Publisher Description
P.J. O'Rourke traces his development from hippie protester to conservative grouch to jaded humorist. Along the way, we are privy to his strange, twisted days as editor in chief of
National Lampoon, as well as the in-depth looks at appropriate sports for middle-aged Republicans, namely those which can be engaged in with a smuggled Havana between the teeth - fly-fishing, bird hunting, deep-sea fishing, and of course, golf. Plus, you'll hear O'Rourke's take on the Virtues of Automobiles - because what good was oil doing sitting in the ground for millions of years? - and many other hilarious rants in this off-the-wall collection by America's premier political humorist.
Customer Reviews
Abysmal sound quaility
Firstly, there is nothing wrong with material as P J O'Rourke was a brilliantly funny writer.
However, the sound quaility of the recording on this audiobook (and I speak as one who has listened to many audiobooks over the years) is abysmal - the narrator sounds as if he is speaking over a telephone line while underwater in a distant lake. I have requested a refund because having listened to this I have no desire to own it or listen to it ever again.
