Losing someone you love changes you – sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Here’s hoping Cathy’s son discovers some humanity in this loss.

“…none of its hundreds of restaurants are open on that day…”

So why don’t all conservative businesses do it? How about we just start with Black Friday? You know, when CEOs take time off to proclaim their deep family convictions while they force the middle class to work?

RIP Truett. May the afterlife be an endless Village People cover band.

Thank you for the waffle fries.

Like his product, he’ll be packed in salt and buried with 2 pickles.

I am making Italian beef sandwiches tonight to celebrate. I absolutely LOVE chicken. I can eat it 7 days a week. But I will abstain from eating it to revel in the death of this fucking Christianist homophobe.
And, no, I do NOT feel sorry for his fucking bigoted family. I hope they put his body in between two slices of white bread and toast him in the crematorium (pepperjack cheese is optional). Don’t like my opinion of his death? Then go buy a chicken sandwich and leave me the fuck alone. Flame on!

What are the odds on the Westboro Baptist Church showing up for the funeral? Not in protest, but in solidarity.

Incidentally, how can Catherine Thompson be the author of an AP article? Does she moonlight for AP? Does Josh know?

RIP. Now it’s time for the family to live in this century.

Unfortunately, he won’t know that there is nothing after death, because there is nothing after death. Stupid bigot.

As Bette Davis said upon the demise of Joan Crawford, “Death does not improve people”

Death has a funny way of taking the soul of an incorrigible man and leaving his earthly wealth to the devil.

Green tea blown out of nostrils

Cats at stand bye/red alert

shirt ruined

keyboard destroyed

ROTFL!

Oh, I don;t know about that. I think death would go a long way towards making Dick Cheney a nicer person.

In the 1980s (and possibly earlier/later as well) Truett Cathy taught middle-school-level Sunday School and I attended a few times with my friend who was a regular. He did a lot for those kids, had them out to his property regularly for fun events (riding around on go-karts and whatnot), helped people with hospital bills, etc.

It is a shame to see people speak of him like the leader of Westboro Baptist Church because his son said some awful things. I mean, yes, I would imagine virtually all 90+ year old Southern Baptist men are homophobic (even if they are themselves gay) due to a lifetime of brainwashing but the worst thing Truett ever did publicly that I know of is not selling people fried chicken on Sundays.
