P.J. O'Rourke Explains It All For You

When I was in High School, I made a good amount of cash renting my collection of National Lampoon magazines from my locker at lunch time. It was for me as close as I ever came to becoming a "Harry Lime"-like Black Marketeer. You kids today, you don't know how much a permanent locker on school grounds can do to improve the bottom line of the high school entrepreneur class. It seems that since I was in school, some jackass had to go and screw it up for everyone by insisting that his locker was really his property and couldnt be inspected. So what did the schools do? Of course, they took them out, forcing a generation of kids to go hunchback by carrying 7 periods of books and homework around in a backpack. Thanks alot jackass. you can pick up your democrat party registration down at the post office, ya dingbat...

And where does that leave kids like me, the ones that could get anything for anyone? Of course, were the ones with samsonite roller luggage. Backpacks are for suckers.

Anyway, One of my favorite writers at NatLamp back in the day was P.J. O'Rourke. Today, I, a former high school class clown and A/V Geek write a blog that espouses the virtues of conservativism, and P.J., Former head writer of the dangerous almost R, sometimes X rated magazine, National Lampoon, is now a writer for the Conservative Party Organ, The Weekly Standard.

This week P.J. Gives President Bush some advice. Enjoy.

Aint it funny how the world goes around?

UPDATE: Since so many have asked:


.25 for one issue, per day.
.50 for a copied cassette of 'Firesign Theater' - per day.
If you get caught, I deny everything, If you ruin them, you buy me two of next months issue at L&M Liquors on Auburn and San Juan, where the old chinese lady with one hand who ran the place asked no questions about your age, but the ATF agent who worked across the parking lot and went to church with your parents often did.

Did they sell? heck yeah! It was National Lampoon, not "Cracked" or Mad Magazine fer-cryin-out-loud. National Lampoon had naked girls in it! What did mad have, Don Martin, Spy vs. Spy? Come on man...

Shhh, Skynryd is on...
