Recently Dead
Oh, yeah, we almost forgot. North Carolina Republican senator, Jesse Helms, who during his 52-year career opposed virtually everything gay, black, and arts-oriented, died, ironically or aptly, on Independence Day at the Mayview Convalescent Center in Raleigh, where he'd lived in declining health for the last few years. He was 86. "Nothing positive happened to Sodom and Gomorrah," he once said, "and nothing positive is likely to happen to America if our people succumb to the drumbeats of support for the homosexual lifestyle." (Int'l Herald Tribune)
