Who made you happy when they died?

[mjkidd]

So I just read that Jerry Fallwell, religious blowhard, died. My instant reaction to this news was a broad smile that coincided with me thinking "awesome!" I can only describe my reaction as fleeting glee followed by a momentary elation. This feeling passed quickly, and I found that I was not ashamed of my reaction. I am very glad this SOB is dead.

Anyway, this is the first time I can remember being happy when someone died. Usually my reaction to a famous person dying is either "Oh, they were still alive?" or a bored indifference. Very occasionally, if they were someone I had an emotional connection to (RIP Kurt Vonnegut), I felt a twinge of sadness.

So, OOT, who has made you happy when they died?

Correction: Fallwell was the second person I can remember who died and made me happy.

My old vice princepal, who pretty much tried to [censored] up college chances for anybody who didn't look/act like the perfect image of suburbia regardless of their actual abilities.

Hard to get too broken up about Sadam.
