Title: William F Buckley is Dead
Post by: Arachno-capitalist on February 27, 2008, 11:22:52 pm

Now theres a man who knew how to debate. His discussions with the likes of Noam Chomsky are the kinds of things we need on TV for the Kids these days.

Isn't all that done on You Tube these days?  TV is so last millennium.

That's a shame.  Didn't agree with his politics at all, but he was civilized and erudite.  I admired him for that.  He wrote a few good spy novels too.

I thought these were supposed to have exclamation points... "William F Buckley is dead!"

Didn't agree with him a lick, but even in death I'd rather listen to him than Ann Coulter.

True.  Plus they're usually in History, presumably since the subjects are now a part of it.

Have It Your Way^®, I guess.

White shirt and black Brooks Brothers suit, back on the rack
William F. Buckley's dead

I can't be the only person to have noticed that "William F. Buckley" and "Bela Lugosi" have identical meter.
Also, I can't help but feel like I'm going to hell for this.
Also, here's some even smaller text.
Okay, I am going to stop with the tiny text now.
I lied.  I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, 4pt was still kind of legible to me.  Now I am going to stop.
