    Last Sight and Sound

    Last night I dreamt the last person Jesse Helms saw, as he started his journey to 'White Christians-only Hell', was a black nurse shouting into the old cretin's ear: "The good news is you're going to white hell but the bad news is you won't live a few more months to see a black man in the White House. Goodbye Mr Helms, if you get a chance to speak to Strom Thurmond down there (after he's taken his pee-pee out of your mouth) don't forget to tell him about the USA getting a black president".
