He ended his oration with: ”As he (Robert) said many times, in many parts of this nation … ’Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not’.”
It wasn’t until years later that The Magpie discovered even that noble (and most apt) sentiment was not Robert’s words as implied, but were plagiarised by both brothers, with no attribution to its real author, George Bernard Shaw, who coined the phrase in Back to Methuselah in 1918.
The Kennedys indeed leave a confused and questionable legacy to the American Dream which, courtesy of George W Bush and his thuggish crew, is slowly drifting into a nightmare.
In other matters, another world political leader has featured in the best British headline of the year, in The Times of London: ‘Berlusconi Ruined My Reputation, Says Prostitute‘. Aww, the poor dear.

WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Edward Kennedy has been laid to rest alongside slain brothers John and Robert at Arlington National Cemetery.

So did other political leaders of their generation, from François Mitterrand to Willy Brandt. Bill Clinton must sometimes have wished he had been born 30 years earlier, and to the kind of inherited wealth that used to buy immunity. It goes without saying that one of his biggest supporters, as his lies about Monica Lewinsky began to unravel, was Ted Kennedy.
Generations of elite men took it for granted that power bestowed sexual privileges. Silvio Berlusconi is still doing it, allegedly paying for sex at sleazy parties, but he’s turned himself into a laughing stock and his wife certainly isn’t suffering in silence. I’m not arguing for puritanism in politics, for senators and MPs sticking to their wives (or husbands or civil partners – this is the modern world, after all) like glue. But there is now a rejection of double standards, a critique of a generation of politicians who paraded trophy wives while groping female reporters and waitresses, and – in the case of the priapic JFK – ordering in prostitutes by the bus load.

His no-show came simultaneously as news was made public Jackson no longer wanted to play for Golden State. The two likely weren’t just a coincidence.
The NBA stated only that Jackson wouldn’t be present at the Protégé event but didn’t give a reason. There might have been a legitimate excuse, but if there was, no one was giving it.
Jackson isn’t a stranger to alleged tomfoolery. He’s one of the more underrated talents in the NBA but also one of its more confounding. It was Jackson who followed Ron Artest into the stands during the infamous MMA brawl in Detroit.
Jackson was once charged with felony criminal recklessness and misdemeanor counts of battery and disorderly conduct in a fight outside an Indianapolis night club when Jackson was a member of the Indiana Pacers. (Mom always said nothing good happens outside of a strip club after midnight.)

The latest death was reported as Afghan officials announced an 80 percent increase in the number of major fraud allegations submitted after last week’s disputed presidential election—a sign of the deep challenges facing the U.S. and its allies in shoring up a legitimate Afghan government capable of withstanding the Taliban insurgency, corruption and drug trafficking.
A brief statement by the NATO command gave few details of the blast and did not say precisely where it occurred. U.S. military spokeswoman Capt. Elizabeth Mathias said the service member who died was American.
That brought to 45 the number of U.S. service members killed this month in the Afghan war—one more than the previous monthly record, set in July.

Police searching Calif. kidnapping suspect’s home for evidence in unsolved prostitute slayings
ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP)—The twisted kidnapping case of a woman held captive for 18 years in a secluded backyard compound took another disturbing turn Friday as authorities searched the home of her alleged captor for evidence in the murders of several prostitutes and new evidence surfaced of missed opportunities to arrest him years ago.

Also key is working closely with other entertainment industries, as 4mm is currently with the Def Jam label, to create win-win projects for both businesses.
“Some of the things that have happened in the music category over the past few years have created a number of high-profile head-butting incidents,” according to Perrett. “There’s definitely a jockeying of ‘my industry is better than yours’. I just firmly believe if you approach these situations with a mutual respect and a mutual understanding of what each other brings to the table you can create a partnership that will deliver value to both sides,” he added.
“It shouldn’t be a win/lose relationship. Why not have a music label invest in the game? Because then their interests are absolutely aligned with the game. The better they pimp their music, the more royalties they will make on games. It doesn’t have to be one at the exclusion of the other.”

Let the boycott begin… “I am a customer of Cotton On Kids who buys a STACK of clothes there for my kids and who willingly endorses their products FOR FREE whenever I am interviewed by the media. But Cotton On? Listen hard. I will not be setting foot inside any of your stores – not your kids stores or your adult stores or your Rubi shoes stores – until you discontinue this appalling line of slogan t-shirts and issue some kind of apology.” Mia Freedman shows Cotton On there is such a thing as bad PR
Austereo boss Peter Harvie is a pimp
That $1 million a year is also what Harvie earns in part from every degrading and disgusting prank Sandilands has pulled on air – which is why I call him Sandilands’ pimp. Make no mistake about how he makes this part of his money. Do not doubt how dirty those dollar bills are.

They say no one’s as bad as the worst thing they’ve ever done. That will be unless you’re Teddy Kennedy and in 1969 you drove a car that went off a bridge in Martha’s Vineyard, killing your companion, Mary Jo Kopechne.
His negligence put paid to his presidential hopes and Kennedy, then in his mid-30s, called his own actions “indefensible”.
But in the 40 years after the tragedy, Kennedy did more than anyone else to promote the civil rights, health and economic wellbeing of American people. President Barack Obama called him the “greatest senator of our time”.
Another politician went through his own baptism of fire a little earlier. John Profumo was Britain’s War Secretary in 1963 when it emerged he had been embroiled in an affair with Christine Keeler, a callgirl also enjoying the attentions of a Soviet attache.
