RIP William F. Buckley, Jr.

The leading man behind the resurgence of conservatism in the post-WWII era died on Wednesday. He was 82. In addition to praise from Republicans and conservatives, I've seen it from Joe Lieberman (who Buckley actually helped get his Senate seat), Mario Cuomo, and Chris Matthews, along with various media outlets. Too much to link to, really, but if you don't know anything about the man, look something up.
