William F. Buckley is dead.
Though even I don't think that "dancing on graves" is appropriate, when I heard that he was dead, I immediately thought of this: ( what follows is a debate from 1969 in which William F. Buckley is handed his ass by Noam Chomsky )
Now, I've said before that I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, purely for entertainment, two men who worship at the throne of Buckley. Hannity makes a big deal of holding debates with mouth-breathers like Al Sharpton, but I would give a kidney to see him try and debate Chomsky. Limbaugh constantly refers to "elitist" and "snobby" left-wingers, but I would challenge you to find a more pretentious ass than Buckley.
I'd really encourage anyone reading to watch both parts of the debate, it's pretty fascinating that an almost 40 year old debate is still INCREDIBLY relevant today, (it's about "relatively disinterested international interference")
And Chomsky, as I stated before, is a complete ninja.

Noam Chomsky is so my hero. I keep telling Tyson he's going to have to move to Boston with me one of these days while I get a Ph.D. in linguistics at MIT. (Although, after having been to Boston recently, he no longer really sees it as a threat, so I can't use it to make him do the dishes anymore.)
do you have a link to the rest of the vid?
