We lost a great man today. Who's Bill Buckley and why is he important to me, you might ask? Bill Buckley was the editor of National Review, but more importantly, he was the author of the Right Word. The Right Word is the book from which I learned the most important word of my daily vernacular, hypermammiferous. Rest in peace, Mr. Buckley.
Perhaps to pay homage to Mr. Buckley, someone could start a hypermammiferous ladies thread to remember the man and to cheer me up.

wow, I knew it would happen sooner or later. So know if I had to choose any person to have lunch with it would be charles krauthammer.
While I didn't necessarily agree, I damn near wanted- he was perhaps the greatest rhetorician of the century.
I personally believe he had to be a libertarian, but with such gross atrocities committed against against our property rights, he never had many opportunities to get into the subtleties that differentiate the Economic Conservative, and the Constitutional Libertarian.

Buckley was one of the great thinkers of his day. I'm just glad he didn't make it to the final act of W's total self implosion of the Republican Party this fall.

I went to school with a guy who Buckley put on the BoD (or whatever it's called) of the National Review. He wore a bow tie to class everyday.
True story.
