PJ: The Right to Do as You Damn Well Please, and the Duty to Take the Consequences

Posted on February 25, 2022 by Stella

Bill Whittle and crew talk about PJ O’Rourke, who died this month from complications of lung cancer. He was 74.

“Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys,” O’Rourke famously wrote in 1991. He later described the presidency of Barack Obama as “the Carter administration in better sweaters.”

    PJ and I were born the same year. I remember the world he grew up and grew old in. Too young to die is all I can say.

    I listened to most of this, but I didn’t know anything about what they were talking about. I didn’t know who P.J. O’Rourke was before he died. And, I didn’t know about the other things they talked about.
