Instead of an AIDS bill, why not AIDS itself?

I propose trumping North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s idea of naming an AIDS bill after Jesse Helms.

Let’s just name AIDS itself after Jesse Helms.

Arguably, he may have had as much influence on AIDS’ spread in the United States as any other single person, so it would be appropriate, too.

So, there you have it.

On this blog, until further notice, we will refer to Helms’ disease.
