but...if I'd thought about it.....I wouldn't have put "broken" and "Ted Kennedy" side by side....the fact that I've had cancer in my family ought to have made me sensitive to the wording, but I didn't spend any time on the title....rather, I put in a few moments commenting on the sense of community that makes multiple people want to tell everybody about it...

I understand that on these tubes, trying to explain how you came to err often leads to a bigger hole. Like Mark Green said to the guy Tweety was filleting on MSNBC last week, "When you're in a hole, stop digging."

But for some reason, I feel compelled to try and explain to you...yeah I fucked up, I get it...

To riff off another comment, one man's mulish is another guy's mea culpa.

And as far as your personal viewpoint about me, based on this one badly worded title....tell you what, peek at my comments, previous diaries, and
see if it persists....

not that it's worth anything at the moment, but I know you and I have traded recs in the past, if not recently.
