William F. Buckley, Jr. Online

Hillsdale College now has the complete writings of William F. Buckley Jr. archived and searchable online. I'm assuming, given all the restrictions that would normally apply through copyright law that Buckley must have helped arranged this--or at least signed off on it. It could be his final, and possibly greatest gift.

John Wohlstetter at Letter from the Capitol says that the transcripts of Firing Line programs are available at the Hoover Institute, but I'm not seeing how you can get them. A few of the programs are digitized and available in RealVideo, VHS, and DVD format. Let's hope Hoover has the resources to get the make the rest of them available.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:

1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.

Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
