William F. Buckley Jr. 1925-2008

From National Review's mission statement:
Radical conservatives in this country have an interesting time of it, for when they are not being suppressed or mutilated by the Liberals, they are being ignored or humiliated by a great many of those of the well-fed Right, whose ignorance and amorality have never been exaggerated for the same reason that one cannot exaggerate infinity.
Even more true today, perhaps, than in 1955.

Afterthought. On the other hand, this obituary is considerably less than heartbroken.
