going to Roanoke. It's over expanding to the point of blocking out the horizon. They also have a fake ski slope. Jerry was insured up to his eyeballs.

If Jerry Falwell had an enema, he could have been buried in a matchbox.

Same with his son. The only "liberty" at Liberty University is the word "liberty" in their title. Don't ya just love the way the right wing co-ops words as if they own them, when they really despise them?
