A woman to whom I was once married—not the Sole Heir’s mother—once thought living in North Carolina would be splendid. Beaches, beautiful mountains, nice weather, fully-realized but not-too-urban cities, not as pricey as the Washington area. A good deal all around, she thought.
“I wouldn’t live there if they paid me,” I said.
She asked why.
“Because over half the people who live there keep sending Jesse Helms to the Senate.”
And that encompasses my thoughts on his passing.
One of the worst humans to attain a position of power and celebrity in American public life, I'd say.
