Best-selling humorist P.J. O'Rourke is back with his latest political masterpiece, DON'T VOTE - It Just Encourages the Bastards. Using his signature wit and keen observational skills, O'Rourke reflects on his forty year career as a political commentator, spanning his addled hippie youth to his current state of right-wing grouch maturity. Proclaiming his political stance as to the right of Rush Limbaugh, O'Rourke explores ideas ranging from why Americans love freedom and the founding fathers' unique perspective on the pursuit of happiness to the modern application of the Bill of Rights, an odd document of which Americans are inordinately proud, that guarantees their rights to Twitter, kvetch, and prevent the Pentagon from sending Marines to sleep on fold-out couches. Far from the typical high school textbook's survey of United States history, DON'T VOTE takes a hysterically sharp look at some of the most important issues Americans face today.
P. J. O'Rourke wrote more than twenty books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics.
Parliament of Whores and
Give War a Chance both reached #1 on the
New York Times bestseller list. He was a contributing editor at the
Weekly Standard, H. L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, a regular panellist on NPR's
Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me, and editor-in-chief of the web magazine
American Consequences. Long a resident of rural New England, as far away from the things he wrote about as he could get, he died in 2022 at the age of 74.
