Shirley Ujest, BiblioCat: You’ve probably confused him with his (much better known) father, Emmett Kelly Sr., who died in 1979.
Jeane Kirkpatrick , former UN representative for the U.S. has died at 80.
This one ain’t over yet, there’s still lots of dying to do.

Oops two posts in a row. Ahmet Ertegun co-founder of Atlantic Records (Booger played him in Ray) is in a coma with a brain injury he suffered during a fall. I don’t know if anyone had him but it might be an easy 17 points if he can hold out for next year.
Wouldn’t you if your name was Freda?
Sssshhh!
