I assume he was cuffed too tightly by government goons or was trying to carry a displaced family across the border or something heroic like that, or fell while carrying a plasma TV maybe.

And in fact, since this blog's "Month Without God" ends tomorrow, I will start its "Month Without Buckley" this Saturday, March 1, and use that time to ask where conservatism goes from here -- and exactly which parts of conservatism are themselves worth conserving.
