But it turns out that he was a big Christian who also wrote for Breitbart and was pro Trump.

So he was dead already, inside.

That's sad.  He was head of research at AT&T Bell Labs in NJ while I was there for my Post-Doc.  He was well liked and a brilliant man.

Robert Wilson interviewed me for a job while I was there.  I didn't get it.

While it's not happy news that Melanie died, I have that damn screeching earworm stuck now and have for days.

Ohhhhh, I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key...

Aaargh!

I haven't laughed at anything quite so hard in the last five years as that sketch. Now my wife and I burst into laughter every time we hear the song.

You’re welcome. Smile

And that song is as much about rollers skates as Springsteen’s ‘Pink Cadillac’ is about a car.
