“Always read stuff that will make you
look good if you die when you’re right in the middle of it.” Wise words,
indeed, from "conservative humorist" (his description) P.J. O'Rourke.
Patrick Jake "P.J."
O'Rourke, who just turned 67, uses humor regularly in his role as a
conservative political satirist, journalist and creative writer.
You often hear him as one of the respondents on the hit public radio show
"Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me" (one of my weekly faves).
P.J. O’Rourke
A native of Toledo, Ohio, who now
makes his home "mostly" in Washington, DC, he's authored 20 books,
including the recent The Baby Boom: How It Got That Way (And It Wasn't
My Fault; And I'll Never Do It Again), even though, like me, he's IN the
Baby Boom generation.
