William F. Buckley Jr. Dead At 82

There is a story just coming across Yahoo news, that author, and conservative commentator William F. Buckley Jr. has died at age 82.

His assistant Linda Bridges says Buckley died Wednesday morning at his home in Stamford, Conn. She says he had been ill with emphysema and was found dead by his cook.

Buckley became famous for his intellectual political writings in his magazine, the National Review, and his frequent television appearances, including on his own long-running "Firing Line."

Even though I am much less conservative than I used to be, I always found Mr. Buckley interesting to listen to, with his "superior" attitude always coming through in his words, and mannerisms. He was very informed, and provided great entertainment for someone like me, who watches nearly all of the "talking heads" political shows!!

Condolences to the Buckley family and friends, and may he Rest In Peace!! There is a link to the wikipedia biography for anyone who wants to know more about Mr. Buckley~~!!
