I just logged into Drudge Report to check on what the hot stories were today. I thought it would be yet another Obama vs McCain vs Hillary story, but instead I was confronted with:

RIP, WFB

I did not have to click on the link to know who 'WFB' was.

William F Buckley was one of the main reasons I call myself a conservative. The story of how he built National Review, and energized the emerging conservative movement has inspired me and helped shape my political views over the years.

WFB's views and my views are almost identical down the line.

All I can say is at least he won't be around to watch the near communist Obama taking on the liberal McCain for president.

God speed, Mr. Buckley. We will miss your insights and guidance through the rough waters ahead.
