Good Kennedy, bad Kennedy & dead Kennedy's

When it comes to looking at the elite owners of political America. Two names comes to mind the Bush's and the Kennedy's. Both dynasties try real hard to scrub their images so it looks clean for the history books. However, when it comes to bad Karma the Kennedy's seemed to have acquired more than their share. Though with the continued carnage in Iraq George W. Bush may be filling up the Bush family bad karma bucket faster than the Kennedy's lately.
I'm thinking about the Kennedy's lately not only because of the new Emilio Estevez film BOBBY about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. But, also because of commercials I have seen here in the Washington D.C. area promoting former congressman Joe Kennedy's Citizen's Energy project which provides low cost heating oil to individuals and families who can not afford the cost of heating oil to heat their homes. A good noble cause indeed. I contrast Joe Kennedy's good work with that of his uncle Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy who worked to make sure that a wind energy farm was not erected anywhere near property he and his wealthy neighbors owned because it would spoil their views. The fact that wind power would help to wean this country off of a dependence on imported oil does not seem to matter to limo liberals like Ted Kennedy. So while Joe Kennedy tries to help Americans, Senator Ted Kennedy hurts America by his actions against wind power projects and that does not make for good karma.
