RIP PJ P'Rourke

P.J. O'Rourke has just died. I'll say this: nobody ever seemed to be having more fun than P.J. O'Rourke. As I said in 2008:

Ever since inexplicably picking up a PJ O'Rourke book in 1991, I've always had a mild fascination with him and vaguely wished I was him. Not that I agree with most or anything he ever says (although I do like his recent Adam Smith stuff), but I feel I would enjoy his lifestyle. Flop around in a tie and jacket from tv show to tv show, writing books and articles about whatever he wants. He can be smart if he wants, he can be funny when he wants, he agrees and disagrees with everybody. A blueblood who would still be fascinating to find yourself sitting next to at the Turkey's Nest.
