When we lose a few more of these old actual journalists there will be nothing left but press illiteracy from coast to coast.

I am amazed that P.J. and Tom Wolfe used to be mainstays in Rolling Stone magazine. Never happen today.

Sad news. I’ll have to uncork the good bourbon and have a snort to help speed him on his journey.

Ugh, this one hurts as much as losing Tom Wolfe. Two of my favorite authors.

A sad day, for sure. My favorite: “...in a democracy, the whores are us.”

I seem to remember P.J. O'Rourke appearing on an episode of Crossfire, where he observed (quoting from memory), "Liberalism is immoral." Michael Kinsley actually looked shocked,and asked how anyone could say such a thing. IIRC, Mr. O'Rourke responded: "Because you can't get into heaven by giving your neighbor's bank account to the poor."

The man was one in a million...

Jimmy Carter had a grin like a raccoon eating fish guts out of a wire brush. I LOL every time I think of that quote.
