R.I.P. WFB

Your witty wisdom will be with us always.

Your command of language was impeccable.

You called Gore Vidal a queer and threatened to slug him.

For founding modern conservatism and giving us a damned good magazine, we are for ever in your debt.

May God bless you and have mercy upon you.

William F. Buckley, Jr., Dead at 82.

I hope those of you who were eligible to vote today did.

I won't say who I voted for, but I'll give you a clue - It was a guy.

I got another gig.

DogOnCrackHouse is the place.

It's run by a guy I met over at The Activity Pit, a Red Eye fan site. (If you will look at my right side bar, you will see a link to the site which contains my lovely face.)

Check it!
