Jerry Falwell Dies at 73

Never take joy in the death of another, but in this case it's a little hard not to. The world, today, is a better place than yesterday. Now that Mr. Falwell, found of the obscenely named "Moral Majority", has popped off, perhaps some of his compatriots in religious intolerance will follow along. I hope it wasn't painful, because I don't wish that on almost anyone. But the honest answer is Good Riddance. I am confident that if Heaven and Hell exist, he's burning eternally in purgatory for his sins against humanity.

From the AP Wire: The Rev. Jerry Falwell, who founded the Moral Majority and built the religious right into a political force, died Tuesday shortly after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University, a school executive said. He was 73. Ron Godwin, the university's executive vice president, said "CPR efforts were unsuccessful," he said. Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but he said Falwell "has a history of heart challenges."

One ought not preach intolerance and hatred, and when you preach against exclusion for any reasons (gays, for just one example) for something that cannot be controlled, you are preaching hatred. When you stand for saying someone will go to hell for not sharing your beliefs, you are becoming a fascist. Falwell was not a nice man, he was not a good man, he was an evil man. And if you really believe in God, evil men will go to Hell. I'll find out because I'm pretty sure I'll go there too -- I hope there's an opening in IT (of course, being Hell, it's probably a Windows shop.)

Let's Buy Dick Cheney a Cheeseburger

Some clever chap has a brilliant idea which I am very keen on. This person states "I hereby declare April 13, 2007, is National Buy Dick Cheney a Cheeseburger Day. Millions of Americans will buy cheeseburgers, consume them, and then mail their receipts to Vice President Dick Cheney, to encourage him to chow down or celebrate the fact he can't."

It's rather amusing, trying to kill-off Mr. Cheney this way. Would that it works. In the blog, he provides full details. Though, I might suggest directly sending them to Mr. Cheney as follows:

Big Dick Cheney
1 Observatory Circle NW
Washington, DC 20008
USA

You can buy also buy gift cards/certificates/vouchers at either http://www.bk.com and http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/shop/certificates.html -- perhaps you wish to get a card and use it all up except one or two cents and then mail in the gift-card as well.

I wish this guy wasn't anonymous because I'd like to thank him for giving me this little bit of joy, just before tax day coincidentally.

Anna Nicole Smith Dead

Yeah. I realize it's a sad time for her troubled family. I am not criticizing her in this post nor am I judging her. I just have one question. Why is this national news? It's a tragedy when one of my relatives dies, but why does anyone care -- it certainly doesn't make the paper. She has no real claim to fame. Why are we being besieged with news about it?

The Return and Death of Crazy Frog

I've blogged about him before in my post Crazy Frog or Coldplay? and now I shall kill him -- for he's responsible for some 20,000 of my blog hits -- visitors who come and leave without nary a glance at the rest of this blog. View this 28 second clip and then read on:




Okay, it's not really me who killed him, but someone did it properly. Yay! Crazy Frog is officially old and tired. I saw a new Crazy Frog CD in FYE just this past weekend and I was wondering why he was still kicking around. Now, he isn't 'cause he's been offed.
