Rewinding The Tape Of The William F. Buckley Death Commentary


Tombstone Generator image ripped from the folks at Sadly, No!

The Sadly No'ers noticed something in K-Lo's initial post announcing William F. Buckley Jr.'s death on Wednesday:

He died while at work; if he had been given a choice on how to depart this world, I suspect that would have been exactly it. At home, still devoted to the war of ideas.

Doros62 appropriately asked:
Well, which is it? Did he die at work or at home?

Indeed! Of course, Mr. Buckley wrote his articles at home in Stamford, so we know what K-Lo meant. But I laughed really hard when I read that, and I think my girl thought I was nuts. It was late in the day. We were tired. And I was laughing uncontrollably as I was picking her up from her office.
