P.J. O’Rourke
RIP. He will be missed.
Little-known fact: He was a big fan of space. He was on the board of The Space Foundation. He never used email, but I sent some stuff to him once via his wife, and he wrote a nice letter thanking me.

The Horrific Beijing Olympics
Learning the lessons from them.
I wouldn’t care if there was never another Olympics.

Fact checking what sounds like a monumentally dumb flick.
