Ted Kennedy, Renaissance Man
Even as our rulers' Cloward-Piven economic policy drives the dollar down toward worthlessness, some things are going up in value — gold and ammunition for two examples, Ted Kennedy's artwork for another:
In the few weeks since his death, paintings and prints by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy have increased in value — not quite to the point of, say, an undiscovered Picasso, but enough that a few people put them up for sale on eBay and had the artwork snapped up within days.
While the prices for these online-auctioned works ranged from just over $500 to more than $5,000, many who own original or silk-screened copies of the senator's seaside scenes and still lifes say no amount of money could persuade them to sell his art.
Yes, I can understand how they might feel that way.
Painting wasn't the Lion of the Left's only gift. Testifies Boston city councilor Rob Consalvo:
People didn't always see the whole man, they saw just the public man, the senator. But he was a gifted athlete, he loved to sing, and he could paint. He had an amazing number of talents – not the least of which was inspiring others.
He could even sing in Spanish. How's this for inspiring:
The world will never be the same without him.
With thanks to Baby Ratdog.

Jose Cuervo handed out sample quart bottles that day.
He should have been a mariachi! He was drunk enough to wear a big Mexican hat and play one of those 500 lb guitars!
Ay yi yi yi, canta no iiore

Hate to say it (not really, I LOVE to say it), but that looks like a paint-by-number.
Hey look, I'm a painter too!
