    HELMS DIED OF AN UNNATURAL CAUSE

    On July 4th 2008, the day Jesse died, I watched a clip of his rantings on the tube.The rant i mostly enjoyed was that " homo sexual's have 16 different partners a month"

    The marriage of homosexuals caused the death of Jesse. He realized that the Rev.Ted Haggard, a Bush spiritual adviser was married, yet he strayed. He then thought of Mark Foley and passed.
