God Speed to you Jessie!! Some great men have died on this day, and it only seems fitting that you joined them on this day. God Bless his family, long may his memory be cherished by those who loved him most. – Lorica

The part with the question mark is NOT a part of the official URL and NOT generated by WRAL.com.

The official URL is here: http://www.wral.com/news/local/politics/story/1755723/
If you’ll notice, that’s the URL to which your link earlier in the blogpost goes.

Anyone can tack on a question mark and some words to a URL, and the link will appear to load.

I’ve got an email in to some folks at WRAL to see what the deal is. I’ve never known WRAL to use any permalink beyond the numbers.

RAL editor, if that’s the case, then why did it show up on the first page of Google with that URL, as though it were cached that way? If it’s something that someone other than someone at WRAL did, I don’t think it would show up in the Google search with that exact URL. It’s still doing that as of this writing, BTW.

I have a feeling it is due to the story being linked on FARK that way, which would create a huge deal with Google.

I would love to see what the DU comment was saying, but, they have deleted it, and somehow cleared the google cache.

“While the corks may be popping off the champagne bottles today of those who hated Helms…”

They’re throwing a party in the leftosphere over this.

Totally off topic here, but I couldn’t find somewhere else to post this …

What’s your take on this story Sister Toldjah?

I, for one, loved the hands ad. As Jesse said, what part of it was untrue? The Helms/Gantt race completed my transition from the dark side of the democrats to the conservatives.

Jesse Helms was a tough one. Can you imagine an ad like the hands ad being run today? Heck, our side is too chicken to point out Obama’s faults let alone run an ad that shows the results of his policies. After all, we don’t want to be called racists. We need many more like Helms. RIP Jesse. Thanks for everything.

Zach, I didn’t see much of a controversy in the story – I think if it had been related to Countrywide, there would have been something there. The only thing the story helped solidify, IMO, was the fact that Barack Obama is not immune to accepting “special favors” politicians often receive – contra to his “official” position on such matters.
