The End of an Era

My father James T. McKenna died on May 30th, 2010,  he was a 83 years old.

He will be much missed and long mourned.

But with him died something this country is sore lacking–a voice that was uncompromising and concerned with nothing but the welfare and best interests of his fellow men.

He was well-educated, funny, brilliant and humble and had perhaps the keenest political mind of his generation.

I am not nearly the writer nor the mind that my father was but in his memory and because he would have wanted some voice to continue to cry out in the wilderness,  I am going to continue his blog.

Requiem in pacem, Dad.
