Jerry Falwell died.

From the CBC article:

Over the decades, Falwell campaigned against abortion, same-sex marriage, pornography, stem-cell research and bans on school prayers.

He drew ire for saying AIDS is punishment for homosexuals, the Antichrist was a Jewish man, and Tinky Winky, a purse-toting character on the children’s show Teletubbies, is a gay role model.

Three days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the United States, he blamed them on abortionists, feminists, pagans, gays, lesbians and others who “tried to secularize America.” He later apologized.
