This loss hurts. I just ordered 4 of his books and had them sent to a good younger friend’s house.

Holidays in Hell
Republican Party Reptile
Parliament of Whores
All the Troubles in the World

Hope she enjoys them as much as I when I was in college. I need to read his stuff again myself. :(

Way sorry. He knew how to stick it to the Left . . . with humor.

I was really sad to learn this. I’ll have to re-read “Holidays in Hell” and have a few drinks!

The world’s greatest satirist was Free Republic’s own Firehat. All others paled in comparison. Firehat was to satire what HP Lovecraft was to horror.

I was there and actually entered East Berlin in 1982, just before the wall came down as well. It was a stark reminder of what this country is headed for if it doesn’t change its ways. I went into a shoe store, that had about 100 pairs of shoes on the shelves with a line around the corner to get in before the shoes ran out. Of course, the price was very cheap. Also, the parking areas were filled with cheap Russian imports, all the same model, with about 3 or 4 different colors. A guy told me that he had to be on a list for 4 years just for the right to buy one of these “imports”. Things were relatively cheap, but no one had any stock to sell, of anything. I also got a piece of the wall a few months later. Anyone that touts the ‘benefit’ of socialism should spend some time in these hell holes to see how it really works. Of course what East Berlin had an abundance of in that day were government owned “Schwimmhalles”, which were free so everyone became a great swimmer.

I’m not sure how to post this article by PJ:”High Speed Performance Characteristics of Pickup Trucks”.

This is the link:

Another brilliant voice silenced.

And fat Michael Moore continues to waste oxygen.

I’m more than sorrowful to read this news. This is kind of hitting like a kick in the stomach. I’ve adored PJ for decades. Rest in peace and God bless his eternal soul.

No, he wasn’t. He voted for Hillary.

Screw him.

Wasn’t going to say anything til I saw John “The Pud” wrote this. Pud is an evil man, a total warmonter anti-Trumper. As for P.J., God rest his soul. I never found him all that funny.

Instead, I looked to American Spectator’s “Continuing Crisis.”

But hey, that’s just me. Different humor for different people.
