The 25th John Bonython Lecture and CIS Annual Dinner April 21, 2009

Hosted by: The Centre for Independent Studies

Covering current events with the skill and discipline of an investigative reporter, P J O’Rourke adds a unique spin that has earned him a reputation as a modern-day Will Rogers. Known as a hard-bitten, cigar-smoking conservative, he, in fact, bashes all political persuasions. As he puts it, “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.” Whether dealing with the inner workings of Washington bureaucracy or the shifting political and economic sands of the new world order, O’Rourke proves himself to be a savvy guide to national and world affairs. His razor-sharp insights never fail to inform and entertain.
