Liberty University, the Chateau of Clueless founded by Jerry Falwell, has decided it ain’t real.

The decision by the school’s president, Jerry Falwell Jr., to partly reopen his evangelical university enraged residents of Lynchburg, Va. Then students started getting sick.

I dunno what everybody is so damn upset about. This is science. It’s a rare opportunity to see natural selection real time. Usually we have to wait thousands of years to see it. Now we’ll get to see it right freekin’ now.

When students started getting sick at the school with endowments of $2 billion, people in the surrounding community started saying they should not have opened the school.  Jerry Falwell, Jr., who now runs the joint, did what the right wing always does: he went from chest pounding arrogance to whiny victim in two seconds flat.

“We’re conservative, we’re Christian, and therefore we’re being attacked,” he [Falwell] said.

Michael Gillette, a former mayor of Lynchburg and a bioethicist now working with its hospitals on rationing scarce ventilators, disagrees.

“To argue that criticism of Liberty is based on political bias is unfounded and unreasonable,” he said. “Liberty just did not take this threat as seriously as others have.”

If Falwell thinks we’re going to let him kill a bunch of innocent people in surrounding communities without saying anything about it, he should be reminded that the Crusades are over.

So is my patience with these people.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
