The great American journalist and satirist PJ O’Rourke has died. He contributed a number of articles to The Spectator over the years.

[SpaceBar]

Lots of little O’Rourke quotes attributed or otherwise, have permeated the comments section of this forum for years to the informed reader.

One? Just one godd$@m thread?

“How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink.”

And don’t worry about the heroin making you vomit. It’s a rental.

“I was on the train on my way downtown to my office I was reading one of his books, and I just burst out laughing, loudly and uncontrollably, with tears running down my cheeks. People on the train looked at me like I was nuts. And I didn’t care.”

I love this. It’s actually making me kind of teary-eyed, sort of like what PJ sometimes did with his pen; on occasion he would make you laugh and cry at the same time, although this time it’s just knowing he’s gone that brings on the sad.

Condolences to family and friends.

I still have copies of those, and many issues of the monthly magazine, put away in a box somewhere.

“...although this time it’s just knowing he’s gone that brings on the sad.”

Yes, it does.

I recall that.

I thought he was YOUNGER!

[GraceG]

Rest in peace PJ!

I loved the dummie funnies videos you made!

He went back to New Republic the genesis of many second wave neocons like Kristol and Krauthammer and Barnes and Kondracke

And Rolling Stone where I first saw him

He wrote like a merry prankster

“There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible.”

He pretty much doubled-down on that.

Yes, he did. He should have learned from Trump's brilliant first term that he could be trusted. That did not happen, and I don't understand why.

[Rummyfan]

RIP PJ. I enjoyed your writings tremendously. We have lost a voice for sanity in our dark days.

Liberals have invented whole college majors—psychology, sociology and women's studies—to prove that nothing is anybody's fault. — P.J. O’Rourke

Who among us hasn't done th- wait, what?
