R.I.P, P.J.

The only funny conservative. Although he didn’t start out that way. As a National Lampoon writer, he wrote insightful policy pieces such as the classic ‘How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink‘.

This could have been written by Doug. In fact, I suspect it was:

I mean, so what if some fifty-eight-year-old butt-head gets a load on and starts playing Death Race 2000 in the rush-hour traffic jam? What kind of chance is he taking? He’s just waiting around to see what kind of cancer he gets anyway. 

Of course, everybody gets old. Even P.J. His sequel to the above 30 years later is – seriously:

‘How to Drive Fast When the Drugs are Mostly Lipitor, the Wing-Wang needs More Squeezing Than It Used to Before It Gets the Idea, and Spilling Your Drink Is No Problem If You Keep the Sippy Cups from When Your Kids Were Toddlers and Leave the Baby Seat in the Back Seat so that When You Get Pulled Over You Look Like a Perfectly Innocent Grandparent’.

I saw him live, and he was hilarious. The NatLamp guys are going quickly, and I am sad.
