Rest In Peace

Posted by TRO on February 28, 2008

William F. Buckley, Jr., the father of modern conservatism, passed away yesterday. Had I not been in bed with this horrid cold I would have posted something then, but noting such a momentous passing is necessary even if a day late.

If you are interested in this great man, check out the on-line version of the conservative magazine he created here, as they have much to say about his life.  (I read it daily, you should too.)

The world, and especially America, is a poorer place without him.
