Dean Barnett Dies

I'm profoundly sad to hear of Dean Barnett's death (read Hugh Hewitt's nice piece for more).

I first heard Dean on Hugh Hewitt's show a year or so ago and I was instantly charmed by his take on events and his good humor at everything around him. Unlike many a conservative talk show host, who tend to be sourpusses, Dean was always hunting for the silver lining, regardless of how dark the cloud might be.

Dean will be greatly missed.
