“Always
read stuff that will make you look good if you die when you’re right in the
middle of it.” – P.J. O'Rourke.
Patrick Jake "P.J."
O'Rourke, who turned 72 on Nov. 14, 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).
A native of Toledo, Ohio, who now
makes his home "mostly" in Washington, DC, he's authored 22 books,
including the 2018 bestseller, None of My Business: P.J. Explains Money,
Banking, Debt, Equity, Assets, Liabilities, and Why He's Not Rich and Neither
Are You.
O’Rourke
said judging who and what people are all about is easy to determine through the writer's art of observation. “People will tell
you anything,” he said, “ but what they do
is always the truth.”
