Okay, brownie points on class

Normally I could care less about Larry Flynt.

However, I do have to give him points for his comments about the passing of Jerry Falwell.

Larry Flynt On Jerry Falwell: Hustler Lawsuit Revisited On Day Of Rival's Death

"Upon hearing of his death, Flynt released the following statement to Access Hollywood:

"The Reverend Jerry Falwell and I were arch enemies for fifteen years. We became involved in a lawsuit concerning First Amendment rights and Hustler magazine. Without question, this was my most important battle – the l988 Hustler Magazine, Inc., v. Jerry Falwell case, where after millions of dollars and much deliberation, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in my favor.

My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling."

That would make Flynt the... bigger man.

A side-note on the side-bar. The ad that was in the sidebar when I opened the link was for Subway, pushing their healthy, you-can-lose-weight-with-our-sammiches campaign.

With the article's photo being two fat guys.

I'm still grinning wryly.

Frickin' Wow. Email that one to Bitmum, would you? You two don't read each other's journals but I have reason to think this would interest her.
