Ted Kennedy Recovers With Ice Cream, Ginger Ale

The seemingly invincible Ted Kennedy has left Mass General after his surgery to repair a partially blocked artery in his neck.

His recovery sounded a lot like what Cindy of the Brady Bunch went through after she had her tonsils taken out: "By Friday afternoon, doctors said Senator Kennedy was sitting up, eating ice cream and drinking ginger ale. He planned to watch the Red Sox game Friday night."

Even though they won Friday night, the Red Sox need to make sure they keep beating Cleveland--the health of Ted Kennedy may depend on their victory! And we know what you're thinking about that ginger ale. No, we don't know if the ginger ale had a little something extra mixed in.

If you are one of Senator Kennedy's nonfans, one commenter noted that the fact the artery was blocking blood flow to Kennedy's head "explained a lot."
