William F. Buckley, Jr. (1925-2008)
No matter where you sit on the political spectrum, only the small-minded and single issue freaks would fail to acknowledge that Bill Buckley was a powerful intellect, one of the most influential writer-thinkers of the last century, and a true Renaissance Man. A class act on a level with Voltaire and Disraeli. Everyone has lost a mega-smart if patrician friend--and one who respected language and loved ideas.

UK: The Erudite, The Good, The Sultry, The Insane.
We--the habitually insular Yanks--are not alone. Some fancy Brit lawyers with blogs: Charon QC, Justin Patten, dearest Ruthie, and finally IP barrister GeekLawyer, who just caught the attention of Ed. at Blawg Review. And there's lots of notable non-US blogs of all manner on your left if you scroll down a bit--and lots of legal and business talent you can use across all those big ponds, friends.

The politics of being a righteous dude.
Or Guy-ness in America in the 2008 election. Male bonding. John and Obama being guys to have a beer with. Hillary-bashing. And "I'll show you something primary, wench..." From the liberal but way-manly Salon: "The Dude Vote".
