The World Just Became A Much Better Place
Rev. Jerry Falwell, perhaps America’s most notorious hatemonger, has passed away. Lest we be tempted to eulogize, as we so often are in times like these, I offer the following quote about 9/11:
“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America,” he said. “I point the finger in their face and say ‘You helped this happen.’ ”
This man did more to make America a worse place to live for a large portion of its population than perhaps any in recent history. And he made Tinky Winky cry. I’m pretty sure that if there is a God, right now Jerry’s finding out just how badly he misinterpreted His message.

Go find Chris Hitchens’ eugoogly (quoting Zoolander, obv), such as it was, for him. Rather amusing exchange between Anderson Cooper and Hitchens re Falwell.
