More From P. J. O'Rourke

40 percent of people who come to visit america on a visa overstay their visa and we have no idea where they are. on 9/11, at least 2 of the hijackers were here on visa. they were traveling back and forth to the middle east. and we really had no idea where they were or what they were doing. and they were overstaying their visa. so there are problems i think in the immigration system that need to be fixed for our safety.
Thinking Ideas America
I believe the visa waiver program, it essentially is the soft underbelly of the visa system. now we have 35 countries in it. we have 16 million people coming in. i believe the overstays still run about 40 percent of the undocumented population. in other words, there's 40 percent that you really don't know where it came from is what i'm trying to say. and i've always suspected people come in on a visitor's visa and they just decide to stay, and that's a large part of the undocumented population.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great sadness that i announce that i will resign as australia's minister for foreign affairs. i am sad because i love this job. i'm totally dedicated to the work that we are doing in australia's name around the world, and i believe that we have achieved many good results for australia, and i'm proud of them.

Money is to everything as an aeroplane is to australia. the aeroplane isn't australia, but it remains the only practical way we know of reaching it. so perhaps, metonymically, the aeroplane is australia after all.
Australia Way Reaching
I am not fully informed of the practices at harvard, but there is one from which we shall certainly vary, although it has been copied, i believe, by nearly every college and academy in the united states. that is, the holding the students all to one prescribed course of reading, and disallowing exclusive application to those branches only which are to qualify them for the particular vocations to which they are destined. we shall, on the contrary, allow them uncontrolled choice in the lectures they shall choose to attend, and require elementary qualification only, and sufficient age.
Education Reading Believe
A man convicted of murder is twenty times more likely than a woman convicted of murder to receive the death penalty. since the 1976 reinstatement of the death penalty, 120 men and only 1 woman have actually been executed. the woman, from north carolina, said she preferred to be executed. in north carolina, a man who commits second-degree murder receives a sentence on average of 12.6 years longer than a woman who commits second-degree murder.

[religious liberty was] in its nature an inalienable right ... because the opinions of men, depending only upon the evidence contemplated by their minds, cannot follow the dictates of other men.

The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.

Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.

Each man, if he attempts to join himself to others, is on all sides cramped and diminished of his proportion; and the stricter theunion, the smaller and the more pitiful he is. but leave him alone, to recognize in every hour and place the secret soul, he will go up and down doing the works of a true member, and, to the astonishment of all, the work will be done with concert, though no man spoke.
