* When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.
I think that was originally Twain, though Twain (and Mencken) would definitely be PJ fans today.
Here's some early PJ stuff, and perhaps the most politically incorrect thing online today: Foreigners Around The World.
Yes, I picked my own ethnicity for the link on purpose. >:)

One of my favorite quotes attributed to P.J. is:
Age and guile beat youth and a bad haircut every day of the week.
To: TheBigB
I went to the same HS as PJ (albeit long after he'd left) Please add me to the ping list.

Adult is NOT something you know yet. nor ever. Lighten up, Francis.

Nay, you're just locking yourself into a six-year-olds mind, with a sixteen year-olds hormones achieved by alcohol toxicity and pharmeceuticals legal and bought-over-the-internet. TheBigB does not drink or use drugs.

To: bvw; TheBigB
But, as ever -- or as was ever and less so as some may live to see -- fools line up for the fool's parade. Piper pipe and drummer drum -- and you'll be leading your sterile and child-man buddies over the cliffs. Speaking of using drugs...

("Therefore it is the finding of this court, we shall no longer be governed by "We the people"...")
To: E Rocc
D'oh! Yes, that does sound like something Twain would have said. Or Mencken, or Ambrose Bierce, for that matter.
Thanks so much for the link -- I laughed myself silly. Since my own ethnicity, the Irish, were not spared, I felt okay about that:)

(Was Abe Lincoln a "chickenhawk?")
To: CWOJackson
Everything Hunter S Thompson could have been...but never will be. Go PJ!I think Thompson lost his mind about 20 years ago, about the time he started target shooting and using dynamite around Aspen in the middle of the night. He grew brightest right before the cold waves of insanity extinguished his mind. argh.

And one of my favorites, from my page:

I read PARLIMENT OF WHORES years ago. I think I will get it out and re-read it. I remember I really enjoyed it.
