Remembering Senator Ted Kennedy: Today we have a special episode about Senator Edward M. Kennedy, his career, his legacy and what his death means for not just liberals, but the US Senate generally. We also share some personal memories and reflections.

So: How did I vote in New Zealand’s stupid referendum that will cost taxpayers millions for nothing? What did I do about that fundamentalist christianist stunt? I drag out the answer because I can. So, before I answer, I have updates on a couple stories I’ve talked about in the past, including gay adoption and ending the “panic defence”. And, do I ever tell you what I think!!
After Jason’s special days, we have some final thoughts on the elevation of Sonia Sotomayor to the US Supreme Court, which is why this episode starts with the audioclip. From there it’s on to the main topic, the debate over healthcare reform, and we have another audio clip. To wrap up, Arthur has another silly story from the conservative fringe. After a couple phone messages, we’re done. Can you guess what saved our phone number for another two weeks beyond what the phone messages gave us?
