The links didn't work..

...how can you go wrong with P.J.O'Rourke?

Although a pet-peeve of mine is misplacing Robin Hood: he stole from the government and gave to the citizens.

Thanks for sending Mr. O'Rourke. I seem to keep forgetting about him.

He's great, isn't he? I've got a few of his books. I love "All the Trouble in the World" and "Parliament of Whores" (a true classic). Also a good read is "Ceo of the Sofa". Very good stuff.

I've read "Peace Kills"

But it's "Parliament of Whores" I believe he is most known. I haven't read it. Didn't he receive the Pulitzer for this one?

Parliament of Whores

Don't remember that. He probably should have.

Your other site...

...has a quote from President Kennedy. Can you imagine a single democrat making such a statement today? My, how far have they fallen.

Yes, too many depend on the government for their every need.

The strength of the nation depends on individualism.

Good article.
