A great loss. I didn't agree with some of the things he was saying in later years, but WFB dug and poured the concrete of America's conservative foundation.

RIP Mr. Buckley. I'll say a prayer for your soul.

National Review not the first to announce?

Frankly, I'm surprised that the NYT staff paused champagne cork popping long enough to get the news onto the wire.

Time to play the 3rd movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #2 in tribute.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
