Jerry Falwell is dead.

At age 73, having keeled over in his office of apparent heart problems. People have expressed great shock over the fact he actually had one.

Try as I might, I really can't summon up any sense of loss.

This is the man who thought TinkyWinky in the Teletubbies was a gay model role. (I think he had a burr on about SpongeBob Squarepants, too). He blamed 9/11 on pagans, homosexuals, lesbians, abortionists and unnamed "others" where trying to secularize America.

I am sure the family will be comforted in knowing that the Westboro Baptist Church will be picketing his funeral.

ye Gawds.
