The beloved founder of the international Special Olympics, sister of legendary liberal USA politicians, President John F. Kennedy, Senator Teddy Kennedy, and Senator Bobby Kennedy died today at age 88.

I wonder if Obama will repeat his joke about the Special Olympics during in a tribute speech.

Interesting stat from the thai website;

The number of people with intellectual disabilities in Thailand is estimated to be close to 2 million, or about 3% of population.

I wonder what type of care and educational services are extended to these people.

I wonder if Obama will repeat his joke about the Special Olympics during in a tribute speech.

To err is human ...
