RIP: Jerry Falwell, 1933-2007

Jerry Falwell has died. Rather suddenly, from all appearances. Given his previous health scares, it's likely to have been cardiac in nature. He was found unresponsive in his office and pronounced dead an hour later.

I'm sure the man had a positive influence through his various ministries, and I know people who've gone to Liberty University, so I don't have any desire or need to say anything bad about him. But I will say that his contribution to American politics will not be missed.

He wrote a eulogy for himself that his death is God's punishment on America "for all the gays".

I think the closing went something like, "Screw Tinky-winky."
