    Terrible news. I worked with P.J. very briefly on an article in 2018, and was struck by his generosity and wit. The last email he sent me:

    I wanted to share with you all a letter PJ O'Rourke wrote to me on the death of my mother last year. (The original was hand-written ink on paper; this is a transcription.) This is the PJ we knew, and the one all his friends are mourning tonight.

    “Please don’t mention” Finlandization, says former Finnish PM . “It basically means we had to sacrifice and compromise some of the basic values we believed in, in order to survive as at the time a neutral state next to a grand aggressor, the Soviet Union.”

    Thread. You didn’t really think the censorship would stop at “critical race theory,” did you?

    “P.J. was what every writer hoped we might someday be: The best version of ourselves. Talented and kind. A champion for others. A workhorse. A wit and a gentleman. A writer. A tremendous writer.”

    “Oscar Wilde [said] ‘anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend’ but it takes ‘a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success…’ No matter how much success he saw, P.J.’s peers were never jealous…We cheered for him. We admired him.”

    "O’Rourke announced he was going to vote for Clinton, not Trump...'I thought he was unstable,' he said, and dangerous. 'I still do.' As time went on, he continued in that vein, describing himself as a member of the 'unorganized resistance' against Trump."

    P.J. O'Rourke, 1947-2022 I was very lucky to have lively and witty colleagues at The Weekly Standard. But P.J. was special. When he came by the office, the fun and wit went up a notch, sparks were in the air, and we all felt a certain joie de vivre. I cherish the memories.

    “‘Although this is a conservative book,’ O’Rourke explained, ‘it is not informed by any very elaborate political theory. I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.’”

    “The House campaign arm had a stark warning for Democrats: Unless they more forcefully confront the GOP’s ‘alarmingly potent’ culture war attacks, from critical race theory to defunding the police, they risk losing significant ground to Republicans.”

    “We created the liberty institute to make sure only state approved ideas can be discussed” is an exquisite summary of Republican views on free speech.

    I will not stand by and let looney Marxist UT professors poison the minds of young students with Critical Race Theory. We banned it in publicly funded K-12 and we will ban it in publicly funded higher ed. That’s why we created the Liberty Institute at UT.

    “Born and bred in Toledo, Ohio, P.J. was a champion of the great American middle. Indeed, his final book, from 2020, was titled ‘A Cry from the Far Middle: Dispatches from a Divided Land.’ He loved this country and reveled in it…”

    Here's P.J. O'Rourke talking with a year and a half ago about his "Cry From the Far Middle."

    This would have been the message from Fox News if it had been around in 1963: Martin Luther King deserves to be in a Birmingham Jail. Any politician who cites his letter from jail is soft on crime and pro-criminal. We need to ban that letter from being taught in any classroom.

    Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley, on Canada PM Justin Trudeau invoking emergency powers to deal with the "Freedom Convoy" blockade: "By this rationale, they could have cracked down on the Civil Rights movement. They could have arrested Martin Luther King."

    PJ O’Rourke was one of the nicest writers I ever had the pleasure of meeting and drinking and (very rarely) corresponding with. No reason whatsoever for him to be decent to some junior editor at one of the many outlets he wrote for, and yet. What a loss.

    P.J. O'Rourke was a brilliant, wonderful guy. Modest, despite his enormous talents. I don't know how he managed to look 45 for his whole life and I cannot believe he is gone.

    "Our country was founded by the delusional and the crazy, populated by the desperate and the unwilling, motivated by most of the Seven Deadly Sins, and is somehow...the richest and most powerful nation on earth, ever." -- P.J. O'Rourke, 1947-2022

    A hero and an inspiration. A brilliantly funny, sneaky smart writer and the ideal drinking companion. He did the impossible: he made you laugh at the bad news. Except for today. P. J. O’Rourke. Irreplaceable.
