I heard a song called Teddy K that was set to the Irish pub song MTA by the Kingston Trio.

Well let me tell you of a story of a man named Teddy K
on a tragic and a fateful day
He got inside his Lincton, His vision was a blurring, and the road just started turning...

Did he ever return? No, he never returned, all night he stayed away.....

It was really funny, but I haven't heard it in years...

Here I go giving away my age, but I seem to remember Ted Kennedy drove off Chappaquitik (sp) Bridge same week-end in July, 1969 as the first Moon Walk!?! Good Ole Teddy’s 40th anniversary for that accident.

Not funny when you remember a young woman lost her life, a family lost its daughter.

Yep, the party was Friday night—by the time a little of the news was filtering out on Sunday the 20th, it was drowned out (no pun intended) by the other news-the 20th was the day man first walked on the moon.

Teddy was lucky, if you want to call it that, with his timing.

I don’t think what happened to her was funny-When Jonathan Swift wrote “a Modest Proposal” he wasn’t trying to be funny, either.

It's a damn good list, and it must have taken you quite awhile. He richly deserves all the Internet send-ups and more, in that he never did the time for the crime because he believes he is our better; and other than bribes, he shouldn't have to pay.

This is what happens when the rich and powerful get away with manslaughter or negligent homicide, then go on to a long career of wrecking the country, encouraging illegals to get away with breaking the law and braying for the murder of innocents in the womb. The sheeple are reduced to sarcasm and farce.
