Atv rider struck, killed by train
Ok, Anonymous commenter
I will rewrite my blog post with what I do know as reflected in the article above:
The man in the article above was riding his atv on railway tracks, where he was hit by a train.
This act of thoughtlessness resulted in his death, and left behind friends and family who mourn his loss and one engineer who will have to live with a tragedy not of his making for the rest of his life.
Moral of the story: Tons of train cannot stop on a dime and atvs do not belong on railway tracks.

First, Mr Falwell, She is Black....
A Fitting Eulogy for Jerry Falwell from the Soma Review
Cheerfully liberated from the blog of my dear friend James
Now that the evangelist has finally met his maker, we pray for his sake that God is an amiable old white guy with a long grey beard, and is not, say, a big purple Teletubby with a triangle above his head and a magic bag dangling from his arm.

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.

I don't have power — I have influence," she said. "Power and privilege? It's an ability to help to change. My prominence is a trust."
