P.j. O'Rourke

One of the greatest satirical writers of our time. If you find any of his early National Lampoon articles or Car & Driver articles, he proves anything can be funny. His book about the first war in Iraq, Give War A Chance is a masterpiece. If you are in junior high or high school and seeking to understand how our government works (or doesn't), read Parliment of Whores (apt description of congress).
