Liberals minus 1

I was in a taxi on the way to the airport when Cris rang with the news that Sen. Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash this morning. Bloody hell. It's already all over the news, of course, so I won't even post a link. That's one less voice of reason in the Senate -- here's hoping Jesse Ventura, governor of Minnesota, has enough sense to... oh, jeez, this doesn't look good at all.

Closer to home, the funeral for murdered tranny Eddie Arajo, Jr. is expected to attract not only hundreds of friends and mourners, but also the inimitable and revolting Fred Phelps et al. from Topeka, the group that makes Jerry Falwell look like a fag-lover. This blogger, WilliamTed, has "plans." No good can come of that, I'm afraid.

Update: The funeral came off without a visit from the hateful Kansans.
