RIP PJ O’Rourke

[LDAHL]

One of my favorite writers is gone.

The man who said “If government was a product, selling it would be illegal”.

[rosarugosa]

I remember him fondly from his days at Rolling Stone, back when we were loyal subscribers. I am sorry to hear of his death.

He once said he did drugs when he was young because it was fun, but stopped when he became a Republican. Not because he was against drugs, but as a Republican, he was against fun.

Yes! That is the way of our tribe.

Gosh, I know I liked PJ O'Rourke's writings but I can't remember a specific one I've read. But that quote is funny, oldhat.

[LDAHL]

I like what he said about a little government and a little luck being necessary in life, but you’d be a fool to trust either of them.
