Last week's news out of Massachusetts surprised even me. Voters in the Bay State did the (apparently) unthinkable, electing a Republican to the U.S. Senate for the first time since 1972. To make this upset even more astonishing, this was the Senate seat previously held by Ted Kennedy for nearly 47 years.* Prior to that, big brother Jack had held the seat for eight years. No small wonder that the office became known as "the Kennedy seat."
But the Kennedy brothers' 55 years, put in perspective, is still no big deal. Congressman John Dingell, Jr. has been serving the 15th District of Michigan for over 54 years. He took office on the death of his father, John Sr., who served for 22 years. Pundits, however, do not wax eloquent on 77 years of "the Dingell Dynasty," nor have they (to my knowledge) branded the 15th District as "the Dingell Seat."

re: state of what union?
Well-written and well-stated. Not quite sure what the answer is, but, at the very least, voting keeps getting us off the couch cushions.
re: state of what union?
Excellent column. Passes over the easy targets and hones in on the problem.
re: a taste of christmas
Loved it!

re: the internet is always right
Hi Russ; so enjoyed your sense of humor; me, coming from an era in which I still typed poems, songs, plays on a royal typewriter, and the only passing of information back and forth had happened in the third grade, when doing so would put you in the corner for the rest of class and recess. Back then too, my friends read secreted comic books, while I read books, and we got our version of news of the world once a week at the movie house (10 cents and you can stay all day), with the highly scripted News of the World. Radio was pretty wonderful though - no talk shows, and great comedy and drama. I suppose the "large percentage of dutiful readers" younger than us (and particularly me) won't have these kind of memories; but then, they don't have to remember anything, as the Internet remembers, aghhhh, everything! Good write; thanks. Check out my CJ Carroll scribblings here.
