The world is poorer for his passing, but richer for having had the blessing of his life.

RIP, WFB.  I will miss you greatly.

The definition of "erudite."

Even passed on he is more intelligent than the smartest liberal alive today.

Rest well, good sir.

I'll miss Mr. Buckley. . .The National Review was my first introduction to conservatism and I would often go into the Barnes and Noble at UCF to read it with a cafe' con leche by my side. (often, it was neglected in the corner. . .probably only me, the original Kharis, and some assorted CR's would ghetto-read it)  I loved it and I love it's online cousin too ( John Derbyshire, "Jack Dunphy", and Thomas Sowell were my favorites) for giving me witty comebacks, new angles and just. . .a refreshing bit of media to devour.

Now, I wonder. . .will I ever get to see the likes of Mr. Buckley again? I say maybe, because franksolich can get downright Buckleyesque at times and when I first read his posts. . .I thought the next words on the screen would be, "Don't Immatize(sp!) the Echelelon(sp!) !!" (That's an REALLY old Buckley thing... I think Frank will get it if he can figure out my mispellings).

Godspeed, Mr. Buckley.

I heard Juan Williams say on FNC earlier, "he was the first conservative I can remember who wasn't a racist."   :whatever:
