news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7841151.stmVeteran US senator Ted Kennedy has collapsed during the lunch being held to mark President Barack Obama's inauguration in Washington. There has been no further news so far on the condition of Mr Kennedy, who was diagnosed last year as having a cancerous brain tumour. Mr Obama expressed his concern and said his thoughts and prayers were with Mr Kennedy's family. Unconfirmed reports said veteran Senator Robert Byrd also collapsed. My goodness, they are dropping like flies!

That's either a joke, or it figures, as Senator Bryd was a KKK member back in 1942 and a black President being inaugurated should be just about enough to make him collapse. |

Cancerous brain tumours usually cause seizures and Ted Kennedy has suffered from these before. Bad timing though!

The Kennedys have never been a lucky family, you have to feel for them.

The family must think they are doomed, they have been steeped in controversy, assasinations, scandals, accidents, death, illness you name it! Dreadful!

Ted Kennedy is 76 so i guess he has had a greater innings than many Kennedys.

i wonder which family member sold their soul to the devil? Maybe from the fortune Joe the patriarch made from manipulating the stock market and drug running. |

Here you go sweet soul! The menu for the Inauguration ~
Lunch
After being sworn in watched by millions, Obama will enjoy a relatively secluded lunch with around 200 congressional leaders, Supreme Court justices and members of his incoming cabinet.
Once again, the 44th US president has opted to evoke the spirit of his political idol Abraham Lincoln, serving the seafood, game and root vegetables he liked best on replicas of his White House china.
Guests will begin their meal with a seafood stew of scallops, prawns and lobster with a puff pastry top, washed down with a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from Duckhorn Vineyards in California’s Napa Valley.
Following on will be a brace of American birds: duck breast with sour cherry chutney and herb roasted pheasant with wild rice stuffing accompanied by Molasses-whipped sweet potatoes and winter vegetables. Another Californian wine, a 2005 Goldeneye Pinot Noir from the Anderson Valley, will be served alongside.
The desert will be cinnamon apple sponge cake and sweet cream glace, during which guests will be invited to toast their new leader with some a Korbel Natural “Special Inauguration Curvee” California Champagne, 18 magnum cases of which have been dispatched to the White House for the occasion.
