PJ O'Rourke was the only reason I ever read Rolling Stone. The link to the Brietbart article is very interesting. There is no doubt Lena is lying about something here. If I was the Barry who was smeared by here... I'd be lawyering up.

The last 28-year-old who could have written a memoir worth reading was Alexander the Great in 328 B.C., after he’d conquered the known world, but he was too busy conquering the rest of the world to write it.

P J O'Rourke is the best.

If his daughters really are named Poppet and Muffin, he should be taken out and shot.

“I was under the impression that “girls” is a demeaning term for adult women. The title must have something to do with this hipster “Irony” thing, which I confess I don’t understand. The root of the word irony is in the Greek eironeia, “liar.””

It’s all about refusing to grow up.

The young people in Girls are miserable, peevish, depressed, hate their bodies, themselves, their life, and each other. They occupy apartments with the size and charm of the janitor’s closet, shared by The Abominable Roommate. They dress in clothing from the flophouse lost-and-found and are groomed with a hacksaw and gravel rake. They are tattooed all over with things that don’t even look like things the way a anchor or a mermaid or a heart inscribed “Mom” does, and they’re only a few years older than my daughters.

The characters in Girls take drugs. They “hook up” in a manner that makes the casual sex of the 1960s seem like an arranged marriage in Oman. And they drink and they vomit and they drink and they vomit and they drink and they vomit.

They must have spent hours in makeup with Lena for that picture. She looks almost normal. Every other picture I have seen (not that many, admittedly), she looked, well, like she was dressed in clothing from the flophouse lost-and-found and groomed with a hacksaw and gravel rake.
