Whoops.

He, apparently, according to the google search I just did was the author of _The Turner Diaries_. This isn’t the Pit, so I’ll not post what I think of him here.

Dammit. This is the second time this happened to me this week. But, as Tuckerfan points out, it probably should have been in the BBQ Pit anyway. So to summarize my original post:

William Pierce was a Nazi hate-monger.

Now he’s dead.

The rest of us live happily ever after. The End.

Yep. We threw a party in the Pit when it happened.
