Was he the one who said he got his wife a pair of cleated shoes for Christmas so that she wouldn’t slip when she was cleaning the ice off his car?

Yes, that was him. He also told a story about buying his wife a vacuum cleaner for her birthday.

He’s one of the people I have pegged for ‘Dinner & Cigars’ once we’re all in Heaven, together. ;)

Rush, Walter Williams, Mark Stein, Thomas Sowell & me.

FWIW, I’m just going to sit there and listen while enjoying a Swisher Sweet. ;)

I’m not holding my breath before the “local” paper, The WaPo, reports it.

Thanks for the link. I hate to criticize an otherwise balanced article, but to call Dr. Williams a “conservative” is misleading. He was most certainly a libertarian, but there is nothing in the article to suggest that he was also a conservative. Maybe he was, maybe not.

” I would trade a dozen Ginsberg’s for one Walter Williams.”

I’ll see that and raise you an entire Dim party and a few ex-Presidents.

“Has this been confirmed?”

Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote a piece on his passing. I’d call that confirmation.
