Political satirist and “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” panelist, P.J. O’Rourke, trains his eye on his own generation in his new book, “THE BABY BOOM: How It Got That Way…And It Wasn’t My Fault…And I’ll Never Do It Again.” O’Rourke writes, “Yes, we’re spoiled rotten. We’re self-absorbed. And it seems like we’ll never shut up. But the boomers made a better world for everyone else. You’re welcome.” P.J. O'Rourke’s books include “Don’t Vote,” “Parliament of Whores,” “Give War a Chance,” “Eat the Rich,” “The CEO of the Sofa,” “Peace Kills” and “On the Wealth of Nation.”
Both Time and The Wall Street Journal have called him “the funniest writer in America.” He frequently appears on television, and is a regular panelist on National Public Radio’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.” He has written for such diverse publications as “Automobile,” “The Weekly Standard,” “House and Garden,” “Foreign Policy,” “The New York Times Book Review,” “Forbes FYI ,” “Rolling Stone” and “The Atlantic Monthly.” “Wait, Wait…” says, “he's known as a hard-bitten, cigar-smoking conservative but, in fact, he bashes all political persuasions.” He was Editor-in-Chief of the National Lampoon from 1978 to 1981 and international affairs correspondent for Rolling Stone from 1985 to 2001.
