Is It Wrong...

... that when I read that Jesse Helms had died this morning, the first thought that popped into my head was:

"God Bless America"?

I thought the EXACT SAME THING this morning, when I heard Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) was hungover during a radio interview & puked in their bathroom. I love you.

Damn, Jesse Helms was still alive?

my first thought was that it's sort of fitting that he died the same day as bozo the clown.

Not wrong at all. In fact, highly patriotic.

I did a little jig. Then I asked, "who the fuck is Jesse Helms?"

Praise Jesus, Amen!

I actually thought "Burn in Hell, Jesse!"

Then I drank...

No way. If anything, it makes you a patriot. The bad-ass kind, not the pole-smokin' douchebag kind.

there is a special place in purgatory for Jesse Helms. i think we'll see a South Park episode about it before too long.

Having seen so much death in my life I find it difficult to celebrate. The world is always a better place when ignorance and hatred are gone. It's unfortunate that people don't realize this when they are alive and can be better human beings. I'm not sorry that him and his ideals are gone. It's just unfortunate that death was what had to make it happen. Sorry, I'll step down from my soap box and relinquish the mike. P.S. how's Wendell G?

I wish I could have bitch slapped him before he bit it.

When I hear the news, the first thing I thought was, "Farewell you hateful old man, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

How you been, bro?
