What good news! Only a shame it didn't happen 60 years earlier.

Funny how terrible men seem to have a knack for reaching really old age. Kissinger too died at 100, and Trump seems poised to last a lot longer than he has any right to.

And now that we know, that might also explain why Chomsky is still around.
