1 "Cause of death not made public." I hope it will be. What's a "welfare check?" If not what we normally think it is, I mean? Was he someone in terrible health who needed constant watching, I wonder? There are a lot of questions here. 55 years old is too young to die of natural causes.


He was a heck of a writer, and, I suspect, a jim-dandy teacher. I loved his articles, but hadn't seen one recently, as I'd not had time to check Townhall lately.


He was one of those people who, upon encountering a hornet's nest, would poke it with a stick (figuratively). A number of his articles consisted of letters to opponents on the oh-so-liberal faculty of UNCW. One got the feeling he didn't have a lot of friends there, and didn't particularly want to.

2 Rather like Andrew Breitbart, and he died young as well.

Wonder what the good folks at Conservative Treehouse will dig up on this?

3 Good point. I believe the word on Breitbart was that he was a heavy smoker. I hope Dr. Adams didn't have an accident with one of his guns.

4 Yeah; me too. I guess we just have to wait and see what comes up.
