John Kerry and Ted Kennedy have apparently decided to get a head start on their Memorial Day holidays, costing the Obama administration a key appointment, and Ed Markey makes a strong, principled stand for bigger government, voting in favor of further federalizing our bloated education system, but voting against funding our troops in the field in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
