R.I.P. William F. Buckley Jr., Cavalier lover

William F. Buckley Jr. Is Dead at 82
William F. Buckley Jr., who marshaled polysyllabic exuberance, famously arched eyebrows and a refined, perspicacious mind to elevate conservatism to the center of American political discourse, died Wednesday at his home in Stamford, Conn. He was 82.

At first it would seem that the Nag would have little in common with Mr. Buckley. Little, that is, other than our insane love of Cavalier King Charles spaniels. Ronald Reagan also had Cavaliers. Are these canines for Conservatives? Maybe there's a tiny, right-wing Nag lurking just under the surface. Who knew?
