Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier...

... a Liberty University student was arrested at Jerry Falwell's funeral for having bombs in the trunk of his car. He said they were to prevent protesters from disrupting the funeral. I suppose the bombs themselves wouldn't have been a disruption at all.

It's unclear whether the protesters with whom he was concerned were Fred Phelps and his minions of hate, or sane people who just didn't like Jerry's politics.

Interestingly, none of the Republican Presidential candidates attended Jerry's funeral. They were all too busy. Another sign of the impending doom of the knee-jerk evangelical Republican voting bloc - something for which we can all be thankful.

Jerry Falwell Dead at 73

Meh.

I'm glad he didn't suffer. I'm sorry for his family. But the world is better off without him.

I'm really surprised that I don't have more to say about it. But luckily, some other folks do:

• Tinky Winky, the Teletubby, prepared a touching eulogy for Rev. Falwell.


• Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket Falwell's funeral. Because Falwell helped create the “Satanic Sodomite Zeitgeist”, of course.
