RIP Dr Charles Krauthammer

[Trevor]

An amazing intellect and a brave person who did not let the fact that he was in a wheelchair stop him from living life to the fullest: I didn't always agree with him but his insight and his humor will be missed greatly.

One funny story I heard about him was his celebration of Christmas: he would spend hours and hours locked in his son's room watching movie marathons with his son: he would always ask his wife to "now and again throw food at us". 

RIP Dr Charles.

I consider him the last of the great conservative intellectuals.  I will miss his writing, and his always insightful commentary.

Agreed: his book Things That Matter is brilliant, especially the chapter on his brother.

Never heard of him, but that's an awesome name! Could be even better with the germanic form of Charles, though.
