P.J. O'Rourke is Americas leading political humorist and the best-selling author of 11 books. After graduating from Miami University and attending the graduate program at Johns Hopkins, ORourke began his career of skewering both the left and the right on the ends of his razor-sharp one-liners. Among the many publications for which ORourke has written are
The National Lampoon for which he was editor-in-chief,
Automobile,
American Spectator, Playboy, Esquire, Vanity Fair, and
Harpers. He was also the Foreign Affairs Desk Chief for
Rolling Stone, a position that allowed him to expose the hypocrisies of world politics from the Persian Gulf to the Philippines. Currently he is a regular correspondent for
The Atlantic Monthly.
