Fragment of a discussion from User talk:PeterL/LQT
P.J. O'Rourke didn't stop being a leftie because he got a job and a haircut. He stopped being a leftie because he's an asshole. (Man, that "evils of collectivism... creating... public-school" line still repulses me on so many levels.)
And don't compare yourself to him; you're funnier than he is.
Who's O'Rourke?
Also, I have a feeling that this isn't going to be a great term for the National government. But if this is anything to go by that's not going to be for good reasons.
