I see on Yahoo news today - next to a news button listing Lindsay Lohan as the "hottest woman" - that Jerry Falwell died today at age 73. One of those news stories was consequential, the other not so much.
Sadly, Jerry Falwell was most well known as the hated man of the liberal left, caricatured relentlessy in the media as a right-wing religious crazy.
In truth, I think the final judgement was that he was first and foremost a great evangelist in every good sense of that word. A faithful champion for decades for the cause of Christ. Influential in politics only secondarily. He had a life's work to be proud of.
Good work, Rev. Falwell. I'm sad at your passing.
