Only the good die young

Two scary-assed people died today:

Jesse Helms, Senator from NC whose life was spent fighting against civil rights for all (except white men with resources at their disposal). Fitting he should die on a day celebrated for independence from what was viewed as tyranny.

And scary for an entirely different reason, Larry Harmon, AKA Bozo the Clown. And well, clowns are terrifying for a whole other reason.

Both were in their 80s.
