Quote of the Day

P. J. O'Rourke, writing for The Daily Beast about how he misses the late John Hughes.

John and I never bothered to talk much about our politics. What we did talk about was the 20th century’s dominant scrambled egghead bien pensant buttinski parlor pinko righty-tighty lefty-loosey nutfudge notion that middle-class American culture was junk, that middle-class Americans were passive dimbulbs, that America itself was a flop and that America’s suburbs were a living hell almost beyond the power of John Cheever’s words to describe.

Heck, yes, you guys talked politics. Hating the middle class, the suburbs, and the existing culture are very much identified with one party, and it ain't the GOP.
