RIP P.J. O'Rourke
The Great Satirist, writer for National Lampoon and co-creator of the 1964 Keefauver HS Yearbook parody. He was a unicorn: a truly hilarious conservative pundit. A great writer. He'll be missed. Story: https://www.the-sun.com/news/4694538...-orourke-dead/

Phew.
I just watched Stripes and initially read this as P.J. Soles. Man she was just adorable.

As an observer of government and public officials I think he was too clever for who's out there nowadays. A guy who really changed his spots over the years. RIP.

A very unique individual. I remember as late teen early 20s guy reading some of his stuff and it took me years to appreciate him.
Very talented.

RIP PJ
In 1970 my oldest brother had our mother pickup the what I believe was the first issue of NL at Thriftway grocery magazine isle. It became a request if the new issue was out get it for us. Soon mom said screw this and got us a subscription. I would laugh hysterically in my room. It started a subscription that last to the end when they published the last. So many funny writers thanks Doug Kenny and Henry Beard RIP Cheesecake ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

The three magazines that I read from cover to cover each month as a teen were "National Lampoon", "Creem", and "High Times."
Guess that's why I turned out like I did... |
