More From P. J. O'Rourke

Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him.

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

We breed dogs to be more social than the wolf. there is very interesting research that has been done with a wolf and a domestic dog. if you have a tamed wolf and you have him sit in front of the experimenter or stand in front of his master and his two dishes, one to the right, one to the left – so that the dog or wolf see the food put in the left hand dish but the owner points to the right – the domesticated will go where owner points, whereas the the wolf goes right where he saw the meat thing put. in other words, in a dog social cue from a master can override where he saw the being placed.

I used to play saturday night shows with different little groups. if i could get a show, i would do it. i used to do mad things - i used to go and do these shows and go on my knees and roll on the ground - when i was 15,16 years old. and my parents were extremely disapproving of it all. because it was just not done. this was for very low-class people, remember. rock & roll singers weren't educated people

Now this is the law of the jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; and the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. as the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the law runneth forward and back -- for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

What i can't understand why blacks can't achieve royal status when it comes to forms that they have largely created? i mean there's a white king of rock n' roll, there's a white king of jazz, how come we can never achieve titles of royalty in these fields we are supposed to prevail in? they held a so called rock and roll hall of fame the other night, where white judges credit people who resemble them with the invention of rock and roll. i didn't even see blacks in the audience.
