Jesse Helms is not dead despite what Spin magazine and Bill O'Reilly say. I wonder if Jesse has listened to the new U2 Cd that Bono sent him? Fascinating.

Does 'Spin,' the monthly music magazine, know something the rest of us don't?
In its December issue, Spin has a cover story about the rock band U2 and its star Bono.
It notes that Bono has been active in the war against AIDS and has teamed up with some famous people including 'the late ultra-right wing North Carolina senator Jesse Helms.'
Asked about the report Monday, Helms quipped: 'I agree with Mark Twain. Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.'
The mistake was certainly not Bono's.
The rocker recently sent Helms a note and a copy of his new CD, 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.'"
