Regardless of whether or not you were drinking Bill Buckley's cool-aid, his responses to the infamous "Letters To The Editor" section of the National Review were priceless (a collection was made up of the best ones, perfect for a coffee-table addition, go to amazon and lookup "Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription")

I was glad to see a mention of his passing on here, he was definitely someone who loved to write, not only was he the editor of the National Review, but apparently he's also written over 55 books.... that's ridiculous when you think about how long it takes just to even write a thank you note to a friend.

I wrote more on his life/writings here if you're interested:
