent MJ, then 26 years old, down a spiral of plastic surgery and drug abuse. Well, i guess we’ll never know now, but RIP Michael!
