P. J. O'RourkeP. J. O'Rourke Agriculture is a business that has been up to its bib overalls in politics since the first Thanksgiving dinner kickback to the Indians for subsidizing Pilgrim maize production with fish head fertilizer grants.
P. J. O'RourkeP. J. O'Rourke There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it.

P. J. O'RourkeP. J. O'Rourke There is a simple rule here, a rule of legislation, a rule of business, a rule of life: beyond a certain point, complexity is fraud.

P. J. O'RourkeP. J. O'Rourke The Communist bloc of old was a study in the failure of failure. Losers in the Soviet economy were the people at the end of the long lines for consumer goods. Worse losers were the people who had spent hours getting to the head of the line, only to be told that the goods were unavailable.
P. J. O'RourkeP. J. O'Rourke I don’t even know which end of a computer one is supposed to gaze into. I’ve never used a computer.
