It would seem that the 76-year old senior senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has suffered a stroke seizure. He is said to be "resting comfortably" - we probably won't know more for another couple of days.
While it's of course too soon to think about such things, you know people are so why not us? So I'm thinking we'd better get used to saying/hearing the words "Senator Joseph Kennedy" in the very near future.
As to the update... Well, the guy is 76 and, as in most cases, it's not just the years but the miles that matters - and at the end of the day a seizure, while serious, ain't a stroke. So perhaps Uncle Ugo's favorite American pol is going to have to wait a while to play in The World's Most Deliberately Arrogant Body, eh?
I must have flipped the wrong switch please repost comments -- sorry
