P.J. O'Rourke

Call this a shout-out. I love this man.

In his latest column in the July/August Atlantic, "I Agree With Me", he speaks of his political leanings:

I'm a little to the right of Rush Limbaugh. I'm so conservative that I approve of San Francisco City Hall marriages, adoption by same-sex couples, and New Hampshire's recently ordained Episcopal bishop. Gays want to get married, have children, and go to church. Next they'll be advocating school vouchers, boycotting HBO, and voting Republican.

And again, speaking of Bill O'Reilly's attempts to appeal to a wide audience:

He positions himself as a populist worried about illegal aliens' getting across the border and taking our jobs. (I'm worried about illegal aliens' not getting across the border and leaving us with jobs, such as mowing the lawn and painting the house.)

Maybe conservatives aren't as bad as I thought.

So who's goin?

After a little inconvenience and much support from the Frenchmen, Michael Moore got it done.

I was thinking about how silly this guy is at times, his over-exaggeration at least and misrepresentation of facts at worst. But then I said to myself HEY, if it gets the Bman out of office then let's show the flick all over. Then I thought that was wrong, given that I would be pissed at someone with different views who acted deceitfully to sway an election (politicians aside - that's a whole nother ball).

One Helluva Night

What would you do with $129,000? Here's what this man did. Ah, hormones and alcohol...

About us:

This weblog is an ongoing, if periodic, effort by several friends to stay in touch, in reading material, and in ideas.

Lucky Luciano is a former Italian Stallion real estate hustler and Benedict Arnold CEO turned shady lawyer-to-be. He lives in Denver.

Ben is a Paramedic and would-be philantropist who lives in Denver. He knows everything about nothing.

Fuzzy Dunlop lives in Manhattan. He is more than capable of standing up to the stresses of a high crime urban environment.

Jess is a teacher. But have YOU given her an apple? No, you haven't. You should be ashamed of yourself. This crazy feminist currently rests her copy of Awakening in Jersey City.

Matt is a pariah, iconoclast, and professor of gambling living in Oakland.

Miguel Sanchez is not Lionel Hutz.

Daddy Brooklyn lives in Brooklyn. He hates Republicans, though he wouldn't mind being ensconced in the landed elite of New York City.

Paul just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette.

Ziggy Stardust has no past.
