About the Author

P. J. O'Rourke has written nineteen books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics.

Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, a regular panelist on NPR's Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me, and editor-in-chief of the web magazine American Consequences. He lives in rural New England, as far away from the things he writes about as he can get.
