Ted Kennedy 1932-2009

Ted Kennedy passed away early this morning at the age of 77 following his brave battle with brain cancer. The Massachusetts Senator's five decades in Congress made him a legend and master legislator. Known as the "Liberal Lion" Ted was like that cool uncle who was intelligent but could get good and crunk if you needed him to. Plus, he'd have your back just like he did when he threw his family's legendary named behind then-Senator Barack Obama. It was early in Obama's quest for the Presidency before everyone caught Obamamania so the stakes were especially high. I know Facebooks today will be filled with condolence quotes and the like, but we here at the Brew just want to celebrate his life, legacy and that big laugh. We'll see you on the other side Ted, R.I.P.
