Conservative Humor Alert

Read P. J. O'Rourke's idea of what a commencement address should be, but almost never is. The L.A. Times article is funny and pretty much truthful at the same time. For example, he says:
I am here to advocate for unfairness. I've got a 10-year-old at home. She's always saying, "That's not fair." When she says this, I say, "Honey, you're cute. That's not fair. Your family is pretty well off. That's not fair. You were born in America. That's not fair. Darling, you had better pray to God that things don't start getting fair for you." What we need is more income, even if it means a bigger income disparity gap.

O'Rourke is mining the same vein that Ann Coulter works, give it a look. I've got a nephew whose 17 year old stepdaughter needs to hear these exact words.
