Now for some good news:

Jesse Helms is dead.

Wow. What charm school did you go to?

ahem...

I sincerely apologize for calling the death of Jesse Helms "good news." He did many wonderful things for this country during his nearly 5 decades as senator from North Carolina. As a former NC resident, I followed the news very closely and watched how his voting in the senate propelled this country forward on issues like civil rights and AIDS research. Every time he made the news I couldn't help but think, "Wow, what a guy." I was proud to be a NC resident while he was senator of that great state. I sincerely hope countless others will follow in his footsteps. He will be missed.
