A Fitting Tribute

Rich did not go unnoticed in death. The Kansas City Scar ran a short article by Dave Helling, and his former pupil Ramesh Ponnuru noted his passing in National Review Online. Jack Cashill, naturally, wrote a nice piece on the Minuteman blog (not the natural place, given Rich's most recent work on immigration policy). Tom Donelson weighed in (and drew an amusing anti-semitic idiot comment that would have cracked Rich up).

But what pleased me the most, as a friend, admirer, former employee/protégé, was what has to be the longest obituary ever written. Half policy dissertation, filled with details not normally considered appropriate to the form, this is the sort of obituary Rich would have appreciated.
