More From P. J. O'Rourke

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

Political stuff is all about his [hunter s. thompson] reaction to a situation. and my stuff is much more externally driven.

I was interested in [hunter s. thompson novels]. the rebel in me fell in love with it, and the artist in me was confused by it, and interested and turned on. ever since, his work has meant different things to me, at different times, and i still get new meaning out of it and appreciate it, in a different way. his work is very visceral, and you can take from it what you want, in various moments of your life.

Yet it's true that looks matter in politics... it is also true that perfecting the outer shell has become an obsession in this country... mitt romney, barack obama and john edwards almost always look good, and pretty much the same, in dark suits or casual wear. fred thompson always looks crepuscular and droopy. often hillary clinton looks great, and sometimes she looks tired, heavier or puffier.

But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. when a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. that water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. it is salty, by just the same amount. she makes a little ocean, in her body. and not only this. our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. we carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. and we are crying the oceans, in our tears.

O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! and yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping.
