If you don't already know, William F. Buckley, Jr. died yesturday. He was 82. Buckley is widely regarded as the father of the modern conservative movement. He was the founder of National Review a once great conservative magazine. I can't say I know much about Buckley, I've only read a few of his essays, and I've seen him on Hardball a few times. His writing was impressive, even if I almost always disagreed with it. I always thought that he had a really cool, almost untraceable, accent. For more on Buckley, check out this article by the great John B. Judis up at the New Republic.
