I find out through Ann Coulter’s emailed column tonight that Joe Sobran passed away last week.
My friend Joe Sobran died last Thursday, and the world lost its greatest writer.
To my delight, some obituaries noted that he had influenced my writing style. I only wish I had known he was so close to the end so I could have seen him again to let him influence me some more.
Back in my courier days, CBS Radio – locally here on KRLD 1080 – would run a five-minute blurb near the top of the 1:00 hour (12:55).  They’d rotate the commentators – Sobran, pseudo-conservative & super-pseudo-brainiac Kevin Phillips and two others whose names escape me at the moment.  I always enjoyed Sobran’s commentaries immensely – Phillips’, not so much.
The world has, indeed, lost a great conservative intellect – and not at a great time, either.  Joe, we miss you already.
