In a Salon.com Politics 'War Room' entry, there's this tidbit:

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey served on the 9/11 Commission and has warned that Washington must act quickly to avoid another attack. But he's in Boston this week, and he says he has no worries about being here -- if only because death is inevitable anyway. "The last thing I'm going to do is modify my own behavior," Kerrey told Salon inside the Fleet Center. "My own view about this is that none of us get out of this deal alive. Eventually, I'm going to die, so why quit living before that?"
