He lived a good, long life, was the worthy successor to people like Booker T. Washington, and there will be those ready to take his place. I never met him here; I look forward to meeting him in heaven. RIP, Dr. Williams.

I used to love his stories about how he would buy a snow shovel and crampons for his wife so she would be safer getting around while clearing the driveway after a storm. A man of GREAT compassion.

You will be missed, Mr. Williams...RIP.

The average IQ of Humanity suddenly dropped 10 points overnight.

Old news, we achieved Idiocracy back in the spring. We’ve truly flattened the IQ curve.

Has anyone seen any confirmation that Williams has passed?

I hope some of those shows find their way onto the internet.

As with many, Walter Williams along with Thomas Sowell came into my life via Rush. During one show, Williams mentioned the “Economist” magazine. G. Gordon Liddy also mentioned the magazine, so I bought a copy. Williams also talked of Hayek, so I bought two of his books. That began an amazing journey for me. I returned to school and ended up getting a Masters in Public Administration with a strength in Public Policy. During a 6.5 hour exam, with a stack of books about four feet high next to my desk, I wrote four mini essays. On my desk were three books one by Hayek, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. Whenever I became stuck trying to make a point on policy, those three books unstuck me.

I could have easily been voted most likely not to succeed in high school. Not dumb just no common sense. I sent an email to Walter Williams thanking him. Not sure he ever got it or had any idea how he, Rush and Thomas Sowell changed my life.

No doubt a lovely soul, and less doubt he’s one the “adorable” Maxine Water’s would “never forgive” for being a conservative black American. (eh? I am sure Mr. Williams thought about Maxine less than even I do!)

He was brilliant in linking economics to something easily understandable. I missed him guest hosting for Rush. He always gave a good laugh about him buying his wife a new vacuum cleaner or dish washer for Christmas.

RIP.

I always loved his sense of humor about pretty much everything, particularly the way he would bait young feminist types when he subbed for Rush.

RIP

And freaking Soros keeps on breathing. I’m guessing even the devil doesn’t want the SOB.
