William F. Buckley can now watch everything you do

Because he's dead. And now he knows that you haven't been looking at my links. Those links were hand-crafted HTML; not some cookie-cutter blog template. Sure, they are now. But that's because blogger twisted my arm. Back in my day (2006) there were no templates. You had to sweat your way through lines and lines of tags, tables, cascading style sheets ... but I digress.

By now you all know who Bill Buckley was. I can call him Bill because I knew him before it was cool to know him. OK, it was never cool to know him. Nor did I "know" him so much as read his stuff on Townhall.com. Oh, did you know he dropped dead while writing a column. He was so cool. He even spoke with a British Accent, even though he's from America. Normally that would be pretentious (think Madonna), but with Buckley it was because ... well, I'm not sure come to think of it. Whatever, it was cool.

RIP Bill. If I'm ever up your way I'll swing by and pour a 40 over your grave.
