William Buckley has passed. Go here to read the various Blog postings about it.
I wrote a special editorial about it. I wish it could have been more in depth, But I really didn’t have a intimate knowledge of the guy. I worked with that which I had to draw from.
I will say this. I have read some of the Blog reactions about the passing of the man. Most were decent, but some, quite frankly, were downright nasty. These people are bastards, all of them. 
Why do I say this? I unwittingly insulted the dead wife of a man. To this day, I still feel horrible about it. How these soulless bastards can do this sort of a thing, intentionally, and sleep at night, is quite beyond me. It’s uncalled for, it cheapens the discourse and quite frankly, it ruins the creditability of the Blogging World.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Buckley. You have earned your eternal reward.
