On truth being stranger than fiction

Best of the Web:

What do the senior senator from Massachusetts and quadruple murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams have in common? The Associated Press provides one answer:

Meet the latest children's author, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash, his co-protagonist in "My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C."

<p>Scholastic Inc. will release the book in May.</p>

So Ted Kennedy has a dog named Splash? How witty.
