William F. Buckley passed away today, reportedly sitting at his desk; he was 82 years old. The conservative commentator and founder of The National Review was honored by President Bush and Senator John McCain today. Buckley suffered from emphysema, but his death was still considered a surprise by friends and family. According to his obit on CNN, Buckley published 50 books, visited every continent, and was a very good harpsichord player. Lurch would have been proud ... maybe they are playing the harpsichord together now.
