If your niece has a "dipper", she might be your nephew... I'd get that looked at

The man? Glad we won't be hearing any more crap from him. Not in a "Damn, crack open a bottle of wine" way... more like a "Cool, I don't have to do laundry this weekend" kinda way. Won't miss him. Didn't spend any time thinking about him anyway, except when forced. I wrote that guy off back in college when I believed.

Celebrations? Ick! What kind of society are we becoming?

Well, as ridiculous as the Ozians were portrayed in "Wicked" for their ding-dong celebrations ... I rather lean towards "The Wizard of Oz" where those who were harmed or oppressed by the Wicked Witch of the East were rightful (not to mention entertaining) in breaking out into song and dance to rejoice at her demise.

As a gay man, a liberal, a secularist and a feminist ... a hearty chorus of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" is exactly the dance I'm going to do .... but I'll stop short of doing it on the man's grave, marring his funeral rights, or dancing in the face of grieving loved ones.

Here on the LoT, though, I don't imagine much love lost at the loss of Jerry Fallwell ... and he does not deserve to fall well, but far.

You see the face on the TV screen
coming at you every Sunday
see that face on the billboard
that man is me

On the cover of the magazine
there's no question why I'm smiling
you buy a piece of paradise
you buy a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
don't need to believe in hereafter
just believe in me

Cos Jesus he knows me
and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
oh yes he knows me
and he knows I'm right
and he's been telling me
everything is alright

I believe in the family
with my ever loving wife beside me
but she don't know about my girlfriend
or the man I met last night

Do you believe in God
cos that's what I'm selling
and if you wanna get to heaven
I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house
or get outta your chair
you don't even have to touch that dial
cos I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me
and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
oh yes he knows me
and he knows I'm right
well he's been telling me
everything's gonna be alright

Won't find me practising what I'm preaching
won't find me making no sacrifice
but I can get you a pocketful of miracles
if you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
just do as I say, don't do as I do

I'm counting my blessings,
I've found true happiness
cos I'm getting richer, day by day
you can find me in the phone book,
just call my toll free number
you can do it anyway you want
just do it right away

There'll be no doubt in your mind
you'll believe everything I'm saying
if you wanna get closer to him
get on your knees and start paying

Cos Jesus he knows me
and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
oh yes he knows me
and he knows I'm right
well he's been telling me
everything's gonna be alright, alright

Jesus he knows me
Jesus he knows me, you know...

No hatred here. While I didn't like his tactics, He had just as much right to speak his mind as we do here. Even Larry Flint and him had an admiration for one another. (they would often travel and debate at colleges).

"The Reverend Jerry Falwell and I were arch enemies for fifteen years. We became involved in a lawsuit concerning First Amendment rights and Hustler magazine. Without question, this was my most important battle – the l988 Hustler Magazine, Inc., v. Jerry Falwell case, where after millions of dollars and much deliberation, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in my favor.

My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in

California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling.

The most important result of our relationship was the landmark decision from the Supreme Court that made parody protected speech, and the fact that much of what we see on television and hear on the radio today is a direct result of my having won that now famous case which Falwell played such an important role in."Source: accesshollywood.com

I like the quote in bold.

Honestly, I have not thought of Falwell in years, neither alive nor dead. While he did nothing for me, and even frustrated me with his views at times, he definitely touched many lives and enriched them.

R.I.P Jerry only you know if you were right.

I heard on the radio this morning the Phelps clan is planning on protesting at Falwell’s funeral…

That would put Falwell in Hell for nearly 48 hours. I wonder if he is still going through orientation?
