Jesse Helms dead at 86

Former Senator Jesse Helms has died. As I am a firm believer of saying nothing ill of the dead, I will not say much about this man at this time. However, a couple of points:

1. Reverend Grahm, comparing Mr. Helms to intellectual greats such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, or even James Monroe is an insult to those men. 

2. I am very sorry that Mr. Helms won't see Barack Obama elected president in November.
