PJ O'Rourke

Some of the most Glorious Invective I've read, ever. You should go read it all, but just for TravelGall, I've extracted the bit about the French.

"...France is a treasure to mankind. French ideas, French beliefs, and French actions form a sort of lodestone for humanity. Because a moral compass needle needs a butt end."
H/T to Timmy.

How come O'Rourke gets so agitato about lefties?There are n't any where he comes from and no left-inclined political parties.He might meet a few posing-as-lefties at cocktail parties I suppose.And there's the US with no national health service and millions (funnily enough poor people) without health insurance.Meanwhile the let-the-American-businessmen- get-on-with-it tendency has destroyed world capitalism.That's directly after they've destroyed World Communism.Losers or what?
