By now the world is just waking up to the reality that comedian, actor and humanitarian Robin Williams has passed away. This one is going to be a sad one. This feels almost unspeakable. Continued shock… We Americans are going to take it the worst. He was one of us, one of our own, one of our finest exports to the world. He started out as a rough and tumble comedian, trash talking a mile a minute, a big mass of hair and sweat. He was by all accounts a mess. But we loved him for it.
