Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday. He was 86.

the troika is complete: Bo Diddley dead at 79

Spokesman/Aide-de-camp Spencer Harrison confirms legendary rocker dead at 79.  "In addition to his well known musical skills, he was an expert at phone pranks," says Harrison of Jacksonville, FL.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive ''shave and a haircut, two bits'' rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.

Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokesman Spencer Harrison said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation and resuming prank calls to unsuspecting 12 year olds.

if you want a wing, go buy a chicken

COLUMBIA — An NAACP leader on Wednesday blasted a South Carolina restaurant owner for a sign that mentioned Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on the same line as a dark and white meat chicken dinner special.

"Either it's the most insidious form of racism imaginable or the most gross error," said the Rev. Brendolyn Jenkins, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Aiken, where the restaurant is.

For his part, the white owner of Bullseye Big Chicken in Aiken defended the sign and said he didn't realize it might be racially charged until customers, including some blacks, started asking for the "Obama special."
