He's with Rush now.



TAMPA, Fla. — A man who bragged of tricking local Florida officials into letting him fly a massive Confederate flag at the corners of two busy interstates has died, authorities said.

Police said officers found 73-year-old Marion Lambert dead on his small farm in Tampa on Wednesday. WFLA first reported the news. Officials said foul play is not suspected.

Family and friends started an online fundraiser for funeral expenses and for the future of the farm, which was a popular stop for fresh honey, eggs and milk in the city.

6. I know you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead.

So I'll just say there's now one less gross ass Confederate flag flyer in the world.

And that's good.
