faint praise. and snickers. P.J. O'Rourke, former editor of the old National Lampoon magazine from the 70's (the most non PC and hilarious rag ever published), author of the short story First Blowjob , member of the prestigious conservative 'tank the CATO Institute, humorist, author of many funnybooks ( your homework: read Parliament of Whores ; it explains so much) has endorsed Hillary Clinton, sorta, kinda, maybe. Link: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/11/p-j-o-rourke-i-m-endorsing-hillary-clinton-the-devil-we-know.html You must read this. You simply must. It's classic PJ. Read all his books, you'll not be dissapointed. Especially Holidays in Hell, Don't Vote, It Just Encourages the Bastards, etc. An excerpt: (sung to the tune of Your a Mean One, Mr. Grinch): You’re a smug one, Hillary, You really are a snoot, You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as a newt, Hillary, You’re a bad banana in an garish and expensive power suit! You’re a limousine liberal, Hillary, Your heart’s an empty hole, Your brain is full of Sidney Blumenthal, you have boiled kale in your soul, Hillary, I endorse you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! ... Heh. Whatta gem. zimboe has issued a correction as of 14:46 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Errata: Endersement? Maybe he was in Na Joisey at the time. Link to a video wich may not work: http://wonkette.com/601578/pj-orourke-hopes-to-do-for-donald-trump-what-he-did-to-national-lampoon Excerpt: "The Republicans finally got all thier poo poo in a single bag, wrapped a suit around it and behold! Donald Trump." e: And another thing: ALL CANDIDATES SUCK. In all honesty, that should be the subforum title. Refute my reasoning.

A hysterical game show parody, which I thinks should be resurrected as a real game show.Check it out, it's funny as poo poo. Where they throw prizes to the contestants from the top of a ten-story building. gently caress I'm a genius. I should be working for Showtime.

IN 1884, MERIDIAN TIME PERSONNEL MET IN WASHINGTON TO CHANGE EARTH TIME. First words said was that only 1 day could be used on EArth to not change the 1 day bible. SO THEY APPLIED THE 1DAY.... AND IGNORED THE OTHER 3 DAYS. The bible time was wrong then and it proved wrong today. THIS IS A MAJOR LIE has so much evil feed from it's wrong.

Al! posted:like pj o'rourke's appeal, I don't understand he's genuinely pretty drat funny, but just the idea that 'funny dude' translates to 'also very smart and wise' is always absurd no matter what side does it. He pretty much got his CATO slot because he was someone decently known who agreed with their poo poo and it snowballed from there into pretending he's some beacon of wisdom. But yea as for appeal in general hell I disagree with near everything he's said as a genuine opinion but I still like his stuff, dude's got a good sense of humor if you like the gonzo poo poo.

He peaked like 25 years ago, so we're seeing a guy who was 40% funny 60% rear end in a top hat in his prime a generation ago now running on creative fumes. I am not surprised he looked at Trump and went LOL gently caress THIS poo poo though. PJ's politics are hot garbage but he's not quite THAT stupid.

i read his books when i was kid, right alongside the dave barry ones, and maybe he's part of why i was a loving high school chickenhawk but i did like his writing. haven't revisited it once since. let's see what i think of this article yeah that was a lovely article. i swear in the 80s/90s he at least wrote in paragraphs. that was kind of depressing to read. good to know i left something behind at the right time i guess like, there was one about his international travels and it was all right wing and un-pc and poo poo but i feel like i picked up some knowledge that i haven't had to burn out of my brain with a cigarette lighter since, like he at least put in a fairly poignant anti-apartheid essay in my high school opinion. i don't know anything about this radio poo poo, i bet that's excruciating, i can barely stand listening to the good npr edit: in an era when we're collecting every random-rear end republican who endorses hillary it's nice to know we can throw the corpse of the funny one on the pile editedit: i bet this explains my politics and my sense of humor loll oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 03:19 on Jun 19, 2016 |
