William F. Buckley
As a devout non-intellectual, I’ll leave the tributes to those who would be, or at least are willing to take a stab at it. I just want to say I like the line about how he’d rather see the government of the United States in the hands of the first 400 people in the Boston phonebook than the faculty of Harvard. Let’s see, all A’s, no O’s, M’s N’s, F’s, G’s, K’s, L’s, R’s, W’s or even B’s. That pretty much means not the Boston Irish.
NRO’s announcement and remembrances here and here. A couple of highlights from NRO and other tributes: McCain, Lieberman, Malkin, Morrissey, Bainbridge, Joyner, Tigerhawk, Surber, briefly. Three from the archives at the Weekly Standard: Speaking Right; Write Like Bill; and Irving’s Whodunit.
Topics: deep thot, remembrance, tribute

Ahern(e), Adair, Agnew, Ardiff, Aisling, Abbey, Abbott et al.
I opened up the first pages of the Dublin White Pages. Just to scare the hell out of you, Jules, it should be noted that there are a lot of family names marked as “Abbas” today in Dublin.
Should the Buckley measure be adopted for the Dail, one would find it unusually Arabic.
