For some reason I thought of the guy that you used to recommend for the opinions that he posted, I guess, on a website. I really liked that guy. I think his name was Charlie Reese, or something like that. I remember that he died, and that I wasn’t able to access his stuff after that.

I’m wondering now if you know anything about how I might be able to access his thoughts.

I hadn't heard that he died, but it wouldn't surprise me. I started reading his columns in the 1970s and he was an older military vet back then. He wrote in the Orlando Sentinel, although he was syndicated later. You might find some of his columns in the Orlando Sentinel archives, but you might have to subscribe to get access to them.

His best known column was "The 545 People Responsible for America's Woes," which he first wrote in 1984 and updated several times (535 members of Congress, the President, and the nine Supreme Court justices). Various versions are available on the internet. Here's one that's not behind a paywall.

Charlie Reese has been gone quite a while. He passes May 21, 2013.

He doesn’t appear to have been given a RIP notice here.
