Normally death does not make me happy

But learning that Jesse Helms, former Senator, reactionary wingnut, and world-class bigot, has joined the choir invisible, is not the worst news I've ever had.

Honestly, I thought he was already dead. But yeah, I'm not disagreeing :)

There's something very appropriate in the fact that he died on Independence Day, I'd say.

I am feeling marginally more sympathetic than I did when Falwell died. Of course, when Falwell died I made John's favorite dinner in celebration, so that says little.

Where did you hear this? I can find nothing on it online or on the news... and need to spread this! Help!

oh, I know. After I saw this post, I saw the headline on MSN. I hadn't had my coffee yet, and was a little slow. :)

I cannot believe the people in the state where I live, who have voted for the most liberal democrats available for governor literally *all my life*, allowed him to make vital decisions for this country for so long.

I think the bastard died in office years ago, but he is just now starting to decay because of his special chemicals, so they are finally going to bury him.

If I believed in hell I'd be headed there because of my feelings over his death.

It's definitely a case of I knew just enough about the guy to not mourn his passing, yanno?

I almost felt sad about going "HA ha" in a Nelson way when I heard. Then I moved on.

Wingnut?

The university's name is not Wingnut. It's Wingate :-)

Really! I don't want to sing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead", but it's sort of trailing through his head.

I hope he grows a bit more next time around.

(my head, not his head. I have no idea what's going through his head right now, besides daisies.)
