Jesse Helms funeral services to be held at 2 pm today. NC Governor proclaims

[Riddler]

flags be flown at half-mast until sunset. Should someone tell his rabid racist supporters that doesn't mean to lower their confederate flags? I swear I already saw one this morning on Hwy 53 outside of White Oak. Helms made me ashamed of my home state, and his legacy carries on through the backwardness, hatred and narrow-mindedness of his tobacco-spittle chinned redneck supporters.

Please, Jesse, DO NOT Rest in Peace, you piece of shit.

5. I'm finding it hard to stomach the endless articles about him on WRAL's site.

When are they going to interview someone who wasn't one of his admirers? There are
plenty of us out there to choose from.

At least Slate finally ran an article about what a nasty relic of days best forgotten he was.

How about a little REALITY folks? Geez! He barely won his elections, a LOT of us DESPISED him. Wake up, NC!!!

11. There's an interview with Barry Saunders

there too. One of the too few, IMO.

For those outside NC Barry, a Raleigh N&O columnist, was and is a long time Jesse critic, rightly so.
