Politics

There are smart conservatives, I swear to you. They can be really funny, too. P.J.O’Rourke’s wonderful essay, succinctly titled “We Blew It.”

“George W. Bush, at his most beneficent, said if illegal immigrants wanted citizenship they would have to do three things: Pay taxes, learn English, and work in a meaningful job. Bush doesn’t meet two out of three of those qualifications.”

“And where were we while Clinton dithered over the massacres in Kosovo and decided, at last, to send the Serbs a message: Mess with the United States and we’ll wait six months, then bomb the country next to you.”
