I love PJ. I have been hooked on him since Parliament of Whores which was glowlingly reviewed by none other than Richard M. Nixon. My favorite chapter dealing with the then excessive government spending of several hundred billion per year, was entitled something like, What the f--k, what the f--k, what the really f--king f--k, to paraphrase. I couldn't stop laughing. The I read Holidays from Hell where PJ decides to visit every warring hellhole in the world and write about it like a traveloque. In the midst of the Lebanon Civil War he goes through customs in Beirut. The guard inquired the purpose of his visit, "Tourism," PJ proclaims, to the collective disbelief of a Hezbollah division. How he survived that one is a mystery, but he made them stamp his passport to prove that he was there.

Another great one was Eat the Rich where he examines why some nations are rich and others are poor. Upon his trip to Africa, the answer becomes self evident.

Hope he has a few good ones left.

This is why he's one of Conservatism's greatest assets, maybe THE greatest among the punditry: He goes to see the results of Prog activity first-hand. There isn't a Prog alive who can say anything like the same.

One Chapter on the governmenrt is titled:

"Our Government: What the F--- do they do all day and Why Does It Cost So G--D--- Much Money?"



Or my favorit line about Agricultural Policy (describing insemniating a cow" : "I will Never forget the look on that cows face."... then.. "I had that same look, and for pretty much the same reason when I read the US agriculture report."
