PJ O'Rourke goodness

PJ O'Rourke is the rare treasure of modern American letters - the great wit and thinker who only shares his thoughts on occasion as opposed to occasionally each day. Like Hitchens and Paglia, he sees no need to keep us updated on his every thought - as a man who does update whomever wants to know on his latest thought, I admire this. PJ is what Hunter Thompson could have been. Oh well.  His latest is wonderful. My favorite passage?

t's going to be hard to do a worse job running America than the Republicans did, but the Democrats can do it if anyone can.The Left is the party of government activism - the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, slimmer, taller, and take a dozen strokes off your golf game.The Right is the party that says government doesn't work. And then they get elected and prove it.
