Syncro is currently away from the Internet, so he asked me to post Ann's column this week.

I hope that Ann lives long enough to write MY obituary, someday.

From anncoulter.com:

...After I made some point to Joe once, he paid me a compliment that describes exactly why it was so fun to be around him. He said, "Your mind is always going."

His body is gone, but I'm sure his mind is still going like gangbusters.

And I'm insanely jealous that he's giving God all the good belly laughs now. - Ann Coulter

Syncro is still up north in Alaska?

I’m glad Ann included Sobran’s description of Clinton, because I don’t recall reading it and it’s a delight!

Slow posting. Sorry if this posts twice (or more).

Sobran, again.

I didn’t know Joe Sobran had died. He was a terrifically sharp writer, a real pleasure to read.

Rest in peace, bud.

I hope that Ann lives long enough to write MY obituary, someday.

Among her many gifts, Ann is the MASTER of the heartfelt obituary.

For those of you who did not know this, check out these powerful eulogies, from her archives:

April 22, 2009 - NELL HUSBANDS MARTIN COULTER - her mother

January 9, 2008 - JOHN VINCENT COULTER - her father

March 18, 2009 - SILVER'S BRAVERY NOT AN ACT - actor/friend Ron Silver

February 27, 2008 - WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY: R.I.P., ENFANT TERRIBLE

Thanks RonDog!

In the '80s, Bill Buckley suggested that AIDS sufferers be required to get tattoos on their buttocks to protect other gays. As all hell broke loose over his proposal, Sobran simply suggested that it might borrow from Dante: "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."

LOL!

Ironically perhaps, I've often used a Sobran observation to explain why I have a greater affinity to Israel than to the Muslim world after 9/11: Watching a death-match fight on Animal Planet once, Joe said he found himself instinctively rooting for the mammal over the reptile.

Bingo! I'll have to look up Sobran's writings.

Thanks for filling in for Syncro.

My friend Joe Sobran died last Thursday, and the world lost its greatest writer.

Oh! First I've heard of this. I remember reading him years and years ago, when I got National Review.

Thanks Ron and mine too!
