R.I.P. WFB

William F. Buckley, Jr. died last week - man knows not his time.

Not only was he the founder of a great magazine - National Review - he was a towering intellect who had a winsome way of dealing with everyone, especially those with whom he disagreed. He made being a conservative cool. In my opinion, Buckley is just as reponsible for today's conservative movement as Ronald Reagan.
