Senator Ted Kennedy passed away late on August 25, so there was a lot of discussion on Mahalo Answers regarding the news.http://www.mahalo.com/answers/politicians/will-ted-kennedys-death-have-an-influence-on-the-fate-of-health-care-reformhttp://www.mahalo.com/answers/current-events/did-ted-kennedy-die. However the most question by far was posed by @mike who asked users which priority Mahalo bugs need to be fixed.http://www.mahalo.com/answers/mahalo-answers-technical-issues/calling-all-aspiring-exterminators-september-is-mahalos-official-bug-month-post-your-favorite-aka-most-hated-mahalo-bug
