Haters
Jesse Helms, the conservative former senator who spoke loudly and often about things like gays being "revolting" and Martin Luther King Jr being un-American, died early Friday morning at the age of 86. One can't help but wonder if the God the fiery Baptist so loved was making a statement by squelching such an effusive bigot on America's most celebrated day of freedom and independent thinking. Good riddance, etc.

I'll say the same thing I said when Ronald Reagan died: proof that the good die young.
If you get a chance, read his obituary in the Guardian:

In case you don't have time, I will summarize for you. "Jesse Helms died today. He was an incredible douche bag." Is it sad that his death made my weekend?
I wonder if Jesse left instructions in his will that freed his slaves, I mean 'house staff'.
Good riddance indeed.
