"Death comes to us all, Mary Agnes"

Jesse Helms is dead.

"no comment," because, well, you know what they say.

...it really is the great equalizer, isn't it? Whatever else in this
world, no matter how wonderful or how awful you are, it's the one

was 86).

...aaaaannnnnnnnndddd....

yeah. I said "no comment," didn't I.

-bites tongue really hard-

Oh, yeah.

Happy Independence Day.
