Humor: o genial P.J. O'Rourke fazendo análise política
A diferença, para mim, de ler P.J. O'Rourke e Luiz Fernando Verissimo fazendo análise política - ou econômica - é que, embora eu morra de rir de ambos, apenas o primeiro é, intencionalmente, um humorista. Mas eu respeito o direito alheio à ignorância (desde que respeitem o meu...:D ).
Divirta-se:
America, Recuse Thyself! - So the world's mad at us? Maybe we should just say goodbye.
Trecho:
America's protestors against globalization will be able to relax. An inward-looking America is bound to link military and diplomatic disengagement with higher trade barriers. There will be domestic political pressure to create jobs for the hundreds of thousands of returning military personnel, State Department employees, Peace Corps volunteers, network foreign-correspondents, etc. Unfortunately, the jobs will be mostly mowing lawns and taking care of the children of husband/wife lawyer couples, since a decreasing involvement with foreign affairs will lead to an increasing resentment of foreign immigrants. (At a theoretical level there may be no reason why Isolationism, Protectionism and Nativism should be conjoined. But we can hardly have Larry and Curly without Moe.) Yet in a sensitive, diverse 21st-century America, we probably will be spared past excesses. Perhaps we'll see the rise of an In-Klusive Klux Klan. Plus, an increase in the minimum wage will solve the problem of employment inequities.
