P. J. O'Rourke

His political future now rests with Donald Trump.

Now, as far as Republicans having so much time off, look, PJ O'Rourke said this years ago, Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they have the candidates to prove it.

You know, they want to get in there and not do anything.

But as far as this vote, look, I think the reason why Mike Johnson closed this down, your your question, Brian, about whether or not it will work.

But let's let the health care system be one that empowers doctors and patients rather than the government making our health care decisions for us.

PJ O'Rourke, the American humorist, who unfortunately is no longer with us, but he used to always say, if you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's free.

And that is so true.

Very, very expensive.

So, yeah, that'll be interesting to see how much music I'm sharing in a few months.

Yeah, PJ O'Rourke said having one child is like having a pet and having two is like running a zoo.

i think that'll give you a good idea of the difference between between one and two kids yeah it's going to be

interesting

And there was a very serious, you know, National Lampoons.

You had P.J. O'Rourke writing I think was it PJ O'Rourke, doing this incredible foreigners of the world, which is like the most offensive thing you could ever possibly imagine.

And it's just him cutting his teeth, you know? So it's kind of this...

where young guys can write really honest stuff and get really serious editing.

I do not agree with that.

PJ O'Rourke's comment about women waking up next to Obama.

So he is a Republican.

The one thing I did laugh at is when he was talking about the Republican candidates, Bill Maher goes...

a little bit of question begging in here, too, that I'd just like to address real quick before we move on, which is the notion that this is going to be profitable somehow.

You know, as PJ O'Rourke famously observed in Iraq, man, that's really expensive to steal oil.

You know, doing this sort of thing rather than just buying oil at market prices is almost never something that's going to work out from an economic point of view.

And it's not as though we've got U.S. refineries saying, man, what we could really use, you know, is just some more crude oil because we just don't have access to the stuff we need to put into our refineries to make gasoline and other fuels out of.

I haven't talked to him literally in many years.

Um, he posted something, hat tip to Michael Quinn Sullivan, something P.J. O'Rourke said, and P.J. O'Rourke was unique.

He was sort of a, uh, Mark Twain of our time.

He said, "At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child.
