If you haven’t heard the news, Ted Kennedy died last week. Before you scroll down, I’m going to preface this upfront that this is not a tribute to Ted Kennedy. If you receive basic cable or have Internet access, you probably now have some understanding of Ted Kennedy’s impact on the nation and that’s a better place to receive that news instead of from this web site. This is a look into something more important now that Ted is out of the picture – who is the next American Family?

What do I mean? Well, for the past 50 – 60 years or so, the Kennedy’s have been dubbed “America’s First Family”. JFK, RFK, and Ted have given their lives to public service, literally. JFK and RFK were assassinated and Ted just gave all he had to his job until the day he died. The family was under a constant media microscope beginning with JFK’s rise into prominence and now ending with the passing of Ted. An era has ended.

But with the ending of an era, a new one has to take it’s place, right? Who will become the next American Family that everyone gasps when hardship hits and celebrates during good times? Who will have the longevity to challenge the Kennedy’s? I’ve been doing some thinking and here’s some options:

The Jonas Family –
I don’t know too much about the family over all, but these three little fucks with their purity rings are all over the place. I can’t get a Whopper without seeing their mugs on everything in Burger King. The South Park episode with them was awesome. The mom seems hot, but the Dad doesn’t look like he pulls much salt in the family. There are a couple of other little shits in this photo meaning that we won’t hear the end of this family for a while.
