After inviting Liberty University students to the family farm for a “real” graduation party, former university leader Jerry Falwell Jr. has called off the event.
In a statement issued by Becki Falwell, Jerry’s wife and reported by Lynchburg’s ABC affiliate, the evangelical scion called off the gathering, citing health reasons.
Health reasons. I guess Becki wasn’t up for any more trains.
No, he definitely wasn’t drunk when he invited the entire graduating class and whoever they might be dating to come party at his house. Why do you ask?
Oh, gawd, this just keeps on getting better and better all the time. This is why I’m now leaning towards the Matrix explanation of reality, as reality could NOT be this crazy without a team of demented writers scripting it.
What’s amusing is that in Heinlein’s ‘Future History’ cycle, this period is known as 'The Crazy Years".
“We’re gonna have the real Liberty graduation,” Falwell intoned while holding a mic.
“If you’re not a senior but you date one, you can come, too,” he added.
Turning up the heat on the board of Libertine U, is he? “Give me my severance pay or I won’t go away.”
