Now the issue is Falwell was watching his pool boy bang his wife for years, and when the pool boy wanted a settlement on the gay-friendly business he and Falwell owned together, Falwell cried blackmail. At any rate, he has resigned from the college now. Some things were just meant to be.

It's certainly wtf but could probably happen anywhere, good thing the medical examiner decided not to do an autopsy.

20 year old woman in Michigan was found unresponsive in a home, paramedics spent 30 minutes doing life saving measures could not find any signs of life, paramedics consulted with an ER doctor who declared the woman dead based on the medical evidence at that time, the medical examiner was called and after reviewing the medical data, what the ER doctor said, and the patients medical history determined no autopsy was to be performed so her body was released to a funeral home.

When she arrived at the funeral home staff discovered, she was in fact now breathing, so she was transported to hospital, where her condition is not known.

Richard Spencer endorses Joe Biden - WTF?
"The MAGA/Alt-Right moment is over. I made mistakes; Trump is an obvious disaster; but mainly the paradigm contained flaws that we now are able to perceive. And it needs to end ... So be patient. We'll have another day in the sun. We need to recover and return in a new form....I will never flip on my fundamental principles. (My principles were never voting for the supposed 'the lesser or two evils' or 'stopping big government.')"

White nationalist Richard Spencer has said he will be backing Democratic candidate Joe Biden in November's election after previously distancing himself from Donald Trump.

There were at least two full-length BBC TV documentaries featuring Richard Spencer. My sense was that his shtick was to be the “kinder, gentler” face of extremist white nationalism. He was always smiling when he spoke, and seemed courteous towards interviewers etc. This move, biding his time, seems to fit in.

That’s why Mary Baker Eddy had a telephone wired up into her coffin. I’ve visited her gravesite, and indeed the telephone cord is still trailing out from under the slab.

Isn't this an underhand dishonest ploy to further smear and discredit Biden and the Dem party though? Turn a body of posters off voting Dem ?

Perhaps, if Biden and co had form for cozying up to 'very fine people' but their campaign has stepped right in and expressed their disgust. Which body of voters might be put off?
