Charles Krauthammer and his brother.

I always read Charles Krauthammer's columns in The Washington Post or otherwise. He leans to the right quite a bit but he is an outstanding writer. There are times when I disagree with him more often than not but he is definitely one of the more principled conservatives. His recent column in The Washington Post was about his brother and his passing away. It is one of the most emotional pieces I have read. It is so understated and subtle yet makes you teary by the end of it. I have a brother amongst other siblings and I can completely understand where he comes from. The column touched a cord somewhere and it is a great piece of writing. I would highly recommend the piece. My favorite line is: "Whenever I look at that picture, I know what we were thinking at the moment it was taken: It will forever be thus. Ever brothers. Ever young. Ever summer." I became a bit emotional after reading it and had to go out for a smoke after that. You can read the column here.
