The Liberty Manifesto by P.J. O'Rourke P.J. O'Rourke is the Cato Institute's Mencken research fellow. He delivered these remarks at a May 6, 1993 gala dinner celebrating the opening of the Cato Institute's new headquarters in Washington. The Cato Institute has an unusual political cause which is no political cause whatsoever. We are here tonight to dedicate ourselves to that cause, to dedicate ourselves, in other words, to . . . nothing. We have no ideology, no agenda, no catechism, no dialectic, no plan for humanity. We have no "vision thing," as our ex-president would say, or, as our current president would say, we have no Hillary. All we have is the belief that people should do what people want to do, unless it causes harm to other people. And that had better be clear and provable harm. No nonsense about second-hand smoke or hurtful, insensitive language, please. I don't know what's good for you. You don't know what's good for me. We don't know what's good for mankind. And it sometimes seems as though we're the only people who don't. It may well be that, gathered right here in this room tonight,are all the people in the world who don't want to tell all the people in the world what to do. This is because we believe in freedom. Freedom what this country was established upon, what the Constitution was written to defend, what the Civil War was fought to perfect.

Table of Contents Additional information from the publisher Bibtex entries for all 52 chapters: handbook.bib Errata Jacket Description Jacob E. Goodman, co-founder and editor of , the preeminent journal on this area in the international mathematics and computer science community, joins forces with the distinguished computer scientist Joseph O'Rourk e and other well-known authorities to produce the definitive handbook on these two interrelated fields. Over the past decade or so, researchers and professionals in discrete geometry and the newer field of computational geometry have developed a highly productive collaborative relationship, where each area benefits from the methods and insights of the other . At the same time that discrete and computational geometry are becoming more closely identified, applications of the results of this work are being used in an increasing number of widely differing areas, from computer graphics and linear programming to m anufacturing and robotics. The authors have answered the need for a comprehensive handbook for workers in these and related fields, and for other users of the body of results.

It is important to understand Arab culture. Egypt seems a good place to start. Egypt is by far the most populous Arab state. And although Egypt is a poor country in per-capita-income terms, its economy is larger than Saudi Arabia's. Historically Egypt has been the most westward-looking of Arab countries. A Napoleonic invasion, an Albanian pasha named Muhammad Ali, and a British takeover gave Egyptians plenty to look at. The modern Islamist movement can be dated from the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood, by an Egyptian schoolteacher, Hassan al-Banna, in 1928. Two of Osama bin Laden's closest aides, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the late Muhammad Atef, came from Egypt, as did Mohammed Atta, who led the September 11 hijackings.

I have enjoyed P.J.s stuff in rolling stone in the past. As a real live liberal i like his sense of individual liberty, happinesss and the pursuit thereof. Politically i cant agree with his every statement, like complaining about liberals after his freedoms. Its the Repubs that built the war on drugs and all the prisons, so there is plenty of fascism to go around. This book strts off real slow, but by the end he had me cracking up. He is insidiously teasing the republican in all of us, mocking the greedy, environment be damned corporate controllers that own us all. I even found myeslf enjoying the car and driver articles which is astonishing considering that im a dyed in the wool pinko Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut >

ORourke is funny and smart. I could do without his Im-a-real-naughty-guy asides but he backs up his in-your-face opinions most of the time anyway with solid analysis. Its pretty clear that nobody reads ORourke except conservatives and libertarians. Everybody who has reviewed this book has given it high marks which tells me that everyone who has read it agrees with what ORourke has to say. A liberal would give it one star and attack it and his review would be worth reading if it was intelligently written an oxymoron, ORourke might say.

36. Parliament Of Whores, PJ ORourke, Review Parliament of Whores. 1991. PJ O Rourke. Vintage Books, NY. This is a book, or collection of essays, by a rightwing alcoholic, in http://capecodhistory.us/books/Parliament.htm

Parliament of Whores . 1991. PJ O'Rourke. Vintage Books, NY This is a book, or collection of essays, by a right-wing alcoholic, in which he sometimes wittily insults the whole government as being dysfunctional. He has a lucrative job, and likes his drugs, and is upset that the government wants some of his money and drugs. He makes a few good points (that is, I agree), but some of his arguments are weakened by his admittedly casual statistics and calculations. Farm policy does seem like a particularly egregious example of government and social stupidity. But the arguments against anti-poverty programs are poor, in that his numbers can also be viewed as demonstrating the positive value and point of those programs. People who complain may well be right, but to come up with good answers is much harder and more respectable. His discussion of the flag-burning case before the Supreme Court in the Bush administration is amusing and ambivalent. The justices even seem to have senses of humor. Among William Kunstler's arguments opposing the legislation: that it singles out one political symbol for protection, that it is viewpoint based because it proscribes conduct that shows disrespect for the flag but allows ceremonial burning of same and permits conduct that is dangerous to the flag, such as flying it in a hurricane. On the other hand, the flag burning could be considered "fighting words". With that in mind, offended individuals could understandably react violently. Some states passed laws permitting that defense. Which to me is still not reason for governments to pass laws defending and promoting flag worship.

Click Here to Visit our Sponsor P.J. O'Rourke Libertarian P. J. O'Rourke has been called "one of the funniest writers in America" by Time magazine, and "the funniest writer alive" by the Wall Street Journal. A former editor of National Lampoon, his articles have appeared in Playboy, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Parade, The New Republic and many others. He regularly writes for Rolling Stone. He is a Mencken Fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. He is the author of several best-selling books including: Parliament of Whores; Holidays in Hell; Republican Party Reptile; and All the Trouble in the World. Quotable: "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." "Our government gets more than thugs in a protection racket demand, more even than discarded first wives of famous rich men receive in divorce court. Then this government, swollen and arrogant with pelf, goes butting into our business. It checks the amount of tropical oils in our snack foods, tells us what kind of gasoline we can buy for our cars and how fast we can drive them, bosses us around about retirement, education and what's on TV; counts our noses and asks fresh questions about who's still living at home and how many bathrooms we have; decides whether the door to our office or shop should have steps or a wheelchair ramp; decrees the gender and complexion of the people to be hired there; lectures us on safe sex; dictates what we can sniff, smoke, and swallow; and waylays young men, ships them to distant places and tells them to shoot people they don't even know."

40. Orourke Book Review. Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut by PJ O Rourke. Another thing that any PJ O Rourke reader already knows, he IS funny. http://www.datasync.com/~pwilz/orourke.htm

Book Review Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut by P. J. O'Rourke P. J. O'Rourke's latest collection of essays follows his development from a 1960's radical wanna-be to a 1990's Republican supporter. At least, that's what I inferred from the book's description. It turns out that O'Rourke's style and humor haven't changed very much since the early 1970's where he worked for small "underground" magazines that were run by careless students. Has O'Rourke changed? No, but perhaps that's the point. Sure, he says he was a radical in the 60's, but was he really? I think the answer is no,. Maybe when it comes down to it, youthful idealism is something no one really has. Maybe it's just a thing one invents when one gets older and realizes that you've been struggling for years and have produced nothing. One thing can be said abot O'Rourke though, he doesn't miss his idealism one bit. He's honest. He says he liked the drugs and the sex, but when you get down to it nothing really happened. Another thing that any P. J. O'Rourke reader already knows, he IS funny. Like his attitudes, his humor hasn't changed since the 60's. When it's good, it's very good. When it's bad well, he's usually talking about golf or some other thing I can't relate to. His funniest one-liners are aimed at children of the 60's.
