William F. Buckley Dead at 82

[lawrocket 3]

You know, there was always something about him that I liked. He had this way of using words nobody ever heard of.

"A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and the Holy Ghost on drums." - Hunter S. Thompson. Buckley responded: "Though one should be prepared to vomit rather frequently and disport with pink elephants and assorted grotesqueries while trying, often unsuccessfully, to makes one's way to the toilet."

And Buckley's magazine - the National Review - was an interesting rag that was unabashed in its leanings. Yet, it also was not quite so mean spirited as so many others.

WIlliam F. Buckley will be missed.

Yeah, I always got a kick out of the guy, even though I seldom agreed with him. A real gentleman. RIP Bill.

I remember his appearance on Laugh-In. He quipped "I agreed to do it when they offered to fly me out in an airplane with two right wings."

Never heard him talk without needing to go get my dictionary.

Loved Robin Williams impression. It starts about two minutes into his Mr. Rogers routine. (Just listen to the audio and ignore the pointless video someone put with it):

And now for the bad taste joke of the day:

I told you the conservative movement was dying.

I couldn't resist..... But hey, if we can make jokes about dead astronauts and such, Willy B. is fair game too!

I think he would laugh and disagree.
